ALBERT KORMAN Obituary

KORMAN--Albert Harold. On December 2, 2019 (Manhattan) we lost a loving and dearly loved man; a faithful defender of social justice and ardent NY Yankees fan. Born in the Bronx in 1929, Hal served as Army Corpsman Korman(!) in the Korean War, followed by a career in social work and the corrections field, retiring as New York City Deputy Commissioner of Probation in the early 1990s. He was also a brilliant pianist who could instantly play by ear any song he heard. With Hal at masterful command, his Steinway was the centerpiece of countless joyful social gatherings. We will miss his affection, his wit, and his wonderful smile. Survived by his wife of 64 years, Alice; sons Bruce Korman (Miriam Putnam) and Glenn (Katie) Korman; one grandson; many adoring nieces and nephews; legions of friends. A memorial service will be held on December 14, 2019 in Manhattan. Please contact the family for further details. Memorial donations in Hal's honor may be made to Exploring The Arts www.exploringthearts.org

We lost my Uncle Tonto ( that's a whole other story) this week! He was, perhaps, the only true uncle I really had. He would hug me and kiss me every time I saw him. He would berate me when I was inappropriate and would laugh at my comments. He became my uncle when I married one of his incredible nieces and accepted me immediately as one of his own. He was a good man who could be a bureaucrat on one hand and an amazing musician on the other, who could hear a song and immediately play it. - no readable music necessary. I will miss my dear Tonto, far more than even I realize. I will miss his smile! I will miss his laugh! I will miss his intelligence! I will miss sitting next to him or standing by the piano as he let me sing my heart out, be it standards or the entire score of Fiddler. I will miss this man who touched my life as few others have. But, most of all, I will miss his absolute goodness. Rest well, dear friend!!! You will be sorely missed!
