HERMAN HOCHBERG Obituary

HOCHBERG--Herman. With a heavy heart, I am sorry to announce that on October 19, 2023, I lost my most special and beloved father. My father was my rock and role model, and to countless others as well. A true "Mensch" who loved life more than anyone I have ever known. A man of responsibility. He gave the love of his life, my mom, who he adored, his whole heart and still had room for me. He gave back to those less fortunate through his incredible Philanthropy. He helped so many people who also called him their father and never made them feel like a burden. The master joke teller, he only wanted to see people smile and have a good L'Chaim. My dad was my hero from the moment I was born and always will be. A true love for life - he taught me how to appreciate every moment. His happiness was contingent on mine, and I thank Hashem that I was able to have such a special father who instilled such important Jewish and essential life values in me. He was an inspiration to everyone who was lucky enough to meet him and I hope to be able to carry on even a small part of his everlasting legacy. I love you forever, Dad. Baruch Dayan Haemet. Marisa Joelle Hochberg

We had the great pleasure of meeting Herman when we attended our first Friday night service and dinner lecture about 15 years ago. It was hard to get there since we live in Mount Sinai, Long Island, an easy hour and twenty minute ride with no traffic, but we enjoyed the services and talking with Herman.

He was always accessible and looked forward to our periodic FaceTimes - especially once the pandemic hit and it was impossible to visit.

We will surely miss his warmth, charm, leadership and friendship.

Marisa, our deepest sympathies and thank you for such a beautiful tribute to your dad.

With deepest sympathy,
Joyce & Ken Greenberg
