RICHARD HEYMAN Obituary

HEYMAN--Richard Simon, 87. Died June 25, 2013. Attorney born in, and proudly practiced his entire career in the Bronx ("El Abogado"). Served in the Third Fleet, US Navy, World War II. NYU Law School (courtesy of the GI Bill). Husband to Sulamita Szarf Heyman (died 2007). Father of Paul Heyman, and Grandfather of Azalea and Jacob Heyman of Scarsdale (Edgemont), New York. Uncle to Laurie (Gerardo) Pina, Wendy (Wayne) Zeilner and Mitchell (Joan/Alyssa/Kevin) Norwin. His knowledge, intelligence, street smarts, sense of humor, kindness, ethics, loyalty and sage wisdom enriched all those around him. There are no adjectives posted here, for no description could ever do this man justice. His grandchildren will one day tell their children about "Papu," and they will do so with great pride. Don't mourn this death. He got more out of life than a kid from the Depression could ever dream imaginable. Services Friday, June 28 at Noon at The Weinstein Memorial, 1652 Central Park Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10710, (914)793-3800

Paul...we go back a long ways..I could never forget those Sunday morning Carpools rides with your dad..He was a vibrant man with a rapier like wit and a heavy pedal to the metal of the car !

I know one thing for sure.. he was enormously proud of your successes.. You came a long way from mimeographing the wrestling newsletter in his office

My thoughts are with the rest of the Heyman family for their loss. From the success that Paul has had in his career, it seems as if he had a terrific role model that raised him. Though I did not know Richard personally, the emphasis, emotion, and dedication that Paul has put into his work in the wrestling business clearly mirrors that of his father as an attorney and in the Navy. May he Rest in Peace.
