Herman "Hy" Solof

Solof, Herman "Hy", - 102, of Ventnor, passed on December 21. Many people knew him as "Mr King," the popular owner of King Liquor Store at North Carolina and Baltic Avenues that he made into a successful local business serving the community. Living such a long life is an inspiration to all. Imagine living through so many different moments of time. He lived those years to the fullest. A very loving, devoted and dedicated family man - married to his wonderful wife Rose for 72 years - who always had a kind, funny or helpful word or story for everyone. He was a proud World War II veteran who fought in the important and liberating battle at Normandy. He was very involved with the Beth Judah synagogue and for many years led the morning minyan service. He enjoyed a very active life and especially liked deep sea fishing, photography and RV camping. He regularly attended the programs at the Beron Jewish Older Adult Services and cherished the companionship of the friends he met there. Shalom to a good soul. He is survived by his three children, Allen, Elayne Zelda, and Sandy Clott & her husband, Steve. He was the cherished grandfather of Stu Clott & his wife Nicole and Sharon Kanter & her husband Jared. He adored his five great grandchildren, Miles & Rosie, Clott and Brody, Hudson & Robyn Kanter.
