Herman Wax Obituary

WAX, Herman, age 87, of Richmond, Va., passed away on Wednesday, February 22, 2023.

Preceded in death by his first wife, Marilyn Wax; and sister, Sylvia Weigand. Survived by his sons, Allan Wax (Jan) and Jeff Green (Kathy); wife, Annie Lou Wax; and countless other family and friends that he connected with all these decades. He grew up in the Lower East Side of New York City, eventually moving to Brooklyn and then to Old Bridge, N.J. in 1972, working as a bookbinder in a small factory in N.Y.C. for many years. He eventually moved to Richmond, Va. in 1992 to be closer to his son. He will be missed by many. He always had a knack for talking to anyone, enjoyed going to the local coffee shops and striking up conversation. All enjoyed his company and kindness.

The family will have a small graveside service, Friday, March 17, 2023 at Greenwood Memorial Gardens at 2 p.m., to honor his memory.
