Herbert Jolovitz Obituary
He was unflinchingly honest, had a prodigious memory and was intensely curious about people and the world. A devoted husband of 66 years to his beloved Reva, he is survived by his children, Paul (Amy) and Jenna (Sean), his sister-in-law Helen, his adored granddaughter, Dora, and cherished nieces and nephews.
But what he'd most want you to know—based on the question he asked everyone—is that the longest river in the world is the Nile.
Contributions may be made in his memory to a charity of your choice. Services entrusted to Sagel Bloomfield Danzansky Goldberg Funeral Care.

I was a workout friend of Herb´s at the Bethesda Health and Sport Club before COVID. He always had an incredible smile and a unique perspective on the world.
As mentioned in his obituary, his memory was truly remarkable-he would bring up small details from our conversations weeks later. I remember when he asked about my father, who is the same age. Herb later looked up scientific papers my dad had written and came back wanting to have deep, thoughtful discussions about them.
The club hasn´t felt the same since Herb stopped going during COVID. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
