Joan,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
You,Herb & my former wife Sandy used to 'double-date' - in the 50's .I remember Herbie & I talked about the 'wafers' he sold to churches and the 'bird-seed' business he was in. This past year we were in Mr. Stern's office in NY. He was the owner of the Hartz-Mtn. Co. It brought back fun memories of Herb & I talking business.

Although I haven't seen Herb in many years, he was a dear friend during our high school days when we were members of the Jewish Youth League. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Dear Joan and Auerbach family,
I send my deepest condolences and sympathy for the passing of Herb. I will miss his wonderful smile and words of wisdom in the Education Center at Chalet. I met him late in his life and I feel so honored to have become a friend. He used to give me all the credit for teaching him about gardening. I give him credit for wonderful philosophies about life. He was so proud of his family, always saying beautiful words about you all. My prayers and love are sent to you and to him.
Fondly,
Jennifer Brennan
