I was very close with Hershy and his brother Izek z’l in the 80’s the amount of tzedokah they gave, the amount of food parcels they would drop at peoples front doors, was incredible, may both the Zellarmaire families be comforted and be blessed
A very wonderful beautiful person

Networking before the word was invented
Heshy, Isaac AH together with Mrs Marcus yblct worked tirelessly to help raise the spirits and material needs of the poor and downtrodden.
His tzedaka was discrete and unstintedly.
They scouted out the needs of others 40 years before the word networking was invented.

He will be missed. I used to see him around the neighborhood quite often. He was always up for a little shmooze.
May his family be comforted with good memories of him.
Best childhood memories
Me and my friends would step almost every day
Buy a candy say hello such a fine fine
Person
I remember him as a young beloved delivery boy for Hoffman fruit
Then as a young store owner
Then the giving candy’s to children
What a lose to a community
More then 50 years of love devotion
A warm family man, always selflessly looking out for the needs of others. Nothing gave him more joy than making someone feel comfortable, cared for, and taken care of. He raised a wonderful family, who embody these virtues he instilled in them. צנצב’ה
