• Notes

  Died: HIRSCH SAUL (Age 94). Known by family and friends as Sol, passed away on the 28th of February. He resided in Aventura, FL, formerly in Cheltenham, PA. Sol was born in Phila. to Morris and Rebecca Hirsch. He was predeceased by his beautiful loving wife Florence (nee Bucksbaum), and brothers Sidney, Nathan and Frank. He was a wonderful son, brother, devoted and loving husband, beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather and a lifelong friend to many. Survived by his children Barry (Ellen) Hirsch and Sheryl and (Charles) Rand, sister Selma LeVan, brother Seymour (Sue) Hirsch, Grandchildren: Michael (Jackie) Hirsch, Matthew (Natalie) Hirsch, Seth (Carly) Hirsch, Amy (Roger) Moncarz, Jordan (Melissa) Rand, Cory (Nicole Josko) Rand, nine great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was a self made man and gifted entrepreneur who created several very successful businesses, but he always said that his greatest achievement in life was his family. The family visited him often in Florida and brought him much joy as well as the Phila. Inquirer and soft pretzels. Sol was a proud Coast Guard Veteran (serving his country in the South Pacific during WW 11). He enlisted at the age of 16. His years of service were a source of pride that would stay with him for a lifetime and he never left home without his Coast Guard Veterans hat. He had an incredible wry sense of humor and he loved playing practical jokes on his friends and family. Sol was a voracious reader who enjoyed reading history, fiction as well as business journals. He plowed through books quicker than he could be supplied. His appetite for learning was insatiable. He was an avid Phillies and Eagles fan and enjoyed playing golf with his buddies as well as with his wife Florence. He lived life to the fullest on his own terms. Funeral arrangements are private. Donations in his memory can be made to: Crohn's Colitis Foundation located: 733 Third Ave., Suite 510, New York, NY 10017 or Shriners Hospital for Children: 2900 Rocky Point Dr., Tampa, FL 33607.
