Dr. Jerrold "Jerry" Herman, of Ann Arbor, MI, passed away on Thursday, April 29th, 2021 at the age of 77. He is survived by his beloved wife, Elise Herman (nee Krasnov); daughters, Jennifer (Neil) Stiber and Jill (Ami) Goldfein; and grandchildren, Aryeh, Esther, Tamar, Yonah, and Eliana Stiber, and Ilan, Nava, and Asher Goldfein. He was predeceased by his cherished parents, Stella and Victor Herman.
Jerry was a devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather. He was a lifelong naturalist with an encyclopedic memory, and a love of all science and knowledge. A dentist by profession and an artist by passion, he was as skilled with a paintbrush as he was with a dental probe. Jerry loved life and his contentment shone on his smiling face.
A private graveside funeral is planned for New York. Contributions in his memory may be sent to Jewish Family Services of Washentaw County, 2245 S. State Street, Suite 200, Attn: Development Department, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, or Temple Beth Emeth, 2309 Packard Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48104, or Foundations Preschool, 3770 Packard Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48108.
