Dear Auntie Gloria and cousins Paula, Michael and family - Dori and I offer our deepest condolences on the passing of Uncle Hye. It was always a treat to speak with him esp. when I had the good fortune to bump into him & Gloria by accident while we were each running errands along Bathurst. It brightened my day to see his warm smile and to hear him speak fondly of his grandkids. Hoping you have many happy memories of Hye to cherish and sustain you. zichrono l'vracha

Hye was a lifelong friend of my uncle, Louis Soberman. At Louis' shiva, Hye said that he had known Louis for a longer length of time than Louis' own parents did. Growing up, I remember my grandparents and Louis speak of him often. Hye was a very pleasant and friendly man.

Uncle Hye was such a warm, gentle and caring man. Whenever I think of him I'm reminded of that famous Kirshenbaum smile that would light up his entire face. I always loved seeing him from the time I was a little kid all they way into adulthood. He had such a welcoming way about him that you felt at ease in his presence. From one Kirshy to another, I love you and I will miss you. To his children and grandchildren may God console you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

Hye was an exceptional man. To meet him was to be impressed by his sweetness, his warmth, his intelligence, his decency and an overwhelming commitment to family. He has bequeathed to his family an impressive model for the Kirshenbaums to come.

I think I knew Oomie my whole life and the weekend visits to him and Gloria were so special. The aura of tranquility about him was uniquely his. He is remembered most warmly.

I played bridge in the same group as Hy for many years. He was at all times a consummate gentleman and, of course, the best of bridge players. We missed him greatly when he was no longer able to attend weekly. To his family and friends, my sincere condolences in the loss of this wonderful man!

Hye was one of the sweetest guys in this whole wide world. His smile always lit up a room. Although we did not get a chance to see Hye & Gloria that often over the years, whenever we met is was always with a smile and warm embrace. Gloria, we offer our deepest condolences to you and your children. He was one man that we adored. Love Howie & Rodi Kirshenbaum
