Funeral Details

Herman S. Hefler (83) passed away on June 29, 2024. Herman is predeceased by his wife, Faye C. Hefler. Herman is survived by his daughters, Marcie Hefler and Sharon Hefler. Herman is predeceased by his sister, the late Alice (Tom) Daly and survived by his brother David (Jean) Hefler. Herman was a loving uncle, a dear friend to many and partner in crime to Ronnie Caplan. For what Herman lacked in height, he made up in big personality. Herman will be remembered for his “Hermanisms” and the wisdom he bestowed on his daughters, their friends and his employees, who became family members. Herman was born in Manhattan, NY and grew up in The Bronx. He was a proud graduate of the Bronx High School of Science before attending Farleigh Dickinson University. He was a long-time resident of Buffalo Grove, Illinois, where he served on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Herman and Faye loved to travel, and they could often be found on a cruise exploring the Panama Canal. When Herman wasn’t cruising, he was cheering on his beloved Green Bay Packers, following Faye around in local art fairs and of late, serving as President of the Residents’ Council at his assisted living facility.
