ANOTHER HUGE LOSS FOR THE LOWENSTEIN FAMILY
WE DIDNT JUST LOSE AN UNCLE WE LOST AN EVED HASHEM
UNCLE HERBY IN HIS MORE STABLE YEARS WOULD ALWAYS ENJOY VISITS, SIMCHAS, AND PHONE CALLS.
IT WAS REMARKABLE THAT HE TRIUMPHED ON EVEN BATTLING LONG TERM ILLNESS HE OUTLIVED BOTH OF HIS OLDER BROTHERS.
MAY HIS NESHAMA BE A MELITZ YOSHER FOR THE FAMILY AND KLAL YISROEL.

He was so proud of David Max, Abraham and Solomon. Rita was his Eishet Chyil.
He looked up to her and was so greatful to have her. May his memory be for a blessing

Baruch Dayan Haemet . Natan Tzvi ben Max and Yita (Herb) was an upright Jew and opened his home for guests along with his wife Rita (Rasa Leah) and children as did Abraham our father. He along with his wife Rita and children helped in their participation in the mitzvah of Bikur Cholim (visiting the sick) and many other acts of chesed(giving, kindness, gratitude). When one sheds tears over the passing of an upright Jew, Hashem (G-d) counts the tears and puts them in His treasure house.

Herb was a wonderful man. A loyal husband, a loving father and grandfather. He had a lot of physical challenges over the years, but never lost his faith. I’m so glad he got to see and celebrate the two recent marriages of his sons.

May you keep him alive with only good memories.

You have our deepest condolences.
