It was with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of Victor Hershaft. WJCS Board President Bruce Freyer captured what a huge loss this is for our community and how grateful we are to Victor for his many contributions. Here are Bruce’s words, ones that resonate in all our hearts:
Victor was, without doubt, the consummate board member. He assumed his position back in 2003, with passion, dedication, and unbounded commitment to WJCS. Victor brought insight and substantive input to every meeting. He had a keen sense of the aims and purpose of WJCS and he committed himself to these goals as an involved and dedicated board member and with all the resources at his disposal. Victor’s sense of humor and his jovial approach to the tasks at hand added a depth of personality that was typically him.
We will miss Victor’s presence, and the gifts of his being, as a member of the board. We bring our words and thoughts of sympathy and condolences to his dear wife, Yvette, and his entire family. We pray that his memory, and the work of his hands, will remain a lasting and eternal tribute to a life of fulfillment and accomplishments for the betterment of his community and world. We are “WJCS Proud” that Victor shared a portion of his life and talents with us.
May his memory be a blessing.
