HERSHOFF Jeffrey “Jack” Hershoff, on January 9th, 2021
in total peace and in his sleep as we had
prayed, our Father Jeffrey “Jack” Hershoff
passed away. He was a dynamic and com-
plicated man who lived a rich and adventur-
ous life; most notably as a World Class Black
Jack and Poker Player, a Vietnam Veteran, a
man of faith in G-d, and restless in spirit as
he was a seeker, an entrepreneur, always
traveling around the country and world find-
ing opportunity, adventure and in commu-
nion with the G-d who lived in him, the one
and only true G-d. Son of Abraham and Yetta,
he was born in 1950 in the Overbrook sec-
tion of Philadelphia. Brother to Michael Her-
shoff, and Arlene (nee) Solomon, Brother-in-
law to Mike Solomon, Beloved Father to Rita
(nee) Hertzog, and Franklin McAdam by ad-
option, Father-in-law to Philip Hertzog (who
played many long hours of chess with Jef-
frey, and even in the end could not beat him),
Grandfather to Sofia, Samantha, Gavin,
Emma, Isaac, Lucas, Pearl, Olivia and Fredy.

He leaves behind cousins, a niece Ashley
(nee) Morse, nephew Jason Solomon, great-
nieces Madyson, Raegan, Ava and Great-
Nephew Aiden, life long friends, classmates
and business partners, and he is reunited
with his parents and younger brother Mi-
chael, whom he loved with his whole heart.

Jeffrey was a high school drop-out, and mar-
ried our Mother Tia McAdam when they were
very young adults. Yet, he was an educated
man who read thousands of books, and
wrote thousands of more letters, and under-
stood the very essence of life, through his
reading, writings and musings. He was a man
both at once burdened by his troubles and
transcendent in all possible ways. He was
honorable, loyal to the end, and as grounded
in his principles as he was wistful and play-
ful as a child. Stubborn-as-a-mule he beat
Covid-19, and then died on his own terms.

On behalf of my Father and in keeping with
Jewish tradition I ask all that knew him to
forgive him for any grievances and tres-
passes and remember the essence of his
light and love, his intelligence, his honor, his
humor, his mitzvahs, and although he was
not humble in life, he did the best he could to
always do the right thing. And he succeeded
as much as any man can succeed. In the end
he told me that we were his legacy and that
the faces of our children would carry our
family’s legacy long into the future far bey-
ond his eyes could see, and he was proud of
all of us. From my dad I inherit my own tena-
cious spirit of adventure, an intuition that is
generational and beyond the ages, and a will
to survive. He will be sorely missed, and
already we feel strange being on earth
without one of our parents. And yet, we know
that a parents love transcends all things, even
death. And as he once told us “time is not lin-
ear. If we once were, we always are.” May
you remember my father well. Rest In Peace
Jeffrey, Jack, Maxman, Laid-back Jack, Dad.

I will never forget you, and I know we will be
together again. February 23, 1950 - January
9, 2021.
