At the last momnet, I decided to make a super fast trip to Vegas for the Hafen Chrismas Party. On the way, Maissie and I stopped to see GGPA Hersch like we always do. He was extremely frail, and uncomfortable. We chatted for a short while, but I could tell he was tired. He said he had a bad night the night before. We hugged him and kissed him on the cheek and left. When I left, I remmeber praying that he would be taken peacfully and soon. He passed away the next day.
When I heard the news, I was surrounded by all of my brothers and parents. It was a tender mercy moment for me. My grandpa had a very special place in my heart. I would call him almost weekly the last year or so of his life. He was an extremely strong, smart, quiet person, and I loved him to pieces.
