Ben HOCHMAN
By Marilyn
HERBERT,
Monday,
December 29, 2003 - Page A20
Born in Wierzbice, Poland, in 1908, 1910, or 1912 -- depending
on the document consulted. Died November 4, in Toronto, of general decline, aged (about) 95.
Ben HOCHMAN lived a very long, healthy (and unmedicated) life
to the end. In his prime, his first 90 years, he could out-walk,
out-carry and out-smile any of us. He loved being in his garden,
or at his sewing machine, caring for his grandchildren or simply
reciting aloud all the street signs while riding in the car.
He cherished life and always faced it with a positive outlook.
He was born in Wierzbice, Poland in 1908, 1910, or 1912 - --
depending on which government document you were looking at. Birth
certificates were expensive and especially difficult to come
by. On my father's 75th birthday, he laughed and said he was
sorry but he could not accept our gift because he was not yet
75. He had been drafted into the Polish Army at 19 instead of
the obligatory 21. The only way he had of pinpointing the accurate
date, was to recall the celebration of his bar-mitzvah.
Born to Naftali and Rivka
HOCHMAN,
Ben was one of a family of
four boys and one girl. After their father had an accident that
claimed the use of his hands, Ben and his brothers took up tailoring.
In time, Ben married Hennele
GREENBERG and they had two small boys, each born while he was away in the army.
War brought bitter times to the Jews of Europe, but Ben had always
enjoyed good relations with his Polish neighbours. In the end,
it was a good Polish family who saved Ben and his surviving brother,
Yosef, by keeping them hidden in their barn for two years. During
this time, two of the family's children were arrested and detained,
but never gave up Ben and Yosef; the brothers, protected by the
family dog, slept each night in the fields far from detection, returning to hiding at sunrise.
The war cost Ben the lives of his parents, his remaining brothers,
sister and sister-in-law, his wife and young sons, but not his
dauntless spirit. Ben and Yosef left Poland in search of a way
to rebuild their shattered lives. When they arrived at the displaced
persons camp in Feldafing, Germany, Ben met and married Fanny
AJDELBAUM, a young woman he had previously known from his old neighbourhood.
Desperate to leave Europe's destruction and mayhem, Ben put his
name on every emigration list he could find. Salvation came from
Canada: Jews with experience and skills in the garment industry
were able to enter Canada. An uncle, Mendel
HOFFMAN, sponsored
him, and so while his only surviving brother finally arrived
in Israel, Benny, Fanny and Marilyn disembarked at Pier 21 in
Halifax and moved on to Toronto, where six years later, Harry was born.
Life was never easy but, by working extremely hard, Ben made
a good living, first as a tailor and, finally, as a smoke-shop
proprietor. Ben never minded working 14 hours a day, seven days
a week and 51 weeks a year, because he was in Canada. Although
he missed his brother, he was forever grateful for the opportunities and Friendships he made here.
He raised two children, Marilyn and Harry, who gave him the loves
of his life -- his six grandchildren: Jenny, David, Adina, Laura,
Mark and Steven. He was a proud and doting grandfather who babysat,
drove them to their Friends and enjoyed watching them in their various activities.
Everyone's life is unique, but survivors of any of history's
atrocities will always have a special place. Regretfully, Ben
and his brother, Yosef, both passed away this same year. Despite
living half a world apart for more than half a century, their bond continues to be unbreakable.
Marilyn HERBERT is Ben's daughter.

Rolf O. KROGER, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Psychology University
of Toronto
Rolf died, as he lived, with grace, courage, humour and dignity,
at home on April 18th, 2003, of advanced prostate cancer. He
was the devoted and beloved husband of Linda
WOOD. He was the
cherished son of Erna
KROGER and son-in-law of Adele
WOOD; loving
brother of Harold and Jurgen
KROGER; dear brother-in-law of Wilma
KROGER,
Edelgard
DEDO, Lorraine

WOOD,
Jonathan and Nicole
WOOD,
Phillippe
NOEL, and Jose and David
TILLETT, and nephew of Liesl
WINTER,
Otto
WINTER and Alf and
Sue MODJESKI.
Rolf was born in Hamburg, Germany, on September
28th, 1931. He emigrated to Canada in 1952, and completed a B.A.
in psychology at Sir George Williams College (now Concordia University)
in 1957. Following his M.A. (1959) at Columbia University, New
York, he received his Ph.D. in psychology from the University
of California at Berkeley in 1963. His advisor, Prof. Theodore
R. SARBIN
(Prof.
Emeritus,
University of California, Santa Cruz,)
has continued to be a valued colleague and dear friend, together
with Rolf's fellow graduate student, Prof. Karl E.
SCHEIBE of
Wesleyan University and Karl's wife Wendy. Rolf joined the Department
of Psychology at the University of Toronto in 1964 and continued
his research and writing in social psychology after retiring
in 1996. Rolf's work addressed a variety of topics concerning
the individual in the social system. His articles and papers
on the social psychology of test-taking, hypnosis, history, epistemology,
methodology and the discipline of social psychology all reflected
his dissatisfaction with the status quo combined with proposals
for new directions. For more than 20 years he has worked with
Linda A. WOOD
(University of Guelph) on topics in language and
social psychology (e.g., terms of address and politeness), and
most recently on a book on discourse analysis. At the time of
his death, he was working on a discursive critique of the 'Big
Five' personality theory enterprise and on stories of his experiences
growing up in Germany during the Second World War. Rolf also
took great pleasure in teaching and greatly valued the opportunity
to work for almost forty years with so many talented and enthusiastic
students, both undergraduate and graduate. Rolf was privileged
to have many long-lasting Friendships, and he was grateful for
the encouragement, help and comfort given by so many, especially

HERSH died Thursday, May 15, 2003 of cancer, at
age 57. Mendy met every challenge, as he did his final challenge,
far too young, with grace and amazing courage. He passionately
taught history and economics to packed classes, where his dedication
and caring inspired a multitude of adoring students and the admiration
of his colleagues. He was totally devoted and in love with his
wife Barbara, whom he married in 1971, and he delighted in their
three children, Michael, Lara, and David, who were absolutely
central in his life. He also leaves his brother Harvey

Murray "Mendy"
HERSH
By Richard E.
ROTMAN
Tuesday,
September 2, 2003 - Page A16
Teacher, coach, husband, father. Born February 10, 1946, in Toronto.
Died May 15 in Toronto, of prostate cancer, aged 57.
As school re-opens this September at Toronto's Humberside Collegiate
Institute,
Murray▲ "
Mendy▲"
HERSH won't be there. For the first
time in 31 years, the remarkably popular history and economics
teacher, and legendary basketball coach and player, won't take
up his chalk and stand before his blackboard.
Even after receiving a terminal diagnosis, Mendy refused to quit
teaching. He had accumulated more than a year's worth of sick
days -- from never being ill in the past -- and declined to use
them, declaring that quitting would mean giving in to the disease.
In his last year, as the disease and its many enervating treatments
wore him out, he sometimes taught sitting down. He maintained
his fondness for the lighter side, employing everyday examples
for concepts in economics such as the elasticity of demand, often
basing his humorous stories on his children's life experiences.
As it took an even greater toll, he reluctantly taught half-days
and would return home, awakening the next day with absolute determination
to keep on teaching. He maintained this regimen until two months
before his death, when he was admitted to Princess Margaret Hospital.
Mendy was renowned for coaching Humberside to the Senior Basketball
Championship in 1979 over Oakwood Collegiate, when that school
was a city hoops powerhouse. But he wasn't a coach just for the
team's stars. Once there was a game late in the season and Humberside
was far ahead. Mendy called the roster's 12th and least-able
player to the floor. Once this player entered the game, Mendy
called the plays to support him. He directed the other, more
talented players to work around the 12th man's abilities so he
could have the experience of passing, shooting and leading the
team.
His players knew that he came by his expertise honestly. Growing
up in the Annex neighbourhood, Mendy had been a basketball star
in his days at Harbord Collegiate Institute. As his son Michael
recounts, "My dad played on the 1965 Senior City Championship
team at Harbord Collegiate. He was named a city all-star in a
number of newspaper publications that year. He was the point
guard and his very good friend Joe
FAUST was the shooting guard.
They were a dynamic combination and many people came to watch
their outstanding court style and passing and shooting skills."
Mendy's family was his other unshakeable passion. He loved his
wife, Barbara, with a delight so profound that it was obvious
to their multitude of Friends that this was a loving marriage
that worked -- for 31 years. They married when she was 19 and
he was 26 and produced three children: Michael, Lara, and David.
Mendy wore the title of "family man" with pride, always there
for his kids and teaching nights and summers so the
HERSHes could
have a little more than a teacher's salary provided; each child,
in turn, learned an outstanding work ethic and always contributed
to their education and needs.
Mendy kept pushing forward long beyond specialists' expectations
so that he could observe and participate in various family milestones,
such as David's proud completion of his first year McGill. His
children and Friends were shocked as the disease began to take
its toll. To callers, Mendy would put on his "Cary Grant" voice
robust and mellifluous -- to persuade them of his good health,
yet there was no denying the changes in his appearance.
There are few like Mendy left; teaching wasn't about money, it
was about the students and that was where his heart remained.
He leaves behind a gigantic hole at Humberside, and also in his
family and legions of Friends.
Richard is a friend of Mendy
HERSH.
