OBITUARY
Gerald P. Hecht at 93 years young. Devoted husband to Joan nfor 68 years. Beloved Father, father-in-law, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Jerry was the NYC probation commissioner and was elected to the first NYC decentralization school board. He proudly served in the US Army during the Korean conflict. While he had many wonderful achievements, his greatest legacy is the love, warmth, and strength he showed for and inspired in his family, all of whom were fortunate enough to know him and be loved by him. He was a truly religious person, giving more to the world than he expected to receive. His strength of character and capacity for joy is hoped to be emulated by all who loved him.
Rest in peace Jerry. Patience and perseverance.
