Howard Hirsch Obituary

You were an incredible Professor and friend. You helped me get through school. Always told me to take care of myself. I was sad to see you passed. Thank you for all your contributions in this life.

Today I went to send you a text message because your birthday was yesterday. I googled your name to learn you passed away. You were an amazing professor and friend. You taught me a lot and I'm thankful for all your help getting through college. You took time out of your life to help others achieve. Thank you!

My Bible is marked up with notes from the many things Rabbi Hirsch taught us at the Adult Seminars at First Lutheran in Colorado Springs and I read them with fondness and great memories of his teachings.

Howard had a profound impact on my ministry, and will be remembered for the generous, intelligent, gentleman he was, for all my days.

We were surprised & saddened to read Rabbi Howard Hirsch's obituary in the Sunday paper. He was a bright, kind, generous, devoted man. Bill & I were involved in the Christian-Judeo events and dinners & sad that they dissolved. The adult education seminars that Rabbi Hirsch led were very informative and also fun - he had a wonderful sense of humor and was a gifted teacher. We were blessed to have him among us! He will be missed by many!

Rabbi Hirsch was one of my favorite professors at Regis! He had a profound gift of transcending faith in to respectful study for all of his students. I have, and will, carry what he taught me and pass it on....My condolences to his family and friends. Sherry Butcher

It is with a great sense of sadness to hear of the death of this remarkable man. I add my voice to the many who offer "May his memory be for blessing." When Howard was the Rabbi of Temple Shalom, I was a Pastor at Broadmoor United Church of Christ, and there was a great deal of cooperation and comradery between our congregations. His support and friendship was more than valued by me; his mentoring was gracious and profoundly impactful. The list of his accomplishments does not lift up the hundreds, maybe thousands, of individuals he nurtured with his generosity in sharing his gifts of intelligence, insight into the human soul, his incredibly deep and broad education, and his peaceful presence sprinkled with a erudite sense of humor.
His ceaseless working for peace and cooperation in Colorado Springs is a monument in the hearts of those who were so blessed to have known him. May it bring some comfort in your loss, for his family and dear friends, to know that he was appreciated, loved, and revered in his time here, and that the memory of his personality, his work, his living out the love of God for God's creation continues to motivate and inspire. Eva, children, grand children and extended family, God grant you peace.
Baruch dayan emet.

For those in Colorado Springs who remember, and cherish, this extraordinary man, is there a time we might gather (taking all precautions concerning the virus) to share our feelings of loss, and incredible gratitude that he once touched our lives?

I am so sorry to hear about Rabbi Hirsch's death. My husband and I attended many of his adult seminars at First Lutheran Church in Colorado Springs and we both enjoyed them and learned a lot! Our sympathies to his family

My heartfelt sympathy to Howard's loved ones. He was truly a great man and will be missed.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal;
love leaves a memory no one can steal.

May God be with you during this difficult time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
