Stern, Harold
Harold Stern (5/21/21-2/27/05) Herschel ben Reuven Born in Sandusky, Ohio, to
Rabbi Joseph Stern and his wife Regina (nee Schwartz), Harold grew up in an
orthodox home with ten brothers and sisters. Hebrew, Yiddish and Hungarian
were spoken in addition to English, and Harold exhibited an early gift for
singing and speaking, performing in high school plays and chanting torah well
enough to move his father to suggest he become a cantor. Harold worked at a
young age at his older brother's donut shop and had an active mind and strong,
athletic body. Joining the army to fight in the European Theater in World War
II, an intelligence test instead led to his training as an X-ray technician.
He was stationed in Panama where he achieved the rank of sergeant. After his
Honorable Discharge he went to Los Angeles to study at the respected Actors'
Lab on the G.I. Bill. He appeared in plays, studied opera, and sang at many
community events. His baritone was admired throughout his life. What Harold p
ossessed in acknowledged artistry he lacked in self-promotion. In 1955 he met
Suzanne Pierrette Josset on a blind date. They were married one month later.
They had two sons, Kurt Joseph Stern and Erik Albert Stern, whom they loved
and who in turn adore and revere them. Harold was a devoted father and a
beaming grandfather of five, Walker, Hannah, Cole, Gustave and Lukas. His
understated bedrock commitment to equality and fairness brought the respect
and friendship of co-workers in the furniture business and neighbors. He was
distraught by injustice and chose to battle it one person at a time. He began
studying yoga in the mid-nineteen sixties to help his back. Suzanne soon took
it up and became a respected yoga teacher. They were fervent readers and loved
to share their home with others. Harold had the widest standard of success and
appreciation for others, and perhaps the narrowest for himself. There was a
grace and mystery about him, an unmistakable sinew to his presence. He was
stalwar t and extraordinarily reliable, which contrasted his whimsical singing
of snatches of tunes as patted the change in his pocket. In the best tradition
of theater, he kept us guessing. Harold and Suzanne moved from their house in
L.A. two years ago to join Erik and his family in Ogden, Utah. In recent years
he sometimes could be found dancing with aides in the nursing facilities he
lived in. Years ago he obtained a Realtors license, never selling anything but
a few outlying acres to himself. He found them beautiful, and his art was to
enjoy the wonder to be found in leaving things be. The world knows nothing of
its greatest men. He is survived by his wife, sons, sisters Alice and Annette,
brother Jack, daughters-in-law Diane and Nicki, and numerous nieces and
nephews. Funeral services were held in Mission Hills, California on March 1,
2005 and also in Ogden on March 2, 2005. Send condolences to family at
