'Hymie', known by his friends, was born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in Saint John, N.B. He spent his working life in Sydney, N.S., where he raised his family. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dalhousie University in 1953. Upon graduation, he went to work for his father in Glace Bay to help run a scrapyard business known as, Metal Processors Limited. He went back to university as a mature student, where he completed his Bachelor and Masters degrees in Education from Acadia and St. F.X. universities. In 1969, he joined the Nova Scotia Eastern Institute of Technology as an instructor and retired at the University College of Cape Breton (UCCB) in 1994. During his tenure at UCCB, he served as Director of the Performing Arts Series. In this role, he was responsible for attracting such world-renowned musicians as, classical guitarists, Liona Boyd and Michael Laucke, jazz legend, Oliver Jones and harpist, Loreena McKennitt. In 1977, he wrote and produced a documentary on Maritime Jewry that aired on CBC Radio. The documentary spoke to the challenges of growing up Jewish in small communities and the many challenges Jews faced when first arriving in the Maritimes from Eastern Europe. It featured the choir from Sydney’s Temple Sons of Israel Synagogue, as well as several interviews with Jewish youth and seniors from communities throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. In the mid 1980s, he and his wife, Rosalyn owned and operated a plant and gift boutique in Sydney. Upon retirement, he became heavily involved in the Sydney synagogue, The Temple Sons of Israel. With his lovely voice, he served as the local cantor, performing the Friday night and Saturday morning services. He also took art lessons in retirement and became an accomplished oil painter of seascapes.He was a huge fan of music, particularly the big band jazz era of the 1940s and the singer-songwriter era of the 1960s and 70s. Hymie was a loving and devoted husband and father. He cherished his wife, Rosalyn. He was heavily involved in his children’s lives. He rarely missed a hockey game, a dance recital or dinner theatre production where his kids participated. He had a special place in his heart for his only grandchild, Sarah.
