Edward Kenneth Kennedy 6-12-39 - 1-08-04 On this day, I look back over the years we spent together. I can see us when we met and fell in love, when everything was so new and exciting. I remember some of the difficult times and how we worked our way through them. I smile when I think of all the fun we had and the joy we shared. We were partners in a marriage that was strong and secure because we worked at it and because we never forgot why we married each other in the first place - for love, forever. I love you, Elaine |

HIRSCHMAN, William, 85, of Richmond, passed away January 6, 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grand-father, brother, and uncle. Bill was born June 15, 1924 in Brooklyn, N.Y. He volunteered for Coast Guard service during WWII, and served in the Pacific Theater as a Pharmacist's Mate (medic).

He spent his career with the Veterans Administration counseling veterans and serving as Chief of the Psychology Service at the VA Medical Centers in Chillicothe, Ohio and Richmond, Va. Bill married the love of his life, Rita, in 1950, and they lived happily together until her death in 2001. Life took him from New York to New Jersey to Ohio to Virginia, and finally back again to Ohio to live near his loving daughter, Laura. Bill loved music, and with his trumpet, led his own swing band when he was young. He adored animals, and would always break into a huge smile when he encountered a dog, cat or a bird. He also loved science fiction and slide rules, calculators and cameras. He was very fond of the community at Congregation Or Ami in Richmond, and served for several years as President there. Bill is survived by his children, Clifford, Laura, and Suzanne; and by his grandchildren, Marc, Benjamin, and Dylan. His gentle kindness and impish sense of humor will stay with us always.
