Andy Herman was a dynamic and enthusiastic man, a beloved husband, father and grandfather.

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s nearly 20 years ago, Andy maintained a positive attitude and worked out religiously to delay the inevitable until finally succumbing on October 22, 2019, almost reaching the age of 85.

“Every day is a Holiday!” and “The Best Day of My Life!” were his famous greetings to everyone in his path.
 
Born in Budapest, Hungary, he was raised by his grandparents from the age of 10 after he lost both his mother and father during World War II.

In 1956, at the age of 21, he met his love at a dance and within ten minutes he told her “You’re going to be my wife!” She thought he was crazy but stayed with the exciting young man. Six months later, during the Hungarian Revolution, they escaped to Vienna, Austria in a harrowing journey to cross the border. In early 1957, they made their way to Palm Beach, Florida where they gained employment at the Biltmore Hotel. With money from their first paycheck, they took an afternoon off and became the first Hungarian refugees to get married in Palm Beach County.
 
Soon after they moved to Connecticut where Andy and his wife started a family while he worked at numerous companies in manufacturing before starting his own consulting company named Andy Herman Associates. Andy consulted a wide range of clients from small family businesses to large corporations like American Express. The late Fred DeLuca of Subway restaurants attributes Andy’s consulting service as one of the top 5 reasons his company grew and become so successful. Although Andy retired over 20 years ago, the company still retains many of his original clients.
 
In retirement, Andy and his wife loved traveling throughout the US in their motor home finally settling where they started in Palm Beach county, FL where they enjoyed spending time with friends. Andy was an inspiration to everyone he met and has truly affected the lives of all with his positive motivational attitude on life!

He leaves behind his devoted and loving wife of 62 years, his two sons and their wives, and his three granddaughters.
