I asked myself not long ago which person had had the most impact on my education. That was certainly Monsieur Salomon (as he was known when I was one of his French students so many years ago at Rutgers). Through his superb teaching and bearing, I became a lifelong francophile. 

In my mind’s eye, I  can still see him driving around the campus in his old Citroen 2CV.  

I am so happy that I was able to share my thoughts with him via email a few years before his passing.

H.P. Solomon was always one of my favorite people. "Armand" as we knew him, was a neighbor of mine, as I grew up on Norwood St. in Albany. Armand was always larger than life: with exquisite taste, a flair for the absurd, and typically wrapped in a thick blue cape, beret atop his enormous head, typically with a pipe in his mouth. As a teenager I would sometimes do tasks for him; I helped remove the fence from his backyard, so that it was open to the adjacent woods.  My work was frequently interrupted by wonderful errands I would perform with him. We would go to the fishmonger's market in downtown Albany, and he would break into various tongues with whomever he met. "Ah! Professeur!!" and he would assume the natural bonhomie in Portugese, or Italian, or French, as required by circumstances. I shall always cherish my memories and my time with Arman. Godspeed to you old friend.

A supportive colleague in the French Department who expressed his thoughts and beliefs with great clarity, rode his bicycle wearing his mountain shorts in all weather, and shared his passion for language learning with so many.   A great loss.  May his memory be for a blessing.    Joan N. Savitt, Albany NY

Herman was a most remarkable person. Learned, loyal and friendly, I feel blessed to have known him ever since he got his PhD in the  Netherlands back in 1988. I am sure he will be remembered with love and affection by all who have known him. While sad now that he has passed away, I feel grateful for the memories I have of him. The grief will pass. The memories will stay.

hasta siempre Caballero
dichosos los ojos que lo vieron
y los oidos que lo escucharon
gracias por todas sus ensenanzas
y sus correciones a travez de los anos
nunca sera olvidado
