After a short stay in Gainesville, he joined the Navy and was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida. His father and uncle, Morris and Ben Glickman, traveled to NYC from Lithuania when they were young boys. After a few years in NYC, they found their way down to Savannah, GA where Morris met and married Dora Rice, and soon after Hymie was born. In 1924, when Hymie was 6 month old, the family moved to Taylor County, Florida. His father and uncle opened a department store, "The Fair Store", which is still, 86 years later, a thriving business. His father was one of the founding members of Temple Israel in Tallahassee, and Hymie and his children were members as well. Hymie married a beautiful woman, Louise Francis Ward, from Monticello, in 1953, and had two children. He was very involved in the community and numerous charitable organizations. He was one of the original founding members of the Perry Elk Lodge, and was a member of the America Legion. He was known for his story telling, humor, kindness, and generosity. He was loved and admired by all of Taylor County.
Hymie was preceded in death by his parents Morris and Dora (Rice) Glickman; his uncle and step father Ben Glickman; a sister, Trudy; his wife, Marie (Ward) Glickman; and his son Marty Morris Glickman.
He is survived by his daughter Marsha Doll Faulkenberry; son in law Dean Faulkenberry; three granddaughters Sara Faulkenberry, Gracie Faulkenberry, Tiffany Doll; grandson Dean Faulkenberry II; and sisters Rosalie and Joan from Jacksonville.
A graveside service will be held at Oakland Cemetary near the Governors Mansion in Tallahassee today, July 18th, at 3pm. In lieu of flowers, a memorial gift may be made in Hymie's name to Temple Israel.
