Beloved son, brother, father, uncle, grandparent and friend.
Son of Anna B Seidman and Bernard Bennet Abedon. Herbert was the oldest of two brothers. He was born in Providence, RI where he lived much of his life. He went to Hope high school, graduated Harvard University as an undergraduate and University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Herbert had an abiding love for his three sons, sharing in their triumphs and challenges.
Outside his family, Herbert's most enduring love was for classical music. During the summers, he would spend every possible moment at Tanglewood Music Festival in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. Here he shared the love and joy of music with his family and friends. He could often be found mock conducting the orchestra during and between performances. He was an avid traveler and relished finding wonderful music in various corners of the world. He was extremely well read and enjoyed a lively discussion.
Herbert leaves behind a much loved brother, Richard; two loving sons, Robert and Stephen; and four adored grandchildren, Yehuda, Mali, Rivka, and Lillian. Sadly, he was preceded in death by his son, Jon.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, February 10th at 2pm eastern time and will take place at Lincoln Park cemetery in Warwick, RI.
