ROBERT LESLIE HERSH: Passed away on September 24, 2023. Beloved husband of Christine Coffer Hersh, beloved father of Jaclyn and Nathan (Sarah), beloved grandfather of Rafaela, beloved brother of Ed. Bob considered Pittsburgh his hometown, even as building a career and a family took him across the country. He completed college at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, earned his law degree in Washington, and lived for most of his life in Marin County, CA. In Marin, he built a law practice advocating for injured workers, before retiring first to Florida and then to North Carolina.

His family and close friends will miss his offbeat sense of humor and quick wit, his sharp style, and his love, which was felt strongly by those who knew him well. As a young boy growing up in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, Bobby was as precocious as he was mischievous, from selling the lunch his mother packed for him to cutting class to spend his earnings at an Italian restaurant. The stories from his youth will live on for generations. As an adult, Bob always had those close to him laughing.

Graveside service and interment will be held for family only at Beth Abraham Cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the cancer research organization of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc., family owned and operated. www.schugar.com
