Herman H. Hirsh

Herman Hymie Hirsh, to many “HH”, died on Wednesday August 1, 2012 at the VA Hospital of Dallas Texas. There he had been cared for by so many dedicated individuals over the last 6 weeks. The family thanks you! HH was a remarkable man. Born in Los Angeles, CA, he left at the age of 17 for Texas where he arrived with little education but a dream of succeeding at anything he put his mind to. Every job he took, no matter the role, he accepted with ambition. A self-made entrepreneur, HH designed and manufactured fireplaces with Desert Ray which later led to the stainless steel industry, and then to owning and operating Hi-Tech Stainless Steel Specialties. He retired at the age of 90. He found many rewards within this business. HH was most proud to design and build a stainless steel cover for a book written by Stephen King, My Red Pony. Only 1000 were made world wide and he was acknowledged in the New Yorker. Another tribute was designing and manufacturing a replica of the Dallas Police Department Badge which hangs on the Dallas Police head quarters building in downtown Dallas. Lastly, an honor of fabricating much of the stainless steel found at the Ball Park in Arlington. His name is incorporated into the landscape of the ballpark itself as one of the main contributors in building such an iconic structure. HH is survived by so many that loved him. His wife, Lee Hirsh along with son David Hirsh, his wife Lesli and daughter Harper. His daughter Jolie Powell, her husband Brandon along with their children Jackson, Hudson & Evangeline. His son, Mike Hirsh, his wife Stevie and their children Leslie and Brian and lastly his cousin Rose August. The Funeral Service will be held for immediate family at the Dallas Ft.
