Harvey B. Gershman of Waltham passed away on Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 77 years of age. He was the middle son of the late Irving Gershman & Anne (Chorney). The family moved to Brockton where Harvey grew up. Harvey was the beloved husband of Bonnie Gershman. He was the father of Barry Gershman and his wife Kimberley of Florida and Michael Snyder and his wife Nikki of Rhode Island. He was the cherished grandfather of Erin Gershman, Abigail and Grace Snyder and great-grandfather of Elijah, Jayla, and Eliana. He was the brother of Joel Tattlebaum of Pennsylvania and the late Edward Gershman. He was the brother-in-law of Wayne Gerber and his wife Kim of Colorado and Howard Gerber and his wife Mary of Dedham. Harvey was an avid golfer and taught Bonnie and Michael to play the game. His passion for golf was so much a part of who he was, that every vacation destination Harvey planned, had to have a golf course so he and Bonnie could pursue their passion for the game.

Shiva will be at his late residence following the service on Monday through 8pm. Continuing Tuesday from 1pm to 4pm and 6:30pm to 8:30pm and Wednesday from 1pm to 4pm.
