Visitors & Flowers

She was born 11/11/1933 to Bertine Sloan Smith and Eldon Lawrence Smith. She had 3 sisters and two brothers.

She graduated from Warren High School in 1951.

She was married for 7 years to Ronnie Boomershine and 2 years to Donald Louis Lau. Of the second marriage, she had two children, Kathryn Ann, born 1962 and William Curtis, born 1963.

She worked as a waitress and cook at the truck stop in Warren, IN for many years and worked for 8 1/2 years in the 70s to early 80’s at Corning Glass Works in Bluffton, IN.

Her passion was crocheting, which she was proficient at even when her eyesight started failing.

She was diagnosed with liver cancer in April, 2000 and died 8/7/00 of it, 3 days before my son’s 7th birthday, but she left behind a M & M’s minis container of quarters for him to celebrate it with one of her friends.

Although she did not have much and lived on disability for over 10 years, she always had something special for her grandson, Kyle, whether it be a goody out of cereal box, a few pieces of candy in an old peanut butter jar, or a cutout from a picture of a magazine. Much to my chagrin, she always let him bang on all her pots and pans and build a fort out of her cat food cans (she was known as the “cat lady”…she had usually 5 to 25 cats at any one time that she fed).

She was adamant about not being buried and wanted to be cremated and did not want people viewing her body and being sad, so when she did pass, instead of a showing, we had pictures of her with her grandchildren and of my brother and I when we were young, artwork she had done in her teens, and a wide array of her wonderful crotchet work.
As she requested, her ashes were scattered over her grandmother’s grave (Violet Sloan, who died of breast cancer when she was very young) and instead of a grave stone, had a memorial brick made up at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo in Fort Wayne, IN in front of a bench near a “frog pond” where children frolic and play all summer. She would have loved that.

God bless, you, Mom!

HE ALWAYS SAID, “I’M GOING TO HEAVEN!”

Welcome…in loving memory of John, a beautiful person doing the Lord’s work by helping others to understand Christianity. John was a missionary with the Calvary Church in Santa Ana, California. He went to Germany to help build stables, he went to Mexico and also walked the streets of Los Angeles to speak of his experience of what the Lord has done in his life and what he can do in their life. In doing this John has touched many lives all over the world and sustained friendships with all. John Lara was twenty years old. He had accomplished great things in the time that he shared with us here. He participated in athletics; he loved shooting hoops and track. He and his sweetheart, Kirsten brought a beautiful baby girl into this world. He would ask for a hug from his Dad for no reason, except to let my Dad know — “I appreciate you” He loved to play the guitar, play paintball games, hiking, camping and genealogy. My brother was awesome! He was always kind and loving and there for me when I needed him. John has made an impact on many people all over the world. And he is still making an impact on us now. John was murdered on September 24, 1996 in Bayfield, Colorado along with two of his life long friends and roommates. John moved to Bayfield a month before his death to start a group to help young adults at the Calvary Chapel there in Bayfield. We have set up a fund in memory of MY BROTHER. This fund is used to send teenagers on missions around the world, John, I’m sure, would have gone on every single mission if he had the money to do so. Please call or write to Calvary Church, 1010 N. Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, California 92705. The phone number is 714-973-4800-Teen Ministry.

Hyman Korman

December 10. 1995

Beloved husband to Goldie

Father to Joseph and Leah

Father in law to Laurie

Grandfather to Seth, Michael and Miriam.

On the day that New York City honored Mr. Rabin of Israel, another man was honored in Brooklyn.

My father was the youngest of nine children and the last to pass on. He grew up in an Orthodox home where he studied the Torah (Bible) with his older brothers. I remember walking with him on the high holidays from our house to his father’s shul on Watkins Ave in Brooklyn. There, all of my cousins would get into trouble talking during the services.

I didn’t realize how much he knew about the prayer rituals until I started attending the services with him at Temple Beth Abraham in Coney Island. After he retired from work, he devoted much of his time to the Temple. He was one of the first members to arrive and one of the last to leave at each of the daily services. He and my uncle were responsible for insuring that the Torah was turned to the correct portion and that any special rules for a particular day were observed.

Those who spoke of him at today’s service had only the best of words for him. The Rabbi called him a gentleman and a gentle man. Another pointed out how well (and fast) he was able to read the Hebrew prayers, but yet, never missed a word. He was always ready to help anyone in need. One of his ‘jobs’ at Temple was to say Kadish (memorial prayer) for loved ones of members of the Temple.

He was a hard working man, who had a varied career.

• Soda Jerk at his brother-in-laws candy store. (He made a mean chocolate malt).
• Gateman for the Long Island Railroad. In the days before automatic crossing signals, he cranked the gates down when a train was due and raised them when it was safe for autos to cross the tracks.
• Train Conductor for the NY City Transit.
• Mechanic on the machines that knit sweaters (member of ILGWU).

He spent many of his working years on the night shift, which gave me more time to see him. He would get home when my sister and I were getting up for school. He would sleep during the day and would be up with us for dinner and evening TV before he would go to work and we would go to sleep.

He retired from the ILGWU work in 1985.

His love of his family was always obvious. He always had time the play with my cousins while I was growing up and with my children and nephew when they came along. He would not allow my mother to do any chores (she worked through most of my childhood too). As a result he did everything except cook (that he allowed mom to do).

Hyman Korman, you are sorely missed by not only your family, but by your friends at Temple Beth Abraham.

Rest in Peace, Daddy.

Hyman Korman is the father of the Son-in-law of, Isadore Silverman.

Your presence lightened up the room, To see you happy made us glad. Your funny ways made us cry with laughter. To see you down made us sad. Your masculine ways made us feel – over protected. To have you as our son/brother, we were never neglected Your touch was that of a cuddly teddy bear to have you around, we had nothing to fear. Now all we have left are the wonderful memories of you and we know that your spirit is watching over us too. So we will remember you as the strong person you were, and keep you in our hearts as our loving Dustin.

Always, Mom, Nikki and Dana.
