Dr. Arthur Sherman - April 12, 1940 - December 12, 2023

Departed: 12/12/2023 (Fort Lee)
Obituary Preview: Arthur Sherman – Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Arthur Sherman, MD (aka Devabodhi). He passed peacefully on Tuesday, December 12, 2023.
Art was a gentle soft soul, who was brilliant. He lived in both the worlds of science and spirituality. He loved his books as much as he loved nature and the natural world. He loved hiking and camping, with a great love for Acadia National Park and the Canadian Rockies. He trekked the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal some years ago. He loved classical music as he equally loved folk music. He played both the guitar and banjo. He found joy in his beloved Yankees and the New York Giants, not to mention the pleasure he derived from his “wonder dog”, Sky. He had an intense connection to theater, and was a superb actor both in Community Theater and off-Broadway. He became a talented woodworker (self-taught) who built much of the furniture in his Woodstock home. We cannot forget to mention his total immersion and expertise in doing the New York Times crossword puzzles. He was a “Renaissance Man”.
As a friend shared, “His great wisdom was always wrapped in a profound humility that to me was always a sure sign and shining expression of his awakened heart”. He had a beautiful loving heart, and a witty and hilarious sense of humor. Another close friend describes him as totally non-judgmental, caring and always willing to help both emotionally and physically.
He was also a family man. He and his wife, Ritambhara, would regularly hike and walk together, and sit together in meditation. He loved his time with his daughter, Rebecca, often in deep conversation about science, the world and spirituality. He equally loved watching sports and going to Yankee stadium with his son, Jeremy and daughter-in-law Carol. He was so proud of his granddaughter, Madison, who is an extraordinarily skilled fashion designer. Lastly, he would love to cuddle his two year old granddaughter, Haeva, and sing to her.
Art maintained a private practice in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in both Kingston and Woodstock, New York for over 40 years. His work with patients was always deep and genuine and heart-felt. He loved his work; he loved working with people to heal their wounds and deepen their essential selves. He was a healer in the true sense of the word.
He was also on his own spiritual Journey. As a follower of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, he lived in India for 3 years. He then moved to Woodstock, New York to be a part of the spiritual community there.
In recent years, he was deeply connected to the non-dual teachings of Rupert Spira, Adyashanti and Eckhardt Tolle. He was grateful, again, to be connected with two wonderful spiritual communities. These groups, and the people in them, brought him great joy.
He is survived by his wife, Laurie (aka Ritambhara); his daughter Rebecca; his son, Jeremy; his daughter-in-law, Carol; his granddaughters Madison and Haeva; his two nieces, Melanie and Paula.
He was deeply loved.
May he rest in peace.
May his memory be a blessing.

Anne was always involved with numerous charities and gave of her time as well; she read for the blind on WNYC radio ( PBS ) for many years.
In 2017 she founded the S. Irving Sherr and Anne J. Nevard Foundation and has personally supported more causes than can be listed here.
She loved to travel, read and entertain. She had a particular fondness for old Sherlock Holmes/Basil Rathbone movies and Neil Diamond. She also loved classical music as well as many other genres of music. She had a passion for crossword puzzles, cooking and just being with the people she loved.
Her love, support, kindness and generosity will be sorely missed.
We were blessed to have had her as long as we did. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, in-law, cousin and friend.
In addition to her home in Manhattan, Anne resided in Malverne LINY for 20 years, Westfield NJ for 40 years as well as spending time in Montecito, CA and Sarasota, FL.

Renee Pitchon - May 17, 1947 - November 03, 2023

Departed: 11/03/2023 (Fort Lee)
Obituary Preview: Renée Carol Pitchon (May 17,1947-November 3, 2023) died peacefully on Friday surrounded by her family. Renée fought a short but courageous battle with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer over the last few weeks. She was an unstoppable and vivacious force to everyone who knew her. She was a devoted daughter, a steadfast sister, an exceptional aunt, a phenomenal great-aunt, a loyal sister-in-law, a friend, a teacher, a confidant as well as an incredibly generous human.
Born and raised in The Bronx, Renée was a teacher in the New York City Public School System for over 30 years, the impact she had on her students and colleagues was widely felt. She took great joy in her profession and continued it after retirement in helping foster the love of learning with her great niece and nephew.
Known as Neenie to almost all that knew her- a nickname given to her by her niece Jenna at a young age. She became everyone's favorite aunt. Known for her honest opinions, her generosity, huge heart, and ability to tell it how it was- those who knew Renée were lucky. Neenie became a larger-than-life figure in everyone's life.
She will be remembered for her love of Amazon ordering, shopping, a tidy and clean home, her cooking, her humor, her independence, love of HGTV, Food Network and British TV Shows as well as her sense of responsibility to those around her. She was one of the most genuine and generous individuals and always looked out for those around her.
Renée was a devoted sister to Maureen and cared for her to the very end. Her love for her sister was unwavering and was something to behold. Their relationship was the perfect example to set for her great niece and nephew, McKayla and Jack. As for her relationship with her niece Jenna, it was a special and unique bond. It was a bond greater than aunt and niece. Her relationship with Jenna was absolutely one of a kind. She was more than an aunt; she was another mother figure in Jenna’s life. Renée cared deeply for Jenna’s husband, Andy, and their friendship and relationship was magical. They were two peas in a pod. As a sister-in-law to John for nearly 50 years, they had a special friendship and relationship that was beautiful to witness. John stepped in the last 6 weeks to help care for Renée as only a brother could.
Predeceased by her sister, Maureen Pitchon Palmquist in October 2022 and her parents, Martha Pitchon and Jack Pitchon. Renee is survived by her niece, Jenna Stein and husband Andy Stein, great-niece and nephew, Jack and McKayla Stein, brother-in-law John Palmquist and numerous friends and family.
