Obituary for Michael M. Slonim
On November 9th, Michael Martin Slonim, loving spouse, father, brother, and grandfather, passed away at the age of 84.
Michael was born and raised in Queens, New York. He graduated from City College of New York and New York University School of Law. In 1964 he married Harriet Herberg, also of Queens. They and their daughter, Donna, moved to Teaneck, New Jersey in 1972.
Michael worked as an account executive in brokerage offices for several years but then became a certified public accountant, rising to the roles of senior partner and president at Albert J Hasson and Company of Manhattan and Hackensack, N.J.
