Services Held for Murray Wasserman

Services were held this week for Murray Wasserman, a World War II veteran who died Sunday.

Wasserman, who was 87, served on the U.S. Navy battleship New Jersey.

Services were conducted Monday at Riverside- Nassau North Chapels interment at the Beth Moses Cemetery in Pinelawn. Shiva was observed at the home of a relative in Great Neck.

He was married to the late Elise Wasserman and was a father, grandfather and uncle.

"The members of the USS New Jersey Veterans Association are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of our shipmate, Murray. We join with so many others who knew Murray in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a wonderfully productive life," the association noted on a memorial website.
