Harry Stanley Lieberman

Dec 18, 1926 - Mar 31, 2021

Harry Stanley Lieberman passed away peacefully on March 31, 2021. He was 94 years young. He was a loving husband and father who always put family and friends above all else. As a lifelong educator and learner he never hesitated to help others, to teach others, and to discover the joy in new things.

His lifetime achievements include being a member of the Sons in Retirement, Commodore of the Golden Gate Yacht Club in 1962 and achieving the rank of Master of the Free and Accepted Masons, Phoenix Lodge #144. He was a teacher and counselor in the San Francisco Unified School District for over 30 years.

Throughout his life, he prioritized being there for his family: physically, emotionally, intellectually, financially, and every other way. This dedication was evidenced by his enthusiastic support of all family endeavors and presence at numerous quilt shows, little league games, band concerts, bike races, photography exhibits, and robot competitions to name a few. At each event, Harry was fully present and genuinely interested and deeply proud of his family. Around the house, he enjoyed tinkering and fixing things, especially when he could engage his children and grandchildren in the projects.

He remained a loyal fan of the Giants, 49ers, and Warriors, and enjoyed watching the games with family.

Harry is survived by his wife of 60 years, Caroline, and their sons, Andrew (wife Tomasa and two children, Lisa and Stan) and Norman (wife Jen and two children, Jayna and Nathan).

The family thanks Harry’s dedicated caregivers (Junior, Noel, Jonathan, and Ben) for their years of support and Home Sweet Home Assisted Living and Heartland Hospice for making Harry’s final months as comfortable as possible. An inurnment service was held at Congregation Sherith Israel, Hills of Eternity Memorial Park on Sunday April 4 for immediate family. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Sierra Club (Harry was a lifetime member) or another pro-environment organization in the name of Harry Lieberman.
