hen Herb Kaufman's daughters Ilene and Patty were old enough to type, they
hand typed yahrzeit notices and envelopes on an IBM Selectric typewriter.
Knowing Ira Kaufman's great grandson Chad and great granddaughter Stephanie were
monitoring the chapel's Web site and answering e-mail inquires, we don't have to imagine
the smile on Ira's face, we just look
at Grandpa Herbie.

L.A. Sheriff
Sherman Block, 74, of Los Ange-
les, died Oct. 29. Mr. Block was
the first Jewish sheriff in the 148-
year history of Los Angeles Coun-
ty. For 16 years, as head of the
nation's largest county law enforce-
ment agency, with 12,400 employ-
ees, Block was also the highest
paid elected official in the United
States, with an annual salary of
$234,000.
Born in Chicago into a closely
knit Orthodox family, Block
recalled in an interview that "noth-
ing trefe ever came into our house.
I remember every year bringing up
the dishes from our basement to
make them" kosher for Passover.
His grandparents on both sides
were immigrants from Eastern
Europe.
After World War II, the future
sheriff opened Block's Kosher
Kitchen on Chicago's South Side.
After the business failed, due to
overexpansion, Block moved to
Los Angeles. As "the best deli
counterman in the business," he
quickly found work at the land-
mark Canter's Deli on Fairfax
Avenue. But an old longing to
become a law enforcement officer
reasserted itself and at age 32 he
applied for a job as deputy sheriff
trainee. He quickly rose through
the ranks and was elected sheriff in r
1982. He won three subsequent
re-elections handily, but was
locked into a tight race for a fifth
term when he died.
A medium-sized man, bald and
with a tendency toward plumpness,
Block did not fit the Hollywood
image of the lean, drawling, steely
eyed Western sheriff, but he was an
able administrator, whose populari-
ty extended across the political
spectrum. Block considered himself
as a role model, which, he said in
an earlier interview, might encour-
age other Jews to wear a law
enforcement officer's uniform.
