A funeral isn't an
ordinary circumstance.
That's why we have
an extraordinary website.

He went on to study horticulture
at the University of Florida, where
he was a standout diver and swim-
mer, having been inducted into
the U.F. Swimming Hall of Fame.
Swimming was one of his passions,
which he continued to enjoy well
into his 79th year.
A well-rounded career and fam-
ily man, Mr. Hartman began his life
with Esther Molly Mendelson, his
wife of 54 years, when they wed in
1956. Together, they farmed toma-
toes until Jerry made his way into
the broadcasting industry in both
Florida and Puerto Rico. His part-
ner in business as in life was Esther
Molly. Together, they developed the
former tomato farm into what is
now Cypress Cove of Jupiter. Their
land development and broadcasting
pursuits complemented his career
as a financial adviser. In the 1970s
and '80s, he was recognized as the
weekend stock market reporter
for WPEC Channel 12 News. His
career in finance continued until
his retirement in 2007, at which
time he became an avid philanthro-
pist, supporting the Maltz Theater,
Temple Beth Am and Jupiter
Medical Center.
Family was always a priority for
Mr. Hartman. It was his dream that
all of his children would someday
live in Cypress Cove. He lived to see
his dream become a reality.
His daughters, Debora Hartman
and Eileen Hartman Turenne; and
his sons, Herbert Hartman, and the
late Michael Hartman, all carried
on his legacy in Cypress Cove. He
was happiest when surrounded by
his family, especially his grand-
children, Tamara and Matthew
Hartman, Kacy, Jaclyn and Michelle
Turenne.
He always spoke of how he was
blessed to be married to Esther
Molly, the love of his life. He was
predeceased by his beloved par-
ents and sister Marion. He will be
greatly missed by his surviving
sisters, Bertha Kinner and Isabel
Rosenthal, and all those whose lives
he touched.
A memorial service was held
at Temple Beth Am in Jupiter, Fla.
Contributions may be made to the
Maltz Theater, Temple Beth Am or
