Harry Rosenzweig, beloved husband, father, grandfather, artist, and educator, passed away peacefully at the age of 84 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Harry dedicated his life to the arts as both a creator and a teacher. He produced monumental works in plaster and concrete, with installations on Martha’s Vineyard, in Savannah, Ga.; Miami, Fla.; and New York City. He spent more than 25 years in art education, including more than 12 years as an associate professor at New York University and 11 years as Director of cultural programming at Montclair State University. In the 1980s, he owned the Nashua House Hotel on Martha’s Vineyard. The Vineyard was the place he cherished and proudly called home.
Harry lived with light, grace, and a spirit that touched all who knew him. He was a man of great warmth, generosity, and creativity. He is deeply missed by his wife Andrea, his son Jed and daughter-in-law Meghan, his grandchildren Lena and Lem, and his stepdaughters Melina, Micaela, and Maggie.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, August 23, at noon at his home, 145 Vineyard Ave., Oak Bluffs; casual attire.
