FRAMINGHAM – Stanley Berman was a loving husband, father, Zaydie, brother and caring friend. He passed away on January 1, 2022 after a courageous and long battle with kidney disease, at the age of 81.

He was born to the late Hyman and Bertha Berman on March 11, 1940 and grew up in Revere, with his sisters
Janet Pressman and the late Phyllis Berman.

Stan was a graduate of the Boston University school of engineering, working for several years in General Electric’s lighting division and later starting a second career in sales. He was also an entrepreneur, founding Stan Berman’s Photo Shop, Market Photo, and Five Limited Video. He loved to sell, and especially enjoyed the relationships that lasted decades with his coworkers and customers.

He was an avid listener of blues music, developing a great love of artists like Marcia Ball, Shemekia Copeland, and The Love Dogs. A major highlight in his life was visiting New Orleans for Jazz Fest and celebrating Mardi Gras with his second line umbrella. He also served as a drummer in the Holy Trinity Marching Band, following a lifelong passion for drum and bugle corps music.

Stan also enjoyed the hobby of building model airplanes, proudly showing off his vast collection to anyone and everyone. He was the author of the short story “The Revere Punk and the Chelsea Hebrew School Debutante”, which was met with critical acclaim from the entire family.

Stan is survived by his wife Carone, their children, Sherri Davoudgoleh and her husband Ira, Julie DoAmaral and her partner Darella Fortson, and Bob Berman and his wife Lisa. His favorite role was that of Zaydie to his grandchildren Amanda, Harrison, Goldie, Jacob, Melanie and Joshua.

Zaydie looked forward to every sporting and school event, play, recital, concert and celebration of any kind. He didn’t want to miss anything that his grandchildren did and was always so proud of them. He joyfully created adventures and experiences with them all, together and individually. They will cherish these memories.

He is also survived by his nieces Mara and Elana and cousins Lauren, David and Robin, as well as Aunt Edie and Uncle Norman Finkel and their family.

A private family service will be held graveside on Monday, January 3 at 1 p.m.
