Hurwitz, Errol

Cranston

Errol Hurwitz, 84, formerly of Cranston, RI and most recently Wellington Fl, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. Errol was born in Providence RI June 6th 1942. He was the son of the late Fanny (Phillips) and Charles Hurwitz.

Errol was a graduate of Hope High School and was a self-made entrepreneur who built his business from the ground up, selling tools to mechanics throughout his career. Through hard work, determination, and the relationships he developed along the way, he established a business he could be proud of. Known to friends and customers alike as “EH” he was remembered not only for his successful business, but for his wonderful sense of humor and love of laughter.

Errol was a man of a different generation. He preferred the personal touch over technology, never quite embracing computers or texting.

He believed deeply in the value of spending time with his family. The everyday moments, conversations and time spent together were what mattered most. His family and friends will cherish the memories they made with him and the special place he will always hold in their lives. Errol was surrounded by lots of love during his final year battling vascular dementia.

Errol is survived by his beloved wife Ruth Hurwitz, and his son Steven Hurwitz and his wife Barbra; his daughter Lisa Lepine and her husband, Alan; his grandchildren Jake Bonn and his wife Cayla; Julia Cowman and her husband Rory; grandson Jason Hurwitz, and granddaughter Stacey Hurwitz. His nephew David Grover. He was predeceased by his sister Rhoda Grover and his beloved grandson Dylan Bonn.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at Shalom Memorial Chapel, 1100 New London Avenue, Cranston, RI 02920.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly request that donations be made in Errol’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association and the American Heart Association. These organizations support causes that are meaningful to our family, and contributions made in his honor would be deeply appreciated.
