“He was a mensch in every sense of the word.” That’s how Marc B. Terrill, president and CEO of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore, sums up the life and character of Samuel K. Himmelrich Sr.
A prominent commercial real estate developer, philanthropist, Jewish community leader, patron of the arts and businessman, Himmelrich died on Oct. 11, two days before his 90th birthday.
A North Baltimore resident who previously lived in Pikesville, Himmelrich was the developer and founder of Himmelrich Associates Inc., a 34-year-old local real estate firm that specializes in the renovation of industrial properties for office and retail usage. Among the properties owned and operated by Himmelrich Associates is Meadow Mill in Woodberry, Montgomery Park Business Center in South Baltimore, the Parker Metal Building near Federal Hill and Mt. Washington Mill.
