Solomon Isaac Hirsh

Solomon Isaac Hirsh, 71, passed away peacefully at his home in Macon, Georgia, surrounded by his loving family on October 21, 2026.

Sol was born on August 4, 1955, to the late Milton Hirsh and Sarah Vickers Hirsh of Macon. A lifelong resident of the area, he graduated from Mark Smith High School (now Northeast High School) in 1973 and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Mercer University in 1979.

For more than four decades, Sol was a familiar and well-known presence in Warner Robins, Georgia. Alongside his late father and late brother, he co-owned and operated Aluminum Recycling of Warner Robins on North Davis Drive, a longstanding family business that served the local community.

Sol had an easygoing personality and a lighthearted approach to life. He cherished summer vacations with his family, his regular swims in the pool, and spending time with his beloved dogs, Sandy, Maurice, and Jessie. A lifelong member of Congregation Sha’arey Israel, Sol was a devoted family man who took pride in supporting his wife and children in their educational and professional pursuits. His family was always at the center of his world.

Sol is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Francine Potosky Hirsh; his daughter, Shannon, of Macon, Georgia; and his son, Seth, of Redwood City, California. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Jan Hirsh; his nieces, Lisa Lazar, Amy Petraglia, and Haley Hirsh; his nephews, Gary Lazar and Hamilton Hirsh; and his great-nieces, Samantha and Marissa Petraglia.

In addition to his parents, Sol was preceded in death by his brother, Alvin Hirsh; his sister-in-law, Renee Lazar; and his parents-in-law, Morris and Norma Potosky.

The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to Eternal Faith Hospice and Home Instead for the compassionate care and support they provided to Sol and his family during his illness.

Funeral services will be held in the old section of Congregation Sha’arey Israel at Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, Georgia, on Sunday, October 25, at 3 p.m. Services will be officiated by Rabbi Aaron Rubinstein.
