I knew Phil when I lived and taught in Milford, Pa. He had so much talent and when I moved to Texas I lost touch with him. I was just looking at a piece of pottery and remembered it was his, so I looked him up. Then I found this. Wow. So sad. He was an amazing talented man.

One of my best friends at HHS and Wilburs Country Store where he has a pottery shop. His "Hirlemann Blue" was famous. So many stories are flashing back. Xmas shopping in the Mustang, budweisers after school, his taking me into his house in Blairstown when I was down, ski trips, and so many more. Will really miss you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I also had Mr. H all four years(loved him) in HHS 80-84. He was a great guy and a better friend and teacher. To this day my kids think I majored in photography, silk screening and pottery. Still have some of the work we did, he even put his awesome work in my year book!

Phil was a very giving person and never once turned down a request from someone. He would always find a way to do what was requested. He helped me many times while working in Hopatcong and I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. May God Bless you Phil and since you did such beautiful photos of my parents and in-laws, I hope you get to meet them, along with my daughter and son-in-law who both passed 1 1/2 years ago. I spoke of you often to all of them and the wonderful job you did of photos for them.

My friendship with Phil started way back in 1981 when I was a freshman at Hopatcong High school. During my years in school, he was the best teacher I have ever known. He had a gift for seeing the talent in a kid and then giving the kid the confidence to see it for themselves. I took every art class available just to learn from him. After I graduated, I moved to the west coast, but we kept in touch and he had been a mentor to me all these years. I am shattered to learn of his passing. My heart goes out to his family. You have lost an amazing soul who touched so many lives, and enriched every single one. I will never forget him. Peace, love and light to you all.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I am one of the many fortunate people to have known Phil. I worked with him at the high school, and he made me smile each day. I advised the literary magazine, and Phil went out of his way to help me by giving me artwork and photos to publish. I was a new teacher - and Phil helped me learn the ropes. So, I can only say that Phil was there for me, for the students, for his friends, and most importantly, for his family. God bless you. Phil was one in a million! Rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of mr hirlemann's passing. I took his photography class my senior year of high school and he was just the kindest teacher. I learned so much from him and was able to get a summer job as a photographer the following year and have kept with me many of the things I learned from him. He made a real impact on me, and I'm sure many other students. I am truly sorry for your loss, he was a great teacher.

My condolences to the Hirlemann family on their loss. Mr. Hirlemann was my high school photography teacher and although I was never a good or great student Mr. H always made me feel a sense of pride in the work I did in his class. Beyond the classroom Mr. H spent a lot of his time mentoring his students on life and sharing stories of Asbury Park and South Jersey when they were cool; you know back in his day. He was and always will be a loving, caring, selfless man who cared for others around him even when he wasn’t at his best. Mr. H you will be sorely missed, THANK YOU for the memories and the talks!

He was what all teachers should aspire to be. Best teacher I've ever had. He made showing up for class worth it! He instilled in me a love for the craft of pottery. My best memories of high school were in his class. I was lucky to have him 2 periods in a row! He even let me come back to class after I graduated college and work on my portfolio for grad school. I loved that he still had our pictures from class of 1997 up and it was 2003! RiP Hirl, you were a legend and your students thought you were a hero! Xoxoxo!
