On Dec. 23, Stanley Asch at 82. He is survived by wife Judy Brisson; daughter Karen and son-in-law Bill Lehr; daughter Kim Asch; and grandchildren Logan Lehr (Lyndsey Phillips), Sydney Lehr and Ezra Shamy. He also leaves his bonus family Amy and Jim Griffith, their daughter Melissa and son-in-law Justin Marlett and grandchildren Dylan, Will, Gavin and Leighton. He was predeceased by son-in-law Ed Shamy; brothers Bernie and Jerry Asch; and parents Harry and Minnie Asch. His A&H Income Tax Service has been an institution in northwest Baltimore for nearly six decades. His clients were mostly working-class people whose children and grandchildren grew up to also become clients. They appreciated his personal attention, unpretentious expertise and radically reasonable rates. Outside of this, he built a successful 30-year career with the National Security Agency, where he was division chief in the Office of Computer Security and served as Department of Defense Comptroller of Menwith Hill Station during a three-year assignment in Harrogate, England. When the opportunity came to retire at age 55, he jumped at the chance to focus on growing his tax practice.
