Obituary of Leslie Pollack
1933-2017
Leslie Pollack died peacefully in his home in Bedford after a long complex illness. His integrity, generosity, and loyalty are his legacy for his wife, Yvonne, his children, Jonathan Pollack, Jennifer Reiner, and Fredrica Ford and his grandchildren, Annie, Gabriel, Joseph, Samuel, Michael, Hank, Abraham, and Scarlett. He was an active leader in Jewish, humanitarian, and artistic causes. After Harvard Business School, his long career in Wall Street was dedicated to the financial well- being of his clients. He made his mark writing a weekly newsletter as head of research and became the director of Shearson Management and then a partner at Neuberger Berman. Leslie’s passion was as a competitive tennis player; his tennis skills spanned junior ranking to the Yale tennis team and onto senior tennis, winning a national USTA gold ball for father and daughter tennis. His dry sense of humor and way with words will leave his family and friends smiling.
Service will be at Clark Associates Funeral Home, 4 Woods Bridge Road, Katonah, NY on Sunday April 16 at noon.
