Not sure what to say?

Dan´s commitment to children in need was profound. He served as a Trustee on the Board of Trustees at The Jewish Child Care Association of New York eventually becoming President of the Board at JCCA. As a young manager I frequently looked to Dan for guidance and direction. His wisdom and encouragement was always so affirming and helpful. His leadership touched the lives of countless children and staff. Dan´s compassion and wisdom will be missed. It was my good fortune to have had the...

May his memory be a blessing. As a court reporter at the Southern District of New York, I did freelance work and covered depositions for Dan for years. We were buddies. He was terrific.

Miss our conversations and good counsel.

I worked for Mr. Pollack for 25 years. I learned a lot from him. He will be missed.

god rest!

A most brilliant attorney who was dedicated to his clients....Dan always selected fine wines, offered good advice on art and on a rare occasion broke 90 on the golf course. My wife Maureen and I will miss him. His clients will surely miss his superb counsel.

I have distinct recollection of meeting several of the Brooklyn Dodgers as his father was the attorney for the organization. Although I haven't seen him since Poly I am deeply saddened by his loss. I send my best to his family. God bless you.

Alas, the deal was never made and his reputation remains intact. His family has the rich legacy of his love and the sparse consolation that he leaves a contrail of admirers, confederates and comrades.

"Sudden" is the word - I was speaking with Dan a few months back. Dan was a vibrant man and a good friend, always in communication with his High School classmates at Poly Prep, including me. We were talking about his coming to San Diego.

Fraternally - and RIP
