BURT RESNICK Obituary

RESNICK--Burt. The Realty Advisory Board on Labor Relations family mourns the passing of our friend and former Board Member whose longtime commitment to the real estate industry helped shape the city into what it is today. Burt was a true New York legend. He proved his mettle starting at his fathers firm in 1928 during the Great Depression. He took the helm in the 1960s to help Jack Resnick and Sons to become one of the most prolific builders of skyscrapers in Manhattan. He served as co-chairman of the Real Estate Council of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, campaign chairman of the UJA-Federation New York and as trustee and vice chairman of Carnegie Hall. We send our deepest condolences to his wife Judith their three sons Jonathan, Scott and Peter and their wives, his sister and brother-in-law, Marilyn and Stanley M. Katz, his brother and sister-in-law, Ira M. and Paula Resnick and nine grandchildren. Our condolences. John Santora-Chairman, and Howard Rothschild-President

Dear Judith, Scott, Jonathan, and Peter:
It is with my deepest heartfelt sympathy that I express my condolences for the loss of our dear Burt. He was a true ally in so many of the difficult projects he and my husband Dom successfully completed together over the years. Dom often said that without Burt, Albert Einstein would not have become the center of excellence that it is now widely recognized to be. Burt was a true friend and did so much for our family that we feel that we too have lost a family member. With much love, Florence.
