Robert Pollock Obituary

NEW YOUR, NY -- Robert Michael "Mickey" Pollock, 82, of New York, NY, formerly of Spencerville, passed away on Friday, February 6, 2026 at New York Presbyterian Hospital, NY.

Mickey was born on August 4, 1943 in Van Wert County, OH to the late John Dale and Pearl (Winans) Pollock. He was a graduate of Spencerville High School in 1961 and after graduation, he started his life in Toledo, OH as an interior decorator, then to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands as a bank auditor. After St. Thomas, he moved to Minneapolis, MN where he installed insulation in homes before making his way to New York where he was a licensed realtor. In between his different careers and travels, Robert attended and graduated with a bachelors degree from Brown University.

Longsworth of New York; three siblings, Gary (Loretta) Pollock of Glenco, MN, John Pollock of Gardner, KS, and Debra DeLano of Ocala, FL; one sister-in-law, Cathy Pollock; and many nieces and nephews.
