LEONARD LAUDER Obituary

LAUDER--Leonard A. The Board of Trustees and staff of the Jewish Museum mourn the passing of Leonard A. Lauder, a visionary philanthropist, devoted supporter of the arts, and beloved friend. Leonard leaves a legacy of elegance and grace and generosity of spirit that will forever inspire our work and the work of many others across the cultural landscape, and his memory will surely be a blessing for a long time to come. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife, Judy Glickman Lauder, his sons William and Gary, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I only met Leonard once and he inspires me to this day. A warm, friendly and genuine man, the kind you so rarely find today. May God bless and send his graces to the Lauder family where he will be missed.
