Kenneth POLLACK Obituary

POLLACK, Kenneth Robert

Kenneth Robert Pollack, 77, a successful businessman, entrepreneur and beloved patriarch, died peacefully January 12, 2015, at his home in Charlotte, N.C., surrounded by his family. Born and raised in Bayonne, N.J., Kenneth learned the value of hard work and customer service at his father Sidney's well-known gas and service station. Following high school, Kenneth enlisted in the Army, where he served for two years as a medic. He returned to complete his BA at Jersey City State College, where he met the love of his life, Hinda Chasis, his wife of 52 years. Soon after the birth of his children, Kenneth entered into a business partnership with his brother-in-law, David A. Chasis. He served for the next 10 years as sales manager of the venture, which became one of the largest plastic piping distributorships in the country. Deciding to run a business on his own, Kenneth moved the family to Rutland, Vt., where he purchased the auto dealership that became Pollack Pontiac and Cadillac. In Vermont, Kenneth and Hinda raised their children and became involved as leaders in the community with Kenneth taking active roles in the Shriners organization. He subsequently moved to Charlotte, where he owned and operated the business ventures Carolina Plastic Supplies and, with partner Al Stevens, Vending Management Services. An avid golfer, he retired to Hobe Sound, Fla., where he volunteered his time in mediation services and on the board of Hobe Sound Golf Club. A very joyful and decent man has left our midst and will be greatly missed by his loving family and many friends. Survivors include his wife Hinda, brother David, children Rayne Guilford and husband Matthew; Noah Pollack and wife Bina; Micah Pollack and wife Sara Wildberger; niece Hara Cootes and husband Corky; niece Rebecca Nixon and husband Chris; and grandchildren Zachary, Nathan, Kyle, Sydney, Jenni, Asa, Vivianne, Cory and Dylan. A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, February 21st, at 1:00 PM at the Hobe Sound Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla. Donations may be made in his name to Shriners Hospital for Children or to Carolina Hospice and Palliative Care. www.shrinershospitalforchildren.org https://hpccr.thankyou4caring.org/
