A RESOLUTION OF
ABRAMSON SENIOR CARE
The Board of Trustees of Abramson Senior Care record with sorrow the
passing of their esteemed colleague and friend
Lawrence J. Pollock
whose commitment to philanthropy benefited the seniors served by
Abramson, and whose life serves as an example of kindness and generosity
to the entire community.
Mr. Pollock’s involvement with Abramson Senior Care began with a
generous donation to the Capital Campaign which helped enable the
construction of the Madlyn and Leonard Abramson Center for Jewish Life,
Abramson Senior Care’s state-of-the-art campus in Horsham. Soon after,
he joined the Board of Trustees in 2003. During his time on the Board, he
served on the Quality of Care and Resident Life Committee, furthering his
commitment to the organization’s mission of enhancing the lives of seniors
and their caregivers. His dedicated support of the Annual Fund has ensured
that Abramson will be able to provide seniors throughout Philadelphia with
essential programs and services.
Abramson Senior Care and our entire Jewish community were truly
fortunate to have been the beneficiary of Mr. Pollock’s time, leadership and
enduring tzedakah.
To his children Jackie (David) Kane, Debbi (Howard) Lindenberg, and
David Pollock; his grandchildren; and all who mourn his passing, the Board
of Trustees of Abramson Senior Care offer this expression of profound sympathy.
May they find solace in the knowledge that his dedication, generosity and
good works will serve as a living tribute to him and will benefit future
generations. Carol A. Irvine
