Age is
Just a Number
for Lloyd Remick
I Jon Marks
n contrast to the words of Richard Nixon, it looks like
we will have 85-year-old sports and entertainment
lawyer Lloyd Remick to kick around a little longer.

Having seen what retirement can do to people, he’s in no
hurry to join them.

“I have witnessed many of my contemporaries retire,
including a number of celebrities,” said the man instru-
mental in legendary late saxophonist Grover Washington’s
career and a representative for many athletes and radio and
TV personalities. “What I’ve found is when people retire,
they love the fi rst couple of weeks.

“They get to sleep late, but then get into a depression. I
have found most people who are totally depressed are not
still working. I fi nd having social settings, reading contracts
every day and solving people’s problems keep you alert.

There are those who think for 85 I’m pretty sharp. I still know
how to read a contract pretty well.”
Remick just can’t hobnob with the elite anymore like he
did for years. Back then, it was nothing for him to jump on a
plane at a moment’s notice and fl y to Hollywood, Las Vegas
or even Europe. Then, on his way back, he’d stop in New
York for a show or concert and party at Studio 54 afterward
before heading home.
