OBITUARY
Sherwin I. Pogrund
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sherwin I Pogrund, husband of the late Toby Pogrund, father of David (Cindy) Pogrund and Debra (Jessica) Pogrund-Stark. Grandfather of Michael (Sarah), Brian (Hannah), Naomi (Adam), Emily (Chaim), Zack, and Lev. Great-grandfather of Kira, Eitan, Ellie, Sylvie, Julian, Liam and Max.
In 1957, Sherwin co-founded the Stone, Pogrund & Korey law firm, using his sharp problem-solving skills to help countless individuals. His generosity and devotion extended far beyond his professional life; he was deeply committed to Israel and generously donated numerous ambulances to Magen David Adom, ensuring vital support for those in need. A pillar of both the Jewish and legal communities, he inspired those around him with his wisdom and unwavering support. A devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, his presence brought joy and comfort to family and friends, and a guiding light to many.
