Our familys rock and pillar of strength succumbed to his ailing health resulting from an initial fall in January of this year, after having lived his long and fruitful life without any major illnesses. Ron, son of Ronald Pollett, a well-known Newfoundland folklore writer, and Caroline Gilbert, was born and grew up in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, New York, proudly served with distinction in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, and held a series of leadership positions at RCA Global Communications during a 40+ year career in New York, retiring in 1986.
