A Sad Goodbye

in Uncategorized

This afternoon we said goodbye to one of DC’s most revered men. Abe Pollin shaped most of the Washington sports scene, as former owner of the Capitals, owner of the Washington Wizards and Chair of the Washington Sports & Entertainment Commission. Today at his home, Pollin passed away, leaving his wife Irene and two sons. He was 85.

Though ill for many years, Pollin was generous with his time and money for philanthropic causes – relating to his many interests in and around the city – but may best be remembered and credited for his redevelopment of the Chinatown area when he built the Verizon Center (we hear he said this was his greatest accomplishment as well…).

He leaves a legacy of leadership and service.
