Leo Salon

Beloved husband to Ellin Salon and prior to that to Shirley Salon before her death. Father to Joel, Marlene and Paul; grandfather to Deborah, Heather, Shelley, Adam and Zachary and great-grandfather to Simon and Twyla. Born in Middletown, NY on Dec. 11, 1919, he was raised in the Catskill village of Hurleyville. He attended St. John's Law School and received his masters from NYU Law School. As an Air Force meteorologist in the Pacific, his forecast of a typhoon delayed the scheduled surrender of the Japanese by one day. Leo returned to establish a successful law practice in Manhattan, now known as Salon, Marrow, Dyckman, Newman & Broudy. He served as past presidents of the Solomon Schechter School of Westchester and the Ridgeway Country Club. He loved his family, the practice of law, playing golf and sharing stories and jokes around the family dining table. He died at home in White Plains, NY after a long illness on July 22, 2009.
