Realtor Frank Ledermann Passes Away

Lifelong Westchester resident Frank Ledermann, of Houlihan Lawrence, Scarsdale, passed away Tuesday, January 13 at the age of 68. Mr. Ledermann had been active in real estate since 1980. Prior to that he had been a passionate and creative English teacher in Tuckahoe for 33 years. Frank was also a gifted painter, photographer, gardener, antiques collector, poet and cat lover. He had a sharp and entertaining wit, and was always concerned with the welfare and well-being of his family, clients and colleagues.

According to his brother Peter, Frank Ledermann was the child of parents who survived the Holocaust and he himself was a survivor of a very rare "orphan" cancer that only one doctor in the world could treat. The doctor rescued Ledermann 12 years ago but unfortunately the treatment resulted in a return of a different type of cancer within 10 years. He was hit with Leukemia and died in just three weeks.

Lewis Arlt of Houlihan Lawrence remembered Ledermann with these words; "He was a tireless, highly successful realtor and a top producer for Houlihan Lawrence, holding multiple professional designations including ABR, CBR, CRS, GRI, and SRES, and winning the gratitude, respect and love of his Houtlihan Lawrence teammates for his kindness, generosity and great good humor. Mr. Ledermann is survived by his brother Peter, his sister Jacqueline, his nieces Marjorie and Jamie, and his vast assortment of friends and colleagues who, together with his extended family, were his most treasured "collection." The world is by far a poorer place with his passing, but the world to which he has gone is richer for his arrival."
