Saul Post ’53

With sorrow we report that Saul Post died Sept. 29, 1998, at White Plains [N.Y.] Hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Saul was born in NYC and graduated from Horace Mann School. Upon entering Princeton he roomed for a while with Al Zuckerman and ran cross country. He joined Terrace Club, was manager of the Photo Service Agency, and was a photographer for the Daily Princetonian and the Bric-a-Brac. He majored in economics and was a member of the Hillel Cabinet.

Shortly after graduation, Saul joined the family sporting goods business, Post Manufacturing Co., Inc., in NYC. He had two marriages that ended in divorce, and his third wife, the former Sylvia McLoon, died eight years ago. His hobbies were travel, photography, and music. Al Zuckerman recalls that Saul was an active investor in the stock market and later became a leading supplier of diving equipment. Saul lived in NYC for most of his life before moving to White Plains in 1996. To his survivors, son David Pestronk, daughter Maxine Pestronk, and sister Phyllis Green, we extend sincere condolences on the loss of our friend.
