Virginian-Pilot, February 8, 2011
NORFOLK, Elliot Pogolowitz lost his battle against cancer Feb. 6, 2011, 
surrounded by his loving family. He was predeceased by his parents, Maurice and 
Sylvia Fine Pogolowitz. Elliot was a lifelong Norfolk area resident with many 
caring friends who have been so attentive through his ordeal. He graduated from 
Maury High School, Class of 1964, where he played football, and went to college 
on a wrestling scholarship. He graduated from UNC Wilmington. Elliot was very 
active with the Jerry Sazio-Maury Football Group and Foundation. He retired 
after 25 years with New York Life Insurance and prior to his career with them, 
worked in consumer affairs for the City of Norfolk, and was a loyal employee 
for many years at the Botanical Gardens, but began his career with George 
Kaufman at Guest Quarters. Elliot also worked for many years at Scope and 
always had entertaining stories about his time there. His true love was his 
grandchildren, the beach, and beach music. He always said he never met a summer 
day he didn't love. He is survived by his wife, Rosalyn Levy August Pogolowitz; 
his devoted brothers, Joel and Ann Pogolowitz of Fair Lawn, NJ, Jeff and Nancy 
Pogolowitz, of Portland, OR, and Richard Pogolowitz and Linda Streem of 
Wynnewood, PA; and nine loving nieces and nephews. He has been a loving 
stepfather to Meredith and Steve Cheifetz of Ambler, PA, and Adam and Brooke 
August of Potomac, MD, and Elliot was most proud of being POP POP to six 
grandchildren. The family would like to express their thanks to the staff of 
Virginia Oncology, particularly Angela who allowed him to have the title 
of "mayor of the chemo room and to the dedicated staff at Beth Sholom Home. His 
amazing good nature and jovial personality will be missed by all who knew him. 
A funeral will be conducted at 12:30 p.m. today, Feb. 8, in the Norfolk Chapel 
of H. D. Oliver Funeral Apts. Burial will follow in B'Nai Israel Cemetery. The 
family will receive friends at Pembroke Towers, Apt. 508 through this evening 
and will then return home to sit Shiva in their respective communities.
