With heavy hearts, Henry Street Settlement shares with our community the passing of Richard Abrons, our treasured friend, board member of 52 years, and fierce c...hampion of our mission, who, with his family, made transformative contributions to the Settlement and to New York City. A businessman, philanthropist, playwright, author, and adored husband, father, and grandfather, Richard was one of the most important and cherished figures in the history of Henry Street Settlement. The contributions of his extended family, inextricably woven into the fabric of our community for 123 of our 126 years, have directly helped and created opportunities for thousands of New Yorkers. To all of us at Henry Street, he was our hero, and we will always treasure his wit, wisdom, guidance, and compassion. See more
