Obituary: Dennis B. Poster, 82

The following obituary of Dennis B. Poster, 82, is from Abraham L. Green & Son Funeral Home:

Dennis B. Poster passed away surrounded by his loving family at home on Friday, June 24. He
was born in Syracuse, NY to Dr. Marvin and Marion Poster on June 20, 1940. The oldest of
three children, he graduated from Syracuse University and married Joan in 1965.

He ran specialist books on The New York Mercantile Exchange and The American Stock
Exchange. He later managed D.B. Poster Associates, working from CT to be closer to his
family. He was on the Executive Committee of Weill Cornell Medicine’s Dean Council, was
Emeritus Chairman of the JHE Foundation and served on the boards of The Hole in the Wall
Gang Fund, Save our Strays and The Compass Fund. He was also a trustee for The Aronson
Family Foundation, which supports education, the arts, healthcare, and animal rescue
charities. Dennis was most generous with his time and extremely philanthropic in his
community.

Dennis loved golf, Pepe’s Pizza, DQ Blizzards, blackjack, backgammon, Shark Tank, watching
CNBC, his cat named Shadow, feeding the surrounding wildlife by his home, and most
importantly, his family.

He had a near 50-year Father's Day tradition of mini-golfing with his daughters and then his
grandchildren. He played semi-pro golf and often played in pro-am golf tournaments with
friends. A scratch golfer, he once shot a 66 at Winged Foot!

Dennis had a big heart, a warm soul and was fiercely loyal to his family and friends. We will
miss his contagious chuckle, generosity, sage advice and especially his love.

Dennis is survived by his wife, Joan, of 57 years, his daughters, Meredith and Cindy (David) of
Westport, CT, his six grandchildren, Hannah, Lillie, Matthew, Max, Jack and Sam, his brother,
Greg and his sister, Wendy.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
(holeinthewallgang.org) and Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer (letswinpc.org).
