Dan Franklin Pollets

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Dan Franklin Pollets, a.k.a. “the doodle,” 68 years young on Monday, April 19, 2021.

Devoted husband of Felice Brenner, adored son-in-law of Ros Brenner, beloved father of Michael Pollets, stepfather of Eve Brenner-Alsop and her husband Michael Goss, grandpa to beautiful Gibson and brother of Paul Pollets, John Pollets and their families, and a very cherished friend.

Dan demanded honesty and truthand was rewarded with intimacy and love. His indelible spirit and humor,

extreme skiing, tennis and undeniable ping pong skills will be missed.

Dan leaves behind many “best friends“ who were so central to his life.

In his 40 years as a Clinical Psychologist Dan gently guided so many through challenging life changes

with a loving hand and gentle touch. His passion to help others was hard wired.

Dan would want to share “The Five Buddhist Remembrances”

I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.

I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape ill health.

I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There

is no way to escape being separated from them.

My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions

are the ground upon which I stand.

A celebration of Dan’s life will be held when we can all gather safely.
