Mark Milchman
MILCHMAN: Mark Milchman, on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. Son of the late Julia and Daniel Milchman. Beloved husband of Lisa Pollack. Loving father of Charlotte Milchman. Good friend to Bob Butler and other co-workers, Lyn Kirschenbaum who introduced him to his wife, and his cousin Margie Shoenfeld. Born and raised in New York, he graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with his degree in film. Mark learned to love radio from sleep-away camp as a child and became a ham operator (wa2cyz), which he turned into a varied career. A very modest man, with an incredible intelligence, he designed, built and worked at radio stations including Powerhouse in New York City. Never having to apply for a job, he was recruited to work for Media Sound Records, where he engineered several and produced a few of the early disco albums. He had a true legacy lying within the halls of NBC studios at Rockefeller Center, where he worked in maintenance but became a project engineer where he designed, oversaw and built studios such as Studio 1A, “Saturday Night Live” and others. Mark met his wife, Lisa, who truly brought out a special part of him and they were married in Pennsylvania. Soon after, they adopted their daughter Charlotte before moving to New Jersey. Mark was truly known for his patience and quiet personality, bringing a very special warmth with him wherever he went. He will be missed dearly by all that knew him. Contributions can be made to Congregation B’nai Israel, 53 Palisade Avenue, Emerson, New Jersey 07630 and Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. PJC
