Millard Sebring Pollock, 90, passed away peacefully of natural causes on the morning of March 14, 2018, with his children at his side.

He grew up on Long Island in Brooklyn and Port Washington, N.Y., graduating from Port Washington Senior High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J., where he was also a member of Theta Xi fraternity.

A U.S. Army veteran, he served in World War II. After 35 years with Long Island Lighting Co., Millard retired as vice president of electric production. He spent much of his life on Long Island, living in Port Washington and Fort Salonga and summering in Cutchogue.
