Martin Samuelsohn 1915-2010
Martin Samuelsohn, lifetime member and strong supporter of Dallas Hebrew Free Loan Association, passed away on February 16. Martin, “Uncle Marty” to all who knew him, was born July 3, 1915 in Rochester, New York.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 47 years, Marie Testa Samuelsohn. He graduated City College of New York, attended St. John’s Law School, then transferred to SMU School of Law in 1939, graduating in 1941. Martin spent most of his career in the liquor business, opening “Marty’s” Liquors on Greenville Ave. in 1943. He was president of the Shearith Israel Brotherhood and started the first Boy Scout Troup there. Among his many interests, he volunteered for SCORE, the Dallas Bar Association and SMU Dedman School of Law, and he received many awards and honors from the community. His passions were his family and promoting education among community youth. He will truly be missed by all for his “sunshine” smile and sparkling personality.
