Markham Rollins, Jr., James Inzerillo Served Industry and Community
We note with sadness the passing of two professional gentlemen,
truly worthy of the name: The first is Markham Rollins, Jr.,
aged 80, father of Markham III and Charles, and successor to
his father in the operation of the Rollins Agency in Bronxville, founded
in 1910, now located in Rye Brook. A former U.S. Marine, Markham built
the agency through consistent, dedicated service to the Community and
through care for the insured. In addition to his wife of many years, Sally,
their sons and daughter Elizabeth, he leaves nine grandchildren… James
Inzerillo, of Scarsdale, passed away at age 91. He served in WWII in the
Pacific theater for 3-1/2 years, fighting in Guadalcanal, the Solomon
Islands, and the Philippines. In 1956, he joined the Munich Reinsurance
Company, U.S. Branch, as Vice President. In 1975, he became President,
a position he held until his retirement in 1989. He was an active board
member of many of the insurance industry’s associations. He was also
Chairman of the International Insurance Society and the International
Insurance Hall of Fame, and was Trustee of the Griffith Foundation for
Insurance Education and the College of Insurance of New York. James
was a Knight of Malta. His daughter Jean, son-in-law Nicholas Savoye
and his grandchildren Kristin and Mark Savoye, survive him. His wife
Frances and son Anthony predeceased him… The New York Insurance
Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (NYISF) awarded its 2014–2015 scholarship
to Ashley Kadamthottu, a junior at St. John’s University studying actuarial
science from Congers, N.Y. According to Ellen Melchionni, president of
NYISF: “Her accomplishments during the first two years of her studies
are nothing short of outstanding. Ashley will undoubtedly prove to be a
tremendous asset to the insurance industry.” NYISF was founded to
encourage scholastic achievement, community involvement and a commitment
to further advancing the insurance industry. “Ashley embodies
of all these qualities,” Melchionni continued. “Her academic record is
exceptional, she is active in the community, and she has already gained
valuable real world experience through various internships.” The development
of future leaders is essential to ensure the viability of the insurance
and risk management industry. NYISF addresses the great need to attract
young professionals into the business. “Insurance and the needs of consumers
grow increasingly more complex,” Melchionni said. “The cultivation
of new talented leaders is critical to the future of the industry.” The
New York Insurance Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (NYISF) is a public
charity initiated by the property and casualty insurance industry that supports
students studying the business of insurance in New York. The foundation
is affiliated with the New York Insurance Association. For more
