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
