Obituary for Gerald Alan Niederman
On Sunday, November 15, 2020, Gerald (Gerry) Niederman, passed away peacefully at the age of 69 in San Diego, California. Born on August 15, 1951, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Gerry attended Highland Park High School (where he met his wife, Nancy Solow), received his bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Columbia University, and earned his JD from the University of Chicago Law School. He dedicated his life to expanding access to health care for all and practiced law as a shareholder at Polsinelli in the Denver office, where he represented health care organizations and related nonprofit entities in Colorado and throughout the United States. He also proudly served on philanthropic boards, including the Colorado Lawyers Committee and Judaism Your Way.
Gerry was a devoted husband and father of three who believed in the possibility of a better world. He loved listening to music (especially recognizing his Jersey roots with Bruce Springsteen), driving his bright green convertible, cheering on the Cubs and Rockies, gardening, following his favorite podcasts, playing Scrabble, traveling, engaging in lively political discussions, eating pizza on the beach, debating the proper rice to water ratio while cooking, and enjoying after dinner walks.
Gerry is survived by his wife, Nancy, and three children, Alicia, Ian, and Olivia. He will be missed.
In lieu of flowers, his family suggests donations in his memory to the Colorado Lawyers Committee (https://coloradolawyerscommittee.org/), the Denver Dumb Friends League (https://www.ddfl.org/), or Judaism Your Way. ( http://www.judaismyourway.org/ )
