Theodore Peter Polich, Jr.
February 2, 1935 — December 24, 2010
Theodore Peter 'Ted' Polich, Jr., beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle passed away on Christmas Eve at the age of 75. He was born in 1935 in Los Angeles and graduated from South Pasadena/San Marino High School in 1952. He graduated from Stanford in 1956 and from USC School of Law in 1959.
In 1960 he married Marilyn Moser and together they raised their family in San Marino.
In 1969, Ted and Landon Morris founded the law firm now known as Morris Polich & Purdy. For the next 40 years, until his retirement in 2009, Ted actively practiced law and guided the firm as it grew to 80 lawyers with offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, Irvine, Las Vegas and San Francisco.
Ted was outgoing, full of life and, like his father before him, revered three things above all else: God, his country and his family. He touched the lives of all who knew him and brightened each day with his big voice, hearty handshake and loving, loyal and generous spirit. He is survived by son Ted (Jennifer) and daughters Carey Yount (Robert) Lisanne Kern (Eric) and Crista Murray (Paul), brother Tyrone Polich as well as seven grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, honor Ted Polich by making donations to the Ted Polich Endowment at Saint Stevens Serbian Cathedral.
Prayer service will be held on Wednesday, December 29, 2010 at 7pm at St. Steven's Serbian Orthodox Cathedral. Celebration of Ted's life will be held on Thursday, December 30 at 11am at St. Steven's Serbian Orthodox Cathedral, located at 1621 West Garvey in Alhambra. Interment following at the Serbian United Cemetery in Los Angeles.
