Loving husband, Dad, Granddad, brother, friend and founding partner of Prince Lobel Tye
Elliot David Lobel, 75, of Weston, Massachusetts passed away on October 15 after being struck by a car in the Dordogne region of France doing what he loved—biking with his beloved wife, Lenore Zug Lobel, and friends while travelling the world.
Elliot was born in Boston in 1948 to Esther Freaman Lobel and Louis Lobel. He grew up in Brighton and Newton with his sisters Merna Victor and Harriet Segal. He attended Newton South High School before earning his B.A. from Tufts University in 1970, his J.D. from New York University School of Law in 1973, and his LL.M. in Taxation from Boston University Law School in 1977.
Elliot was one of the founding partners of the law firm, Prince Lobel Tye, and his pride in and loyalty to the firm never waned. Prior to that, Elliot served as an Assistant United States Attorney and Middlesex
County Assistant District Attorney. Elliot’s reputation as a zealous advocate and trustworthy counsellor was unparalleled, one of the main reasons he was asked to serve as special counsel to the Committee on Professional Responsibility for the Clerks of Court by the Supreme Judicial Court.
Elliot thrived on educating and mentoring youth. He instructed a number of trial advocacy courses, including at the National Institute for Trial Advocacy, the United States Department of Justice, Harvard Law School, Suffolk University Law School, among others. Elliot was a proud alumnus of Tufts University and a past recipient of the Tufts University Citizen Lawyer of the Year Award for his efforts in creating a pro bono program offering support to low-income individuals in need of legal guidance. For many years, he served on the
Board of Advisors of the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts.
For all his accomplishments, Elliot cared most about his family and friends. He was married for 41 years to Lenore, sharing a thirst to love, laugh, learn and adventure together. Elliot loved his three children, Katie, Louis and Annie, and his two grandchildren, Sierra and Cardiff. Elliot remained a loyal friend and trusted confidante to so many in life who would seek him out for advice and help, which he generously provided. He had an infectious laugh and special ability to make people feel seen and heard. He left this world far too soon, but lived life to its absolute fullest to the very end.
A celebration of Elliot’s life will be held at 3:30 pm on Sunday
October 29 at Temple Beth Elohim, 10 Bethel Road, Wellesley, MA.
