Despite the cruel blow of Parkinson’s at such a young age, Michael and Tracy Pollan built a strong, loving family around their four children. Each child chose a life away from the spotlight, cherishing privacy as their sanctuary. Their eldest, Sam, often mirrors his father’s warmth and publicly honors him, showing the profound bond they share. The family’s unity was tested but never broken.
