Henry Grossbard
Master diamond cutter Henry Grossbard, innovator of the Radiant Cut, died after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Hoboken, New Jersey, on April 23 around 10:30 p.m.
The 79-year-old Grossbard was strolling with his family dog in the suburb of New York City at the time of the accident. Hoboken police Sergeant Costello told Rapaport News that there were a couple of eye witnesses, but the agency continues to seek more information. Grossbard was struck at 3rd Street and Sinatra Drive by what is believed to be a late-model Honda Odyssey. The mini-van is light color, perhaps silver or light green, and is likely to have front-end damage and perhaps a broken windshield Costello said.
"Whoever did this and left the scene, the fact that it is a mini-van leads us to believe" the automobile is used for transporting children to school or general household shopping chores, Costello said. Anyone with information should contact the Hoboken police detective bureau at 201.420.2110.
Grossbard was known worldwide for the Radiant Cut, and he received worldwide patents for the Radiant Cut design in 1977, among the first patents ever granted for a diamond cut.
