Since we moved to the Polo, we had the honor of meeting Helen and sharing wonderful and joyful moments together. There were Thanksgiving dinners, birthday celebrations, and many polo dinners. She had a young spirit, which is why we connected so well.
We will deeply miss our partner and dear friend, who, during the season, was always there to welcome us with open arms and proudly share stories about the children and grandchildren she loved so much.
Living alongside a couple who loved and cared for each other so deeply was a privilege. Seeing them together holding hands, exchanging glances, and still in love after 65 years was truly beautiful.
I am certain that wherever Helen is now, she is looking after all of us.
With Love,
Margareth and Joao Argon

May Helen’s memory be a blessing. Her and Allen were integral parts of my life, spending almost 20 summers with them as a camper and then as a counselor. I wouldn’t be the same without the contributions of the Schwartz family to the camping and north shore community.

My relationship with the Schwartz family dates back to 1967 when I started working at Banner. Over the years the entire family have become friends and more. My deepest sympathies to Allen, Stacy and all. I wish I could be there in person, but my heart will be there with you.
