Tisch, Preston Robert
▪ 2006

      American financier and philanthropist (b. April 29, 1926, Brooklyn, N.Y.—d. Nov. 15, 2005, New York, N.Y.), owned, with his brother, the Loews Hotel chain and, with the Mara family, the New York Giants football team. In the 1970s Tisch opened the restaurant at his Regency Hotel to the civic and business leaders of New York City as they held breakfast meetings to work through the city's budget crisis; he christened these conferences “power breakfasts.” He helped found Citymeals-on-Wheels in 1981 and was president of that charitable organization for 20 years. He also served (1986–88) as postmaster general of the U.S.
