After Princeton he went to Harvard Law School and joined the New York and California bars. He practiced first with the firm of Cook, Nathan, and Lehman and then with Steinhart, Feigenbaum, & Goldberg in San Francisco. He returned to NYC in 1938 to begin his remarkable career in investments and philanthropy.

Henry's remarkable philanthropic career included leadership of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, and he was a life trustee of the New School (which gave him an honorary law degree), president of the Mt.

In 1934 Henry married Louise Steinhart. She survives, as do their two daughters, Jean Troubh and Betty Levin, seven grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and a sister, Margaret Kempner. The class extends sincere sympathy to Henry's family.

=======================================
Henry A. Loeb Dies at 90; Philanthropist and Financier
By ERIC PACE
Published: January 28, 1998
Henry A. Loeb, financier and philanthropist, died yesterday at his home on the Upper East Side. He was 90.
Mr. Loeb had been since its founding two decades ago the vice chairman of the Loeb Partners Corporation, a Manhattan-based investment firm whose president is Thomas L. Kempner .
At his death he was also a life trustee of the New School, an honorary trustee of the Mount Sinai Medical Center and board member at the Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation.
The chief beneficiaries of his philanthropic largess were Mount Sinai, where he had been vice chairman, and the New School, where he had been chairman.
Mr. Loeb's firm, Loeb Partners, was founded after Loeb Rhoades, Hornblower & Company, another investment firm where he had been a senior partner, merged in 1979 with Shearson Hayden Stone to form Shearson Loeb Rhoades.
At the time of the merger, Mr. Loeb, his brother John Langeloth Loeb, his nephew Mr. Kempner and other relatives, left Loeb Rhoades, Hornblower to form Loeb Partners.
The original Loeb family firm was Carl M. Loeb & Company, which became Loeb, Rhoades & Company, which merged in 1978 with Hornblower, Weeks, Noyes & Trask to form Loeb Rhoades, Hornblower. Henry Loeb was a senior partner of both firms.
Henry Alfred Loeb was born in Manhattan, the youngest of the four children of of Carl M. Loeb, who was born in Frankfurt, Germany and lived for many years in Manhattan, and of the former Adeline Moses, who came from a distinguished Montgomery, Ala., family.
Carl M. Loeb, former president of the American Metal Company, was a co-founder with his son John Langeloth Loeb -- who died in 1996 -- and two others of Carl M. Loeb & Company.
Henry Loeb graduated from Horace Mann School, received a bachelor's degree in 1929 from Princeton University and a law degree in 1932 from Harvard and became a member of the New York and California Bars.
From 1932 to 1934 he was with the Manhattan-based law firm of Cook, Nathan & Lehman.
Then, after his marriage in 1934 to Louise Steinhart of San Francisco, he spent four years with her father's San Francisco-based law firm, Steinhart, Feigenbaum & Goldberg. In 1938 he returned to New York to become a senior partner in his own family's investment firm, which was then named Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades & Company.
After the United States entered World War II, Henry Loeb volunteered for the Army, although he had two children and was in his 30's. He began as a private and became a first lieutenant and a tank officer. He won the Bronze Star medal for his participation in the Omaha Beach landing on D-Day. He saw combat in France, Belgium and Germany, and his hearing became slightly impaired because of the noise during tank engagements in which he took part.
Mr. Loeb went on to direct the 1964-65 fund-raising campaign of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, of which he was a trustee. He oversaw 15,000 volunteer workers seeking funds for the federation's affiliated hospitals, child care and family agencies, homes for the aged, camps and community centers. Over the years, he was also chairman of the American Council for Emigres in the Professions, an organization aiding people who left their native lands for political reasons, a director of the Narragansett Capital Corporation, the Deafness Research Foundation and Ramapo Anchorage Camp in Rhinebeck, N.Y.
The other honors he received included an honrary doctorate in law from the New School in 1980.
In addition to his wife of 63 years, the former Louise Steinhart, he is survived by two daughters, Jean Troubh and Betty Levin, both of Manhattan; seven grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and a sister, Margaret Kempner of Purchase, N.Y. [13, 14]

The officers, Board of Directors, and staff of UJA-Federation of New York express our deep sorrow upon the death of Henry A. Loeb, noted philanthropist, who leaves a legacy of compassion and caring for the community. As chair of the 1964-65 fund-raising campaign of our predecessor organization, the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, and as a very significant leader for many years, he improved the quality of life for thousands of people in New York City. He has left a rich legacy. His devotion to children was reflected in his service as a Trustee of Ramapo Anchorage Camp, a UJA-Federation beneficiary. A leader committed to the concept of reaching out to the less fortunate as a private and public duty, he fulfilled the spirit of the teaching: ''As previous generations planted for me, so do I plant for the future.'' His dedication to these principles is carried on through the exemplary activities of his daughter, Betty Levin, a former member of the UJA-Federation Board of Directors and the founding chair of our Building Arts Committee. We express our heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Louise; his daughters Betty Levin and Jean Troubh; his sister Margaret Kempner; his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and all members of the family. May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Judith Stern Peck, Board Chair Louise B. Greilsheimer, President Stephen D. Solender, Exec. V.P. LOEB-Henry A. The Board of Trustees mark with deep sadness the death of Henry A. Loeb, a Life Trustee of the New School, who served the University for almost thirty years with dedication, compassion and generosity of spirit. Founding chair of the Board of Advisors of the Kaplan Center for New York City Affairs, which spawned the Milano Graduate School, he demonstrated his compassionate devotion to the University through his leadership as chair of the Board of Trustees, when he launched the Board's campaign to rebuild the Graduate Faculty. He shaped the New School with his love, farsightedness and intelligent support for the betterment of the University. We will miss his steadfast friendship and the joy and warmth he brought to our community. We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Louise, daughter Betty Levin, who continues the Loeb tradition as a New School Trustee, daughter Jean Troubh, and all the members of the Loeb family. Memorial Service will be held at Tishman Auditiorium, New School, 66 West 12th Street on Friday, January 30, at 11:30 A.M. John L. Tishman, Chair, Board of Trustees Jonathan F. Fanton, President, New School LOEB-Henry. The staff and Board of Trustees of the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services express their deep sorrow at the loss of Henry Loeb, the husband of Honorary Board Trustee Louise Loeb and father of Board Trustee and Executive Committee chair Jean L. Troubh. Mr. Loeb was a well-known philanthropist who was deeply concerned and caring for others and extremely supportive of the work of his wife and daughter with JBFCS. Our outpatient clinic for young children experiencing emotional or developmental difficulties, Louise and Henry Loeb Therapeutic Nursery School, stands as a testimony to the contributions of Henry and Louise Loeb to the New York community. We send our sincere condolences to his wife Louise, daughters Jean Troubh and Betty Levin, and the Loeb family. Joseph S. Kaplan, President Seymour R. Askin, Jr., Chairman of the Board Alan B. Siskind, Ph.D., Executive Vice President LOEB-Henry A. Mr. Loeb was elected in 1955 to replace his father, Carl M. Loeb, on the Board of Valeria Home, later renamed, in 1975, as The Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation. He took his duties as a Director with high seriousness. Always punctual, perspicacious and perceptive, he brought to our deliberations his wisdom laced with good humor. As Treasurer since 1959, he shared his broad experience in financial markets and surveyed and supervised our fiscal affairs with skills which will be difficulty to emulate. The Directors of the Langeloth Foundation extend their collective sympathy to Mrs. Loeb and their children. John L. Loeb, Jr, Chairman George Labalme, Jr., President Adam Hochschild, Vice President Peter K. Loeb, Treasurer
