Bernard Marcus, the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants who rose from a tenement in Newark, N.J., to create one of the world’s biggest and most recognizable brands, the Home Depot Corp., died late Monday at his home in Boca Raton, Fla. He was 95.
Marcus’ death was confirmed by an official at his nonprofit group, the Job Creators Network, who said he died of natural causes.
Marcus is best known as one of the founders of Home Depot, teaming up with financier Ken Langone and businessman Arthur Blank to create from scratch a company that employs nearly a half-million people working in thousands of stores across the country.
“The entire Home Depot family is deeply saddened by the death of our co-founder Bernie Marcus,” a Home Depot spokesperson told The Post. “He was a master merchant and a retail visionary. But even more importantly, he valued our associates, customers and communities above all.”
