Harry Falk

New York Board of Trade CEO Harry Falk died of an apparent heart attack on January 3, 2007. Falk, 66, was weeks away from closing a historic deal to sell the NYBOT to the IntercontinentalExchange (see previous story). That deal will stand as a capstone on his leadership at the NYBOT. Falk is survived by his wife, five children and 12 grandchildren.
