Dr. A. Albert Rosenberg ’25

Body

In sending news of Al Rosenberg's death at his home in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., on June 3, his son Bob '58 writes, "Dad was clearly beloved in Poughkeepsie as the "dean" of pediatrics and was greatly respected and loved by the community for his devoted service. He is also a proud father of a number of Princeton graduates including his three sons, two of his grandchildren, and many cousins."

Al was born in Newark, N.J., Jan. 14, 1905, and prepared at Barringer H.S. Following his graduation from Harvard medical school in 1929, he commenced a practice of 50 years in Poughkeepsie. He was director of pediatrics and past president of the medical staff at the Vassar Brothers Hospital, president of the Duchess County Medical Society, and of Vassar Temple. He was a member of a number of medical societies. He was also a member of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, the Rotary Club, and the Civil Rights Commission. He was active in Planned Parenthood and the Rehabilitation Center.

He maintained his interest in the class and attended many of our reunions.

He married Elma Samuel in 1934. She predeceased him in 1994. He is survived by three sons, Robert '58, Peter '61, and Carl '65, and eight grandchildren.
