Paul M. Glickman ’55

Body

Paul, a compassionate and caring dentist, died Dec. 8, 2000, of papillary thyroid cancer.

Paul was reared in Brooklyn, N.Y., and graduated from Abraham Lincoln H.S. At Princeton he majored in biology and joined Prospect Club. He served on the Princeton Hillel Foundation cabinet, played several IAA sports, and joined the German Club. His roommates included Jim Brachman, Herb Sugerman, and the late Ted Jacobs.

Paul earned his DDS in 1959 from the U. of Pennsylvania dental school and served two years as a captain in the Air Force Dental Corps. He then established a solo dental practice in Brooklyn, with emphasis on prosthodontia. He resided in Rockville Centre, N.Y. His friends and colleagues remember him for his intellect, wit, and amiability. Two decades ago, Paul wrote: "Princeton was an early step for me towards what has been a very fruitful and rewarding life."

Paul is survived by Rita, his wife of 42 years, sons Barry and Marc, daughter-in-law Tammy, three grandchildren, and his brother, Harvey '52. To all of them we extend our deepest sympathy.
