DONALD ROSENTHAL

Peacefully, at home, in his 92nd year, following a brief illness. Donny Rosenthal, most beloved husband for 57 years of Carolyn. Predeceased by his first wife, Joani; and son, Douglas; and by his brother, Harold. Loving father of Gary and Abigail, Ken and Leslie, and Julie and Greg. He will be deeply missed by his grandchildren, Joelle, Shana, Peter, Elizabeth, Lucy, Jonah, Charlie, and Celine (Ivan); and by his great-grandson, Cayce. He felt that he had been so fortunate in his life. Professor Emeritus of the Department of Medicine at McMaster University, he had a profoundly rewarding career as a dermatologist, adored by his patients, lauded by the hundreds of students he taught, and held in such high regard by his colleagues, who looked to him for guidance in the most difficult cases. But he didn't want to be remembered for his professional achievements. What mattered to him most were the relationships he built with his family and many dear friends, with whom he enjoyed countless good meals, especially those featuring fine wine, red meat and a noticeable absence of green vegetables. At Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, 2401 Steeles Avenue West (3 lights west of Dufferin) for service on Sunday, November 30th, at 12:00 p.m. Interment at Dawes Road Cemetery, New McCaul section.
