STEPHEN N. ROSENBERG M.D.

The following is the opening paragraph of the eulogy I delivered on 4/7/2010 at the funeral of my father, Stephen N. Rosenberg. I have modified it below and made some additions for the guestbook.

When my father would call me on the phone he almost always opened with "yo." "Yo, Jordana," he would say. My father had a beatnik heart. It was a beatnik heart that drove him to write and publish a comic murder-mystery while holding two full-time jobs -- at Columbia University School...

Deepest condolences to Dr. Rosenberg’s family. He was a bright, engaging, warm, cute and funny professor and we all enjoyed his lectures and the life lessons he shared. I also interacted with him as a work-study student in the former Health Administration division office, and he was open, giving and a pleasure to be around. May he rest in peace, and may he continue the revelry in heaven with the late, great Dr. Lowell Bellin, his former colleague at CUSPH. His time with us was a precious gift...

There are so many wonderful memories of Steve and Barbara. We shared beautiful times together...early times in medical school, living in San Francisco and always Steve was the bright and shining star. My love goes out to Barbara and her family.
With Love, Roz Laakso

We met Dr. Rosenberg and his lovely wife 12 years ago when we moved into our Southampton home. It was always incredibly obvious just how in love he was with his wife and family. For us a sure sign of Spring every year has been seeing Steve and Barbra walk hand in hand through the neighborhood. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
Warmly, Rick and Mary Schneider

I met Steve 40 years ago working for Medicaid. I saw him from time to time over these years and he always had a joke, along with a true interest in what I was doing. Ray also met him through work in the health field and invited him to join the Biggs Society. We are both saddened by his untimely death.

Steve was handsome,bright,happy...everything good. The only bad element in his life was a freak accident which makes it all so sad and so frustrating. We all know he would've been there to help us. This is what makes life so unbearably random. Kenny Solms

Steve was the perfect man. The perfect husband. The perfect father. I will always remember him as happy, smiling, funny, and totally in love with his wife. With love to the family, Gail Parent

Steve was a pleasure to work with, and brought many improvements to Active Health Management. His humor and understanding always made our project meetings more enjoyable. He will be greatly missed.

He was our touchstone and exemplar for the ideal husband and father. He was fun, wise, smart, reasonable, witty, and generally perfect. Words cannot begin to express what a loss this is. Dale Burg
