Dr.Litz delivered me on August 31, 1966 and also many of my cousins at Our Lady Of Lourdes in Camden. I am proud he is on my birth certificate.

I remember that in the early 1950's, Dr. Litz and Dr. John Cox practiced together in an office near the First Baptist church on King's Highway in downtown Haddonfield. My mother Audrey was an assistant in that practice. Later, Dr. Litz delivered my sister and became her godfather.
He was a good man. Farewell, Dr. Litz and condolences to your family.

Uncle John (as we knew him) will be missed by his friends. We have been blessed to have so many memories (get togethers during the summer, parties, etc.). The Litz family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Litz. I can still hear him singing "Ramona" as I was "going under" for the delivery of my first child almost 48 years ago. May God grant him eternal rest. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
