Stephen Feig Obituary

December 24, 1937 - November 30, 2022 Dr. Stephen A. Feig (A.K.A "Dr. Turkey" to his patients) of Los Angeles, CA passed away on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at the age of 84. He was born on December 24, 1937 in New York, NY. Stephen graduated from Princeton University (class of 1959) and received his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians in 1963. He completed his Pediatric Residency at Mount Sinai Children's Hospital in New York City and his fellowship in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Boston Children's Hospital. Stephen was a professor of Pediatric Hematology & Oncology at UCLA Medical School for more than 40 years prior to his retirement in 2016 and served as Division Chief for many years. He had a passion for serving children. His habit of joking with patients by calling them "turkeys" led to his nickname and an extensive collection of turkey memorabilia. He was an avid tennis player and sports fan, a world traveler, and loved fishing, art, opera, and solving crossword puzzles. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Judy; his three children: Laura, Dan and Andrew; and five grandchildren: Zach, Ricky, Teddy, Joe and Sam. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to the Division of Pediatric Hematology at UCLA School of Medicine to support the Feig Lecture.
