Dr. Singer was my pediatrician in the 60´s and he was my kids pediatrician in the 80´s and he retired right before my granddaughter was born, we were hoping for 3 generations of patients. He used to make house calls to our house in the 60´s. He was a wonderful caring man and I´ve thought about him very often. He is missed

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Dr. Singers family. He was my pediatrician, albeit in the 60s, but I will never forget his kind demeanor and his handsome face. Blessings to all
