Charles Hersch Mandell

Dr. Charles H. Mandell, known to all as "Charlie," a beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, brother and uncle, passed away on June 17th, at the age of 82. A friendly, kind-hearted person with the gift of gab, he will be missed by all who knew him.

Charlie was born on May 5, 1942, in Providence, RI, to Dr. Israel Mandell and Claire (Katz) Mandell. He grew up in Providence, RI, attending public schools and spending many summers at Camp Bauercrest in Amesbury, MA. He also attended Sunday school at Temple Emanu-El where he first met his wife of more than 60 years, Jane (Finberg) Mandell.

Charlie graduated from Classical High School in 1959, and was elected president of the senior class. He attended Brown University, where he majored in International Relations, graduating in 1963. Next came medical school at Tufts University and radiology residency at Albert Einstein Medical College in Bronx, NY.

Charlie practiced radiology for over 50 years, a feat very few physicians achieve. His career began at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence and continued for more than 25 years at then Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River, MA. In his 60's and beyond, Charlie shifted to an independent contractor, traveling the country with Jane --to work short-term stints as hospitals from Nantucket to Naples ... and everywhere in between.

As those who knew him can attest, Charlie was also a serial entrepreneur - forming and building businesses in a variety of fields, some of them medically-related. These included variety of rental and renovate-and-flip real estate projects, solar and hydroelectric energy ventures, and an orthopedic business. Over the past 15 years, he has helped build the telemedicine company American Radiologists, Inc. and the medical software firm Umedex.

Beyond his work, Charlie enjoyed travelling to more than 50 countries, reading, going to dinner, seeing friends, spending time with his family- all with Jane by his side.

Charlie is survived by Jane, his sons David and Kenneth Mandell, daughters-in-law Sheila and Jacqueline Mandell, grandsons Zachary and Harrison Mandell, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and a wide circle of friends.

Service for Charlie will be held at 1p.m. on Thursday June 20th at Beth Israel 5808 West Atlantic Ave Delray Beach, FL 33484
