Morde Lupatkin Obituary
1923 ~ 2015
Born Feb. 15, 1923, the son of an immigrant tailor, Morde Lupatkin grew up on Fordham Road in the Bronx and went on to serve his country in Europe in WWII. After his honorable discharge he completed his college education at The University of Missouri.
He then met and married Theresa Goldsweig and together they started life in Switzerland where Morde attended the University of Zurich School of Medicine, tackling the tough curriculum that was taught in Swiss-German, a language that was previously unknown to him.
After Morde graduated he and Terry moved to Westchester County. He was a small-town doctor with a big heart at a simpler time when doctors carried black bags, still made house calls and treated mothers, fathers, their sons and daughters and their sons and daughters.
Dr. Lupatkin touched the lives of many in Eastchester and the surrounding area.
He was often thought of as part of his patients' families. He died in his sleep on January 7th, just one month shy of his 92nd birthday. He will be greatly missed.
Dr. Lupatkin is survived by his children Barbara Maw, Bruce Lupatkin and Linda Lupatkin and his grandchildren.
A private service will be held on Sunday in what has been his recent beloved home, Park City, Utah. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the charity of your choice in Morde's name.

Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lupatkin personally, by the previous entries, it is apparent that he was loved by many. May his compassionate legacy bring comfort to those who mourn him along with the hope of seeing him again (John 5:25, 26, 28, 29b).

My condolences to Dr. Morde Lupatkin's Family. He was our family Doctor when he arrived in Eastchester, NY until he left to go west. He introduced us to Dr. Hubert Weber who would take over as our family doctor.
I, my wife Millie who went to heaven on May 14, 2014 and my daughters Marylou and Melinda, remember him for his kindness, patience and professionalism. May he rest in peace.

Linda, Bruce and Barbara,
May your Dad rest in peace. I will always have fond memories of him since I spent so much time at your house growing up. He was a wonderful man, lived a long and happy life, and was very proud of each of you. I felt lucky to be part of your "extended" family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Lupatkin was our family physician in Eastchester for many years. He was always kind, calm and unhurried. He will be missed. Thank you for everything, Dr. L.

This was my beloved cousin .We grew up together and we love him. He was so proud of his family and their achievements. I shall miss our telephone conservations. Although we were physically separated we were very close. My condolences to his children, my first cousins once removed.

When my daughter was a baby I called the dr ( he did not see babies) and after I cried he said bring her over. He had just gotten the office painted. As soon as we got there my daughter christened the place with projectile grape juice. After he calmly took care of her he said with a straight face looking around " gail this is why I don't see babies". Ps he kept her as a patient until I found someone else I was comfortable with. ( the search for a doctor was my problem which he understood) he took care of your medical needs and emotional ones. A great person. Sorry for your loss.
