SCOTT MACKLER

MACKLER--Scott, M.D. The Yeshiva University family is profoundly grieved by the passing of Scott Mackler, M.D. after his heroic battle with ALS for some 15 years during which he steadfastly continued his medical research as a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, despite the almost complete paralysis of his limbs, by use of his computer and hi-tech machinery directed by his eyes and was even able to produce scientific research papers. His indomitable perseverance and spiritual strength was enabled and enhanced by his loving family. His beloved wife Dr. Lynn and their sons Alexander (and Laura) and Noah, his doting parents, the late Alfred Mackler who predeceased his cherished wife, Helen Mackler, of blessed memory who spent half of every week with him and his family, his adoring brother Harvey (and Karen) Mackler, and deeply caring sister Randi (and Bob) Windheim, his many nieces and nephews represented by Alexander Mackler, on the Joseph Alexander Foundation Board, and a host of devoted friends and colleagues. Yeshiva University has benefitted over the past four decades from the leadership of Dr. Scott Mackler's family who serve on the Joseph Alexander Foundation Inc., which Helen Mackler's brother, Joseph Alexander established, who they named as a Yeshiva University Benefactor, have established significant academic research in its undergraduate and graduate schools with members of the Mackler family, Helen Mackler and Harvey Mackler serving on the Board of Overseers of Yeshiva College and Stern College for Women respectively, and they named the Joseph Alexander Library of the Marsha Stern Yeshiva University High School. May the entire Mackler family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Yeshiva University Richard M. Joel, President
