MICHAEL SLUTZKY DDS

SLUTZKY--Michael, DDS, passed peacefully after a brief battle with lung cancer at the age of 82 at Mount Sinai Hospital, West in the presence of his loving family. To say he was simply a beloved and devoted husband to his wife of 58 years, Carol, father to Steve (Jill), Mark (Debbie), Debra (Ian) and Stuart (Susan) and grandfather to Natasha, Amanda, Bekah, Cameron, Jacob, Emily, Julian, Gabby and Jessica while being true would only tell part of his story. As a member of the CCNY class of 1961 and a 1965 graduate from the prestigious NYU Dental School, Doctor Slutzky was a fixture in his Bensonhurst/Borough Park neighborhood for well over 50 years up until the time of his death. To also say he was simply a beloved dentist is only part of his story. As a five decade resident of Manhattan, as well as upstate New York, he became such an accomplished painter and baker that people paid for his services in both endeavors. For all his talents and accomplishments it is his strength, empathy, teddy bear hugs and love we will miss the most. At his request there will be no funeral. Instead, the family plans a Celebration of his life in the spring so all of his family and friends may attend.
