MORRIS FREEMAN Obituary

FREEMAN--Dr. Morris,

95, died peacefully at home in Mt. Kisco Thursday October 5. Born April 10, 1922 in Chotin, Romania; emigrated to the U.S. with his parents in 1928. Raised in Brooklyn; graduated NYU and Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, then served in the Navy in World War II as a dentist on transport ships in the Far East. Upon returning he graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. For over 40 years he practiced internal medicine and oncology in the Bronx and was attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center. He practiced with unwavering passion, and was the consummate "old school physician." His intellect, warmth, humor and penchant for storytelling endeared him to countless lifelong friends, patients and colleagues. He is survived by his loving wife Violet, children Risa (Robert Bradley) and Neil (Linda Aboody) and grandchildren Jason, Natasha and Jeremy. Funeral services: October 8, 11:30am, Plaza Jewish Community Chapel, NYC.

I am a former patient of Dr Freeman's ... He saved my life in his office many years ago when I was 12 and my family will never forget that day! We all loved Dr Freeman and I even called him last year after tracking him down on the internet. We had a lovely conversation...today I found a letter he wrote to my parents when he and Violet couldn't attend my wedding back in 1970....it was such a sweet note..and I was looking up his address to mail him a copy when I saw this. I'm so sad to hear of his passing. May he rest in eternal peace.

Uncle Mischa, you were a warm and wonderful human being. You touched the hearts of everyone who met you. We always enjoyed our visits and phone conversations. We and your family will miss you so very much, but will always be remembered in our hearts.

Like a second father, Dr.Freeman was to me. I have only the kindest memories. He was a gentle soul. My fathers best friend( brother really), the morning I found out he passed, my heart sunk to the ground. This is a huge loss for the Kremenezky girls. He was a big part of our life. For which we are grateful. To Neil and Risa, How fortunate you were to call him your father. For that he was the best!!!'
