Dr. HAROLD J. ZEIDE Harold J. Zeide, M.D., age 94, passed away on December 10, 2011 in Florida of natural causes. His zest for life, thirst for knowledge, sense of humor, and concern for others will always be remembered.

He became Board Certified in Family Practice; he was beloved by all —his patients, family, and friends. His was a Master Magician, loved the opera, and pursued a zeal for excellence in all aspects of life. He is a direct descendent of the Shpoler Zeide, an 18th century Russian Jewish Rabbi and philosopher.
