1934 – 2021
Dr. Fredric Jay Neuman of Larchmont, NY, passed away on Thursday (May 13, 2021) at the Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. Born on August 1, 1934, and raised in modest circumstances on the upper west side of Manhattan, Dr. Neuman had a vast range of interests. As a child, he cheered for the New York Giants baseball team and became an accomplished pianist, earning a musical scholarship to Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School. From 1951-1955, he attended Princeton University, majoring in philosophy and playing piano on a weekly radio show.
While in medical school at New York University, Dr. Neuman supported himself playing poker. During this period, he met Susan Kley, an English major at Smith College. Immediately enamored, he attempted to woo her by sending her a poem written in Middle English, only to discover he had copied the wrong selection. Nevertheless, he persuaded her to marry him months later and would remain devoted to her for the next six decades.
