My dad was a role model to all who knew him, said daughter Marsha Zuckerman. A beloved doctor who always made you feel like things would turn out all right, he was an engaged, generous and supportive father and grandfather.

After his wife Lilly Glaser passed away in August, 2011, he moved to Pittsburgh to be closer to his daughters.
Dr. Zuckerman loved sports, history, philosophy, opera, classical music, Jewish tradition and Yiddishkeit. He learned to ski when he was 54.
