Obituary

Marvin Saltzman, M.D., 86 of Plainville, died on Saturday, October 6, 2012. A native of Brooklyn, NY, Dr. Saltzman was the son of the late Samuel and Celia Saltzman, and the brother of the late Lawrence Saltzman and the late Enid Feinberg. Following service from 1944 to 1946 as a U.S. Navy Medical Corpsman, Dr. Saltzman earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the University of Vermont. He married the former Sylvia Wool of Burlington, VT in 1951, and they departed for Switzerland in 1952 where Dr. Saltzman studied medicine at the medical facility of the University of Berne. Following medical school, he completed an internship and residency at the New Britain General Hospital. Before opening his practice in Plainville in 1963, Dr. Saltzman spent a year as a physician at DEW Line radar stations in the high Arctic. Dr. Saltzman practiced in Plainville until 1980. He was affiliated with the New Britain General Hospital and the New Britain Memorial Hospital and served as the plant physician for General Electric. He taught at the University of Connecticut Medical School as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine, and he was a member of the school board in Plainville for seven years. In 1980, he joined the staff of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the New Britain General Hospital and served until his early retirement in 1993 due to health problems. He and Sylvia enjoyed trips to Switzerland, their “foster home” where they had many friends from his student days. He enjoyed music, books, entertaining friends, and spending time with his children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Dr. Saltzman is survived by his wife, Sylvia, by his son William, and his wife Lee Anne and their daughters Marissa and Jocelyn, and by his son James, and his wife Nina, and their daughter Danielle. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 1:00 PM in the Chapel of the Weinstein Mortuary, 640 Farmington Ave., Hartford with interment following in the Beth Alom Cemetery, Allen St., New Britain.

I was an orderly and then a Nursing Student at the then New Britain General Hospital.I knew Dr. Saltzman as an Intern and then as a Resident.
As many young people do, I went through a bad time of it. Dr Saltzman had just opened his Practice, and he bacame my Doctor of choice. He quite literally saved my life and earned my unwavering trust.
He was a man of great compassion who has and will have a place in my heart forever.

My father, Dr. William Eddy was a close friend of Dr. Saltzman for many years. Dad always told me what a fine person and Dr. "Salty" was. They were roommates in college at the University of Vermont for 5 years and kept in touch throughout their lives. My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Saltzman and his wife Sylvia on several occasions. Dad, my mother Nancy Eddy, and my husband David Bloom send our deepest condolences to Sylvia, Dr. Saltzman's sons, and granddaughters.

I was a student Nurse in 1955-58 At New Britain General Hospital. Whenever I was on duty and my patient was in trouble, I was always relieved that Dr. Saltzman was on call to help me. He was a wonderful teacher and a caring and brilliant Doctor.In later years he practiced in Plainville and my whole family was under his care. We became friends through the years,however I lost touch with him as we both became ill.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you Sylvia and your family.You were always such a good wife and companion to Marvin. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dr. Saltzman was the greatest person I ever knew. Both my mother and I had great respect for him and I think he liked my wild ways until he told me to "be careful" He was always in my thoughts as he would scold me when needed but I could see the compassion and love he had for our family much as we for his. I will miss him but he is forever in our spirits. Much love to the family. Merilee

My deepest sympathy to all of Dr. Saltzman's family. I can remember him so clearly as an intern and resident when I was in nursing school at NBGH. He not only cared for his patients but took the time to teach us when an opportunity arose. I'm sure you are all very proud of his accomplishments and will miss him. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
