DR. LARRY A. DOBKIN: On Monday, August 18, 2025; Beloved husband of Sharon Weiss Dobkin of Pittsburgh (formerly of Beachwood, OH); Very loving and proud father of Rachel (Ben Eisenstein) Dobkin of Brookline, MA; brother of Joseph Dobkin of Miami, FL. Also survived by several cherished cousins and dear friends. A graduate of Taylor Allderdice High School, Larry majored in chemistry and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Brown University. After graduating from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Larry practiced internal medicine and geriatrics, taking calls from home, making house calls and providing an unsurpassed level of care and expertise to all he served. Humble, unassuming and quiet, Larry had a wealth of fascinating stories which he remembered with extraordinary detail. A math genius, Larry loved baseball and was an amateur baseball statistician. He was also legendary for being able to balance his checkbook in his head to perfection. Larry loved teaching and mentoring; he loved dogs, especially his beloved Lucy, music and classic cars. He was kind, caring, generous, and down to earth. There was no one like him, and he will be terribly missed by his loving family, devoted friends and patients. Services at Ralph Schugar Chapel, Inc., 5509 Centre Avenue, Shadyside. Notice of day and time later. Visitation one hour prior to services. Interment Beth Shalom Cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the Parkinson's Foundation of Western PA (pfwpa.org), Congregation Beth Shalom, 5915 Beacon Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15217 and the Michael J. Fox Foundation (michaeljfox.org). www.schugar.com
