In Pittsburgh, instead of going to a doctor, my family usually consulted Doc, my mother’s oldest brother who was an internist. After he entered medical school, he was always called “Doc” instead of Abe. Doc Starr was a quiet, serious, modest man, not tall, and with a gray moustache. Late in life he married Helen, who had worked for him as an office assistant and then became his companion.
Renee Marks Cohen has graciously submitted her moving piece about "Doc." You will enjoy it: Download My Uncle Doc – Abraham Starr. You may contact Ms. Cohen at: RMC_Email.
