Manuel Sklar died June 12, 2020, shortly after his 95th birthday. He lived a life of unparalleled vigor and vitality. Born on May 3, 1925, to Fannie and Sol Sklar, Dr. Sklar grew up in Detroit, graduated from Central High School and was drafted in 1943 when he was 18. Serving as a medic in a combat engineer unit — he had already completed one semester of college and dreamed of becoming a doc- tor — he marched through the south of France, up into the Ardennes Forest and into combat in Germany in 1944. He served out the last phase of his military service with his unit in Nuremberg, where he witnessed the prosecution of Nazis for war crimes in the Nuremberg Trials. Coming home in 1946, Dr. Sklar earned B.S and M.D. degrees from Wayne State University, lived in a flat with his parents, brother, sister and grandparents and studied in the attic to the strains of opera and classical music. He was especially devoted to his maternal grandfather Leibl Nosanchuk. In 1949, he married Harriet Latt and they began their fam- ily in 1951, just before he grad- uated from medical school. The pair loved the DSO and traveling. They had five chil- dren together. At the time of Harriet’ s death, they had been married for 65 years. Dr. Sklar completed his res- idency in internal medicine at Receiving Hospital in Detroit and went to the University of Chicago for his fellowship in gastroenterology, a field in which he actively practiced until age 90. He always said he was fortunate to be able to be at U-Chicago at the time that the new field of endoscopy was being pioneered there. Dr. Sklar was asked to join his mentor, Dr. Joseph Kirsner, in his department; but with two young children and a third on the way, he decided to return to Detroit to be close to his family. In 1956, he opened a medical practice. He returned to Chicago peri- odically to continue working on the development of flexible endoscopes with the Olympus Corporation, the Japanese company that was manufac- turing them. Dr. Sklar and Dr. Kirsner maintained a close relationship as colleagues and friends until Dr. Kirsner’ s death in 2012. Dr. Sklar was board-certified in internal medicine, gastro- enterology and geriatrics, and served as chief of gastroen- terology at Sinai Hospital. He was an author and co-author of numerous scholarly papers throughout his long career. Beloved by his many patients and highly respect- ed by colleagues of all ages, Dr. Sklar was also known for being available to his patients 24/7 and making house calls long after house calls were considered too time consum- ing. Medicine was his passion, his joy and his identity, as evidenced by his maintenance of recertification in his three specialties. In order to improve his skills, he would devote a part of each year studying areas of medicine that were not in his specialty areas. He taught residents throughout his 80s and did not formally retire as a practitioner until the age of 90. Dr. Sklar was a lifelong learner, reading the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal from cover to cover every day and for 30 years, learn- ing Torah in a study group with Rabbi Eli Gordon of Southfield. He was devoted to the Detroit Tigers and didn’ t miss a Detroit Lions home football game from 1956 until just a few years ago. A Lions playoff appearance would likely have given him a reason to live for a few more years. Dr. Sklar was also a dedicated and longtime mem- ber of Congregation Shaarey Zedek and attended Shabbat services every Saturday. He accumulated many honors in his lifetime, including being named one of the Eight Over Eighty by Jewish Senior Life in 2018. Survivors include children, Susan Hurwitz (Martin), David Sklar (Julie Edgar), Melissa Sklar and Joel Sklar (Connie Cessante); grand- children, Ariel Hurwitz- Greene (Joseph Greene), Noah Hurwitz (Lizzy), Judith Hurwitz, Jonah Sklar, Daniel Sklar and Lev Sklar; great-grandchildren, Nathaniel Greene, Gabriel Greene, Asher Hurwitz and Hamilton Hurwitz. He is also survived by his sister, Diane Blau (Larry); sister-in-law, Valerie Indenbaum; devoted compan- ion, Elayne Galin; and many nieces and nephews. Dr. Sklar was preceded in death by his daughter, Elizabeth Sklar; wife, Harriet; and brother Donald Sklar. A graveside funeral was held at Clover Hill Park.
