Dearest grandfather of 18 and great-grandfather of 8.
Dr. Glicklich joined the U.S. Navy as a corpsman in 1944 and was discharged at the end of World War II. He was then accepted to the University of Wisconsin Medical School. Dr. Glicklich completed residencies in general surgery at the VA Medical Center, Milwaukee, in pediatric surgery at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, and in thoracic surgery at the Chicago State Tuberculosis Sanitorium. He was board certified in all three of these specialties.
In the early 1960s, he did pioneering research in microsurgical techniques now commonly used in major heart, lung, kidney and gastrointestinal procedures. He wrote many articles on the treatment of Wilms’ tumor, pediatric tracheostomy, swallowing disorders and congenital disorders of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
Dr. Glicklich began his private practice as a pediatric surgeon and later joined Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. Drs. Roger Cohen and Juda Jona joined Marv as partners; Bruce Kaufman, Linda Sell and John Aiken also joined Marv in the practice, beginning in 1972. During his years in private practice, Dr. Glicklich and his associates devoted many years of teaching and inspiration to the Medical College of WI training medical students and surgical residents.
Pediatric Surgical Associates was dissolved at which time Dr. Glicklich, his partners and associates joined the Medical College of Wisconsin full time.
Dr. Glicklich held many positions of leadership at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin culminating in his appointment as the hospital’s first surgeon-in-chief. Together with St. Joseph’s Hospital in Milwaukee he donated his time and surgical expertise to children from around the world.
During his 24 years of retirement, Diann and Marv traveled the world together, seeing the continents and numerous countries. They were able to spend more time visiting family on the east coast and visiting Marv’s brother, Don, and his family. Marv so loved sailing and spent many peaceful hours on the water also creating wonderful memories by sharing this love with his children and grandchildren.
Memorial service held Nov. 27 at the Goodman-Bensman Whitefish Bay Funeral Home. Rabbi Michal Woll officiated. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Diann and Marvin Glicklich Education Fund at the Medical College of Wisconsin or the Milwaukee Jewish Federation appreciated.
