Irwin Litt

Irwin Litt, M.D., of Princeton, New Jersey, passed away in August of 2020 at the age of 83.  Irv was born, raised and educated in Philadelphia, attending South Philadelphia High School for Boys, and completing his undergraduate and medical training at Temple University.  He interned in Brooklyn, New York and was subsequently commissioned as a Captain in the United States Air Force, serving as a General Medical Officer.  He returned to Temple University to complete his residency in radiology and a fellowship in interventional radiology, and soon after joined what is now the University Radiology Group in New Jersey. Irv practiced with this group for his entire career, specializing in mammography and dedicating himself to women’s health for decades.  He mentored medical students and residents and worked tirelessly on behalf of his patients.  He loved his profession.

Irv lived a full life with his wife of 57 years, Barbara.  His three children and their spouses as well as eight grandchildren brought him much joy.  He loved them all.  In his free time, he was a music enthusiast with a passion for jazz, blues, classical music and opera.  He loved theater and visiting New York City, as well as travel, always with his trusty camera by his side.  Irv was an avid reader of newspapers, magazines, medical journals and books.  For years he audited classes at Princeton University and later attended classes at the Senior Resource Center, and he enjoyed spending time with his friends in the Old Guard and 55 Plus social groups.

Private funeral services were held due to COVID.  Charitable contributions in Irv’s memory may be sent to The Jewish Center in Princeton (http://www.thejewishcenter.org) or Greenwood House (http://www.greenwoodhouse.org).
