Gilbert Alvin Liss, M.D. born on October 13,
1929 widower of Hermine and father of five,
died peacefully at home on December 18,
2020. Born in Philadelphia to Louis and Sad-
ie Liss at Albert Einstein Hospital in the Ol-
ney section of Philadelphia, he was given a
silver cup as the "fattest baby". He lived his
early years above the Louis Liss bakery, the
family business on Rockland Street in the Lo-
gan section of Philadelphia. At his parents’
side in the bakery he learned the skills to be-
come a talented cake decorator and baker,
skills that he shared with his children, grand-
children, and community for the rest of his
life. As a young boy and man he spent much
of his summer time on the family farm in
Vineland and in Atlantic City. After graduat-
ing from Olney High, he received a degree in
accounting from Temple University. Re-
cruited to Officer Candidate School, h e
entered the United States Navy and served as
Lieutenant on the SS Huse, a destroyer es-
cort, for two years during the Korean War. He
was married in 1953 to the love of his life,
Hermine Betty Eisenberg, a Bronx beauty,
whom he met on a blind date while in the ser-
vice. Following postings at naval bases in Key
West, Florida and Newport, Rhode Island, Gil
and Herm and their first child returned to live
with Lou and Sadie in Philadelphia’s East Oak
Lane neighborhood. They would live with Lou
and Sadie for the next 11 years. With initial
plans to join his father in the bakery, a
change in career path led him back to school
to become a doctor. While he completed his
medical training Gil and Herm added four
more children to the house in E. Oak Lane.

He received his M.D. from Temple University
School of Medicine with honors in 1961, in-
terned at Philadelphia General Hospital and
served a residency in OB/GYN at Temple Uni-
versity Hospital. The whole troop moved to
Phoenixville Pennsylvania in 1965 where he
opened one of the first OB practices in the
community, delivering over 8000 babies dur-
ing his career. Gil loved the practice of medi-
cine and took joy in helping others. He was a
leader in the hospital and at his synagogue,
B’nai Jacob, to which he remained dedicated
until his death. He was full of life and love,
with bear hugs for family and friends and was
able to see the best of and take true pleasure
in the people and world around him. He loved
to hunt and fish and treasured 50 years of
family time at the Lake Winnipesaukee Bear
Island summer cottage. He loved gardening,
always competing with nature to grow the
earliest tomatoes and propagating beautiful
flowers and plants in his greenhouse. Gil died
at 91 years of age after a long struggle with
Parkinson's and a one-week illness with
COVID 19. Gil and Hermine were able to re-
main in their home because of the loving care
and phenomenal devotion of their team of
caregivers from Angel Companions. Words
cannot express the family's gratitude for
these people who loved Gil and Hermine,
truly becoming part of our family. He and
Hermine, who died last year, leave a rich leg-
acy of values including family, love, honor,
respect and loyalty. He is survived by his five
children, Jon (Andi), Bob (CJ), Larry
(Wendy), Fred (Diane) and Abbe (Aaron). He
took enormous pride in his 14 grandchildren
and their partners Naomi (Joe), Jacob
(Boom), Toby (Lalo), Hannah (Kyle), Laura
(Toby), Dana (KG), Louis, Zachary (Jaz),
Kyle, Claire, Nathan, Ellie (Dan), Jeremy
(Helen), and Gabe (Kelly). Great-grandchil-
dren brought it full circle – Jackson, Talya,
Andrew and Isaac. Donations may be direc-
ted to two of his favorite charities, Congrega-
