RAPHAEL-SACKS LIBBY
Dr. E. Robert “Cy” Libby died peacefully in
his home of over 50 years on Tuesday Febru-
ary 19, 2019. Cy was married to Mira who
passed away in 2011. He leaves behind two
children, Claire Libby and Daniel (Lori) Libby
and 2 grandchildren, Jacob and Max Libby.

Born on June 8, 1920, Cy grew up in Phil-
adelphia's Strawberry Mansion. After gradu-
ating from Overbrook High school, he atten-
ded Pennsylvania State Optometry College.

Cy has been called a man of many parts. Cy
was an Optometrist, a hearing aid specialist,
inventor, publisher, Assistant Professor of
Speech and Hearing at Hahnemann Medical
School; and most importantly a husband,
father and grandfather. He started out as an
optometrist in Upper Darby and then fell into
his true calling as one of the pioneer hearing
aid specialists. Among his many revolution-
ary inventions was the infamous "Libby Horn"
which he developed and patented in 1982
and then sold in every country. Traveling all
over, Cy lectured to thousands about hearing
and became world renowned. Upon retiring
from his private practice, Cy started a new
career teaching "Longevity and Wellness" at
Temple University Association of Retired Pro-
fessionals where he was well known and
loved by all his students and colleagues.

Later in life in his 90's, he authored 17
volumes of his self-titled books, "Libby's
Random Pieces" which is a collection of
notes that he accumulated over his many
years of teaching, writing and lecturing. He
also got a copyright of a poem titled "The
Billy Penn on Top of City Hall." Cy was a true
Renaissance Man and will be well missed by
everyone who's life was touched by him. Cy's
advice is that the key to a long, happy life is
choosing your parents wisely. L'Chiam to
Life! GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S
