Milton A. Schwartz, MD, beloved husband of
Phyllis D. Schwartz (nee Rudolph), the lov-
ing father of Randall (& Abby) Schwartz and
Erica (& Nicholas Hall) Schwartz, the adoring
Pop of Kyle, Sophie, Isaiah, Raphael and Eli-
jah, passed away Saturday, December 25, at
Capital Regional Medical Center with his
loved ones at his side. Milton had a passion
for life and a diversity of interests from mu-
sic to medicine, from umpiring little league to
working on community boards, from collect-
ing fine wine to cheering on his favorite Phil-
adelphia sports teams. He grew up in the
Feltonville section of Philadelphia and gradu-
ated from Olney High School in 1955. He did
his undergraduate and medical studies at
Temple University where he met the love of
his life, Phyllis Rudolph, in a calculus class.

After completing an internship at Lower
Bucks Hospital, Bristol, Dr. Schwartz served
as a Flight Surgeon with the U.S. Air Force at
the Rhein-Main Air Base outside of Frankfurt,
Germany from 1964-1967. He then returned
to the US and joined his childhood friend,
Robert Weisberg, in private practice in Mor-
risville, PA. Together they practiced medi-
cine for over 40 years until Dr. Weisberg re-
tired. Dr. Schwartz continued practicing
medicine until 2017, when he retired after 60
years, at the ripe old age of 80. Dr. Schwartz
was a compassionate physician with a wel-
coming sense of humor and a calming bed-
side manner. He was a man of integrity both
in the public sphere as a doctor and in his
private life as a family man and friend.

Milton’s first love (other than his wife) was
music. He began his musical career at the
age of five when his father put a violin in his
hands. His musical aptitude quickly became
apparent. He attended the acclaimed Settle-
ment Music School and then the New School
of Music in Philadelphia, PA, from which he
graduated at the age of 17. Later, as an adult,
Milton played with the Delaware Valley Phil-
harmonic for over 30 years (concertmaster
for over a decade) and performed with the
Greater Trenton Symphony Orchestra as a vi-
olinist for 10 years, all while serving on both
orchestra boards. In 1990, Milton and his
wife, Phyllis, along with Russell Hoffman and
others, founded the Newtown Chamber Or-
chestra, serving on the Board of the orches-
tra, often as board President, and playing as
Concertmaster for over two decades. He en-
joyed sharing his musical gift, and for years,
he and Dr. Russel Bechtloff gave benefit viol-
in and piano duet performances for many or-
ganizations, including the Human Growth
Center (now the Counseling Center of Bucks
County) and the Bucks County Youth Orches-
tra. Milton was a survivor with a strong will.

He was diagnosed with cancer in 2001, be-
coming cancer-free after a year-long battle
and remaining that way thereafter. He and
his beloved wife had a storybook love affair,
marrying at 22 and 19 respectively. After 62
years, he was heartbroken by her death earli-
er this year. Dad, we are grateful to you for
teaching us how to survive in the world, re-
spect ourselves and stand up for our prin-
ciples. You were loved and respected by fam-
ily, friends and colleagues. You will be sorely
missed and lovingly remembered. Funeral
services will be private due to Covid-19 re-
strictions. If you would like to pay your re-
spects to the family, you may do so at the
following email address,raks@comcast.net
