FOMALONT Robert Fomalont M.D., of Cranbury, New Jer-
sey, passed away peacefully at his home sur-
rounded by his family on September 27th,
2020 due to complications from Parkinson’s
disease. He was 85. Born in Philadelphia to
Celia and Jack Fomalont, Bob (often referred
to as Rob) grew up in West Philadelphia and
graduated with friendships that lasted a life-
time from West Philadelphia High School in
1952. He completed undergraduate studies at
Temple University in 1956. After receiving his
medical degree from Hahnemann Medical
College in 1960, he was commissioned in the
United States Navy where he served in the
Medical Corps as a Lieutenant. Following his
service, Dr. Fomalont was a founding physi-
cian of Princeton-Nassau Pediatrics in Prin-
ceton, NJ. He remained with this growing
medical practice his entire career, caring first
for thousands of children and then for their
children a generation later. He was loved by
his patients and their parents – sharing a
smile, or a joke, and often wearing a brightly
colored tie that told the kids he was there for
them. Dr. Fomalont became a pioneer in the
emerging specialties of Attention Deficit Dis-
order and learning disabilities and helped
countless children address these previously
unmet medical needs. In 2004 he retired to a
new home in Cranbury, NJ. Dr. Fomalont
lived a full life filled with love together with
his wife and high school sweetheart, Bobbi
(nee Narish), until she predeceased him in
2016. They traveled to Africa, went on
cruises, and thought Paris was the most ro-
mantic city in the world. You could often find
them enjoying a fine meal and a Broadway
show, opera, or ballet in NYC, or dining in
and around Princeton before attending a per-
formance at the Arts at McCarter Theater. Be-
ing an avid reader, his home was filled with
stacks of newspapers, magazines, medical
journals, and books of all genres. Dr.

Fomalont was also involved with CWW and
The Old Guard of Princeton, NJ for many
years. For decades after retiring, Dr.

Fomalont was often approached in public
venues by former patients, friends, and ac-
quaintances who were thrilled to see him and
to remember and thank him for how he had
cared for them. Dr. Fomalont thrived being
surrounded by family. After marrying Bobbi
in 1975, their blended family included eight
children; Michael Fomalont, Joel Fomalont,
Susan (Tom) Fomalont Sloan, Bud (Sindey)
Dranoff, Sue Sabogal, Dede (Peter) Horowicz,
Lisa (Michael) Connors, and Judi (Harvey)
Malove. Along with their spouses and 14
grandchildren and four great grandchildren,
Dr. Fomalont’s “immediate’ family included
35 people. He will be greatly missed. Due to
Covid-19 considerations a services are
private. Charitable donations in the memory
of Dr. Fomalont are requested to be sent to
