David L Blumenthal
April 22, 1926 — November 29, 2014
Dr. David L. Blumenthal
An extraordinary man died on November 29, 2014. David, a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend to many, was the only child born to Sol and Ida Blumenthal in Chicago, Il on April 22, 1926. This gentle soul grew to be a passionate student of life and the human experience, as evidenced by his many scholarly accomplishments.
For the last 60 years, David has been in private practice as a Psychoanalyst and continued his work until the time of his passing. He was continually driven in the pursuit of seeking (his) "Truth". This evolved in a deeper exploration of spirituality as the source of healing in his work. And, from this, many lives have been touched.
David was a proud member of the Merchant Marines, serving in World War II in Italy.
In 1968 he married the love of his life, Patricia, the woman who provided the perfect complimentary style for them to fully explore their life's journey. Patricia also brought a bounty of loving in-laws to David's life; who have been a great source of love, support and comfort.
During David's final days, he was surrounded by his loving family and friends. Along with Patricia, his is survived by his daughter, Jill Blumenthal Wharton, his grandchildren, Elizabeth Chislom, and Larry Wharton (Pita-Gay), many great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren, brother in law, Nathaniel Wright (Marilyn Jay), sisters-in-law Barbara Brown, Joyce Elliott and Sue Howard, cousins Norman Siegel (Barbara), Honorable Judge Ruth Miller of the Virgin Island, and Judy Miller Vogel, and many nieces and nephews.
Throughout his life, David exuded tolerance, inclusion, curiosity and wisdom, and had endless energy to be there for others; many of whom were brought into the fold of his family. He was a true "mensch". His love and wisdom will forever be with us.
In David's words- To my adorable, loving, attentive, supportive wife; we have journeyed together for over 47 beautiful years, but at this time I have to loosen your hand and take hold of my Creator's hand. Though I leave you in the flesh, our spirits are forever entwined. You can't follow me the rest of the way, but I leave you with eternal love.
Patricia gives thanks to all family and friends that have shown so much support and to those who provided for his medical care. In lieu of flowers, David would be pleased to have donation made to The Lubavitch of Indiana, 1037 Golf Lane, Indianapolis, IN 46260.
Graveside funeral services will be held, today, Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 3:00 PM in Beth-El Zedeck South Cemetery.
