IN MEMORIAM

Marvin Rosenberg PERIO 60

North Palm Beach, Florida

February 3, 2023

Dr. Marvin M. Rosenberg, of Palm Beach and most recently North Palm Beach, passed away on February 3, 2023. Dr. Rosenberg, a retired periodontist, was 88 years old.

Dr. Rosenberg graduated from dental school with a DDS from New York University in 1958. He received his postgraduate education and training in periodontology at Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania.

In 1960, Marvin and his new bride, Baylie Rubin Rosenberg, moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, where he opened his dental practice. Ultimately, the practice grew under his leadership to be one of the largest and most successful in Palm Beach County.

With Baylie, Dr. Rosenberg was active in Palm Beach philanthropic activities for decades with a special emphasis in raising funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, both locally and nationally, and for Jewish causes.

He was a supremely committed professional. Over many decades, he honed his skills as a periodontist (pioneering new surgical techniques), real estate developer, noted textbook author, lecturer, and adjunct professor.

Christoper Allen Pedorella graduated from the University of Hartford School of Music in 1989, and received his Doctor of Medical Dentistry from Boston University Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry in 1997, before returning to Fort Carson to join the U.S. Army, earning the rank of Major.

Although Chris did not pursue a musical career, he never stopped singing. As his patients and co-workers will tell you, much to their delight and sometimes chagrin, Chris loved to sing country music and tell jokes as he worked. Never mind the audience, Chris laughed the hardest at the jokes.

Chris was published in General Dentistry, a Journal of the Academy of General Dentistry; and was a member of the Kent County Dental Association, the East Greenwich Chamber of Commerce, the American Dental Association, and the Rhode Island Dental association. He was also a Pierre Fauchard Academy fellow.
