We mourn the loss of Richard “Dick” Bein Dobrow, z”l, who passed away on July 26, 2024 at the age of 87.

Dick was deeply admired by friends and family for his deep intellect, the thoughtful care he provided in the fields of hematology and oncology, classical piano performances, appearances on “Jeopardy” and “On the Spot,” and volunteer contributions to Harvard and various musical and Jewish organizations.

Dick is survived by his children, Rachel Dobrow Stone (Scott Stone) and Shoshana “Shasa” Dobrow; grandchildren, Hannah, Karenna, and Fiona Stone, Ariel Dobrow-Riza and Carina Dobrow; brother-in-law, Steve Sholkoff; and special friend, Gail Maron.

Dick was preceded in death by his wife, Karensue Sholkoff Dobrow, z”l, and sister, Sherry Dobrow Lipinsky, z”l.

The funeral will be held at Landau Chapel at Beth Israel Cemetery Friday, August 16 at 10:30 am, immediately proceeding to a graveside service. The funeral will be followed by a Meal of Remembrance at Goodman Hall at noon. All are welcome to attend.

Donations in Dick's memory can be directed to All Classical Portland, the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Jewish Family & Child Service of Portland and the Portland Youth Philharmonic Karensue Dobrow Scholarship Fund.
