Dr. David Allen Howitt's Obituary
Dr. David Allen Howitt passed away on April 11, 2022, in Rochester NY after a short illness. David was a practicing ophthalmologist for nearly 40 years in North Miami after graduating from University of Rochester and Downstate Medical Center in 1964. David reveled in telling a good joke, particularly to his many patients over the years, and was always brainstorming the next great idea. He was a lover of high quality - be it fine pens, watches, wood furniture or food. He was a quiet influence on family and friends alike. David is pre-deceased by his wife of 25 years Eleanor, brother Harvey, and parents Joseph and Yetta. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer Howitt Anolik and husband Adam, Deborah Howitt Easton and husband Todd, grandchildren Eleanor and Sarah Anolik and Simon, Helena, and Emmett Easton, sister Carole Heyl, sister-in-law Sydell Howitt, lifelong friend Joel Silverman, longtime partner Diana Dunbar, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the Harvey F Howitt MD Memorial Scholarship fund at the University of Missouri Medical School. Graveside Service will be held on Thursday, April 14, 2022 at 10:00 am at Lakeside Memorial Park, 10301 NW 25th Street, Miami, Florida. Arrangements by Levitt-Weinstein Blasberg-Rubin-Zilbert Memorial Chapel (305) 932-2700
