Falk, Stuart

Dr. Stuart Falk, 91, of Farmington, CT, passed away quietly on October 28, 2021, with his family by his side. Stu was born on April 9, 1930 to the late Louis and Julia (Levin) Falk. He graduated from Forest Hills High School, Harvard College, and NYU School of Medicine. Stu married the love of his life, Viv, in 1953 and pursued his lifelong love of travel by visiting destinations all over the world with her. He served as a Captain in the US Army Medical Corps from 1955-1957 and in the Army Reserve. In 1961, Stu opened his own practice in Bristol specializing in urology. He served as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCONN Medical School, where he was adored by students and young doctors he mentored.

He brought the Lithotripter, a huge advancement in the field of urology, to Connecticut and the Meals on Wheels program to Bristol. Following his retirement in 1992, he worked at the VA in Newington.

Stu is survived by his wife of 68 years, Vivian (Silver) Falk and his children, Robert Falk of North Reading, MA, Marsha Falk Deluse and husband Mark of Farmington, CT, and Michael Falk and wife Janice of Windsor, CT. He
