Frank “Jr” Juhasz, MD

Frank “Jr” Juhasz, M.D., age 77, passed away on April 4, 2021 after a long illness. He was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Lillie (Vrablic) Juhasz.

Frank is survived by his longtime loving partner and caregiver, Anne (Casbar) Liscio, who made sure his final years were comfortable and fulfilling. He is also survived by his adoring sisters Lillian Desrosiers (Lee), Barbara Mitaly (Scott), and loving nephews Brian and Mark Desrosiers and Michael Mitaly.

Frank was born March 17, 1944 in Bronx, NY. He was raised in Mansfield, CT where he graduated from E.O. Smith High School. He then attended Emory University and the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy. He continued to study for his medical degree at Universidad de Guadalajara. Upon graduation, he completed his internship in Internal Medicine and Family Practice at Overlook Medical Center in Summit, NJ. He joined EMA physicians’ group where he served for 25 years in the ER at Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, NJ, as well as numerous NJ hospitals. Prior to retirement, Frank worked at ADP in Florham Park as the Occupational Physician.

Frank enjoyed racing his many Porsches and was a proud member of the Porsche Club of America. He also loved his Hobie Cat sailing catamaran which he trailered all over the tri-state area to set sail on countless lakes. For many years he “mastered” the game of golf and was a golf ranger at Black Bear Golf Club. Many of you know he had an obsession with stray golf balls. For decades he collected thousands of golf balls, washed, sorted, and stored them away. So, let Anne know if you need a few hundred golf balls! Fore!

When Frank wasn’t racing or golfing, he could be spotted sailing and fishing on Green Pond where he lived for nearly 40 years. He was known throughout the village as the “unofficial” Green Pond physician, removing countless fishhooks from unlucky fishermen. The only thing he loved more than his hobbies was his beloved Golden Retriever companions who he held dear to his heart.

As you can imagine, Frank touched many lives throughout his life and anyone who was blessed to know him can recall a funny story or two where Frank was the “star”. Frank would stop to talk to just about anyone at any time and go out of his way to lend a helping hand. A humble and respectful M.D. who treated all patients as if they were family. He looked forward to bi-monthly Zoom meetings with his retired colleagues to share stories and keep in touch.
