The son of Holocaust survivors, Henry David Jacobsohn was the first person in his family born in the United States. He was born on Miami Beach, Florida on July 1, 1956, and attended Hebrew school where he made lifelong friends. He studied chemistry at University of Miami, and graduated a doctor of dentistry from Tufts University in downtown Boston.
His creativity was in equal balance to his understanding of medicine. His home was a monument to his creative endeavors. He was a talented woodworker, building model planes, furniture, shelving and cigar-box purses. His grandson Ari has one of these planes hanging above his bedroom in Texas. Henry was a very engaged grandpa, from reading bedtime stories, and helping them brush their teeth, he was beloved and adored by his grandchildren.
Henry found a lot of peace, away from the buzzing of dentistry tools, with Susie in the mountains of western North Carolina. His peace continued on the golf course, and enthusiastically cheering on the Miami Hurricanes.
His smile shone brighter than the top of his head. His caring personality and sense of humor brought levity to every room he entered. Henry loved mentoring people he worked with at TLC, and considered them all friends.
He is survived by his wife Susie, children Matthew, Andrew and Ellyn, his puppy, Reggie, mother Eva Stumphner Jacobsohn, brother Robert Jacobsohn and nephew Jonathan Bonchick, his daughter-in-law Megan and grandchildren Blythe, Eve and Ari, and best friend Dennis.
