Hubert F. “Bert” Sadowski, died on December 2, 2020 after a long-standing battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was born in Detroit, Michigan on April 14, 1943 to Dr. Hubert Steven Sadowski and Helen (Jaworski) Sadowski Barcalow. He graduated from the University of Detroit Jesuit High School in 1961 with honors, and University of Detroit College in 1965.

Lebanon at St. Clair Hospital. He was a founding member of Premier Medical Associates, which has grown to over 10 locations with 100 providers. He was a devoted physician to his patients, and found strength in the medical community, many of whom became close lifetime friends.

Before his passing, he moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Sudbury, Massachusetts to be closer to family. He died at home, and to the end showed his strength and wit.

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Rita Sadowski (Nosky); his sisters Mary Kellman (Harold) and Julia Coopersmith; and his daughters Dr. Rita Sadowski (Scott Kwiker), Katherine Sullivan (Brian), and Maria Maule (Scott).
