Albert Josselson

Dr. Josselson became Charlie Pankow’s personal physician soon after he and his wife, Bonnie, moved to Alhambra, California, in 1952.

In 1943 Albert Josselson graduated from the medical school at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Three years later, he completed his residency at a Chicago-area hospital. He then spent two years as chief of medicine of the 57th Field Hospital in Germany. Upon the completion of his medical training, Dr. Josselson and his wife moved to California.

As part of their settling into life in Southern California, the Josselsons renewed their friendship with Charlie and Doris Pankow, which had commenced during the war, when Bonnie Josselson and Doris Herman—the Pankows were married in September 1945—were enrolled in the nursing program at a hospital in Evanston, Illinois.

Dr. Josselson remained Charlie Pankow’s primary physician until the latter’s death, in January 2004. He and his wife live in Newport Beach, California.
