Nasser Sabokbar, M.D.

June 18, 1927 - May 10, 2020

On Sunday, May 10th, 2020, Nasser Sabokbar, beloved father and grandfather, passed away peacefully at age 92 to his final resting place. Nasser (Nick) was born and raised in Tehran, Iran, until 18 years of age when he went to Preparatory School in England. He then went to Medical School at the University of Geneva, Switzerland and returned to England to complete his training where he met Mary Ann Wallis. They married August 1, 1959. In 1960 they moved to the United States where Nasser continued further training in upstate New York and started a family. Throughout his career, Nasser aspired to have his own medical practice and attained this goal by opening what eventually became Allergy and Pediatric Allergy Associates, in Sellersville, PA. He was a highly respected and well-loved physician who is still remembered by many of his patients. Nasser traveled the world and was a very active and brilliant man. He played a mean game of tennis and also took up skiing in his late 50's. Playing chess was a lifelong passion, teaching his daughter, Karen, and playing many games with friends as well as his grandson Josh. Nasser continued to play chess on a regular basis and remained unbeatable over the years. He was known for his sharp sense of humor and infectious laugh. He had a love for languages and was fluent in Farsi, French, and English. He also studied Spanish later in life. Nasser was a lifelong member of the Rotary Club. He was also a great believer in higher education and the pursuit of academic achievement. Nasser will be greatly missed by friends and family. He is survived by Mary Ann Sabokbar; children; Julie Sabokbar, Karen Sabokbar Hartley (husband Greg); grandchildren; Josh, Andi, Samantha, Matthew, and Sarah; great-grandchildren; Chase and Jack. He also leaves behind his close friend Virginia Scarano. Contributions in memory of Nasser can be sent to the Dock Woods Community through the website LivingBranches.org or to Grandview Health Foundation at 700 Lawn Avenue, Sellersville, PA 18960 or the website GVH.org. Due to the current situation, we will be planning a Life Celebration to gather together and remember this wonderful man. More Information will follow.
