Paul A. Lange, MD, dedicated psychiatrist

Paul A. Lange M.D., 77, of Rehoboth Beach, passed away Saturday, Aug. 11, 2018, at his home. He was born June 26, 1941, in Chicago, Ill., son of the late Nathan and Dorothy (Santowsky) Lange.

Dr. Lange graduated from the University of Chicago School of Medicine with his medical degree and license in psychiatry. Following his education, he was drafted by the U.S. Army, in which he honorably served during the Vietnam War. Dr. Lange changed countless lives for the better as a psychiatrist in Washington, D.C., and later in Georgetown, retiring after 30-plus years of dedicated practice. He was a talented photographer and an avid golfer, and he loved going to the beach and being on the water, making Rehoboth Beach his permanent home in 2002. Above all, Dr. Lange was a family man, cherishing time spent with beloved family and friends. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, Dr. Lange was preceded in death by his brother, Roger Lange. He is survived by his wife of six years, Helen "Kit" Fenerty-Lange of Rehoboth Beach; his son, Robert Lange of Bethesda, Md.; his daughters: Jill Lange Liss and her husband Harrison of Denver, Colo., and Michelle Lange of Los Angeles, Calif.; his stepson, Timothy Shawn Fenerty of Huntington Valley, Pa.; his stepdaughter, Katelyn Nicole Fenerty of Bucks County, Pa.; and his grandchildren: Alexandra Lange and Nikki Lange.
