From 1972 to 1983, he was director of life sciences for University Patents Inc. (now CTT) of Fairfield, Conn., working to license and bring to market new medical and veterinary devices and systems invented by academic scientists at various universities, including Arizona, Case Western Reserve, Chicago, Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.
In Weston, Conn., where he and his family lived for more than three decades, Dr. Haberman in 1982 founded H & H Consultants Inc. with his wife, the former Mary Holcomb, continuing to advise scientists, inventors, academic institutions, marketing and pharmaceutical companies.
His clients included the Cornell University Research Foundation. He continued his consulting work after moving to Sierra Vista, Ariz., in 1989. The family relocated to Bethel in 2004.
Theater was Dr. Haberman’s lifelong avocation and passion. In 1956 he co-founded the Westport Community Theatre, chairing its board for two years and directing many of its productions over subsequent decades. Throughout his life, he relished opportunities to mentor young people in his twin interests of theater and medicine.
He grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., studied at the state agricultural institute at Farmingdale, N.Y., and then received BS and DVM degrees from Cornell University in 1945 and 1946. He spent two years as a game pathologist in Ithaca, N.Y., for the New York State Department of Conservation before moving to Los Angeles, Calif. There he worked by day as a meat inspector for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, while writing and collaborating on musical, play and radio scripts by night. He also authored two “how to” books for Prentice-Hall, on veterinary medicine for farmers and poultry raising. He subsequently served three years as a captain in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, assigned to Fort Slocum, N.Y.
Dr. Haberman is survived by his wife; Mary: four children, Nancy Jo Cravalho (Edward) of Aptos, Calif., Elizabeth Meadows (Edward Easter) of Charlotte, N.C., Jonathan (Anne Dullea) of Washington, D.C., and Margaret Haberman (Landon Fake) of Bethel; and six beloved grandchildren.
