Dr. Louis S. Bortnick

Dr. Louis S. Bortnick of Hingham passed away peacefully at his home on May 24, 2023 after a brief illness.

He is survived by his wife Elaine, with whom he shared 65 years of marriage.  He was the beloved father of Karen Bortnick, Robert Bortnick and Lisa Bortnick Noble and cherished grandfather of Michael Bortnick, Anna Bortnick, Dana Noble and Isaac Noble.   Family meant everything to Lou.

Lou had a successful career as a general dentist serving the South Shore community.  He was a proud graduate of Williams College and Harvard School of Dental Medicine.  In addition to his role as a father, husband and dentist, he was also a longtime coach and mentor at Camp Alton in Wolfeboro, NH.

Louis was also an extraordinary advocate for animal rights and protection and was devoted to his golden retrievers.  It is the family’s wish that memorial tributes be made in the form of charitable donations to an animal charity of their choice.

Funeral services are private.
