Stanley A. Beloff, 86, a podiatrist

Dr. Stanley A. Beloff's world turned on a dual axis: family and feet. Starting in the 1950s, he maintained a podiatry practice in his house on Snyder Avenue in South Philadelphia, allowing him to begin work at 8 a.m. and still be at it at 8 p.m. without missing a meal with his wife and children. Little Beloffs in PJs ran through the waiting room.
