My Dear Doctor David Paul Magnus was a Perfect Class Act Gentleman as well as Renowned Specialist...
The last time I saw Doctor was just before His Retirement. I always told Him what He meant to me, He said in return, "do you know who is my longest
Lasting surviving patient"?, I said no?, He said, You Conley ! :-), I then gave Dr. A Hug. I called every so often, He would always say call Me again in three months :-), the last call, Dr. Was happily waiting for His Sons arrival. .....
The first time I met Dr. Magnus was 1975, shortly after He came to Sacramento. I had three surgeries perform by Dr.:-), one at seventeen, nineteen and the last at age twenty-three for Testicular cancer.
My Dear Mother, who I lost in 2000, were both diagnosed three days apart., She refused to start Her journey, until I had my surgery. Dr. Magnus came out to speak to My Mom, She ask if She wad going to loose me, Dr. Said "Not on My Operating Table" ! He told my Mom not to worry, everything would be alright :-) ...well here I am at 58 years
MISSING MY DOCTOR MAGNUS, Remembering with Love and Ever Appreciation .......;) Always, Conley R. Greene .......
P.S. Love, Peace to His Dear Family

We are so sorry to hear our friend of many years, David Magnus has passed away. We send our condolences to the family and recall with a smile our many memories of him.

When we lived in Iowa City during residency, David would knock on the door to borrow our lawn mower or seed spreader. He always had a warm smile and happy words to greet us. Many busy hours were spent together in the halls of Iowa U hospital. Our daughter died of ML so we appreciate the struggle and heartbreak. our prayers to the family. Bob and Carmela Newstead

Sorry to hear about his death. He was a soft spoken and caring physician at MGH. I saw him at the physician lounge about 2 years ago. Just heard about his passing. My condolences...
