I am dishearten with the news of the passing of Dr.Paul Satz and Mrs. Satz (Gladys)whom I consider my second family. You both mean the world to me and I love you both!

I'll share three things about Dr. Satz. The first is that, for a fellow with such an academic pedigree, he really was unpretentious. The second is that he was a great competitor in tennis. I loved our weekend battles. The third is that his love for his family was pretty evident - he always loved talking about his kids.

After casual contacts during other conventions, I first met Paul in Gainesville where he practiced his "family relationship" with his graaduate students. We then went to one of the first INS meetings in Tampa - we all still fitted into one medium-sized meeting room.
Later, Paul joined us in Victoria, B.C., where he continued his research and his family relationship mcu to the benefit of our graduate students. We all regretted very much when he moved on to LA.
Paul was a friend, a dedicated researcher, and a pioneer in the field. I will never forget him.

I was a UCLA-NPI psychiatry resident in 1981, when Dr. Satz joined the faculty there. All residents were responsible for a Grand Rounds clinical presentation. We often invited faculty to discuss the patient we would present. Another faculty member mentioned Paul was new to UCLA and might be interested being involved. I will never forget the incredible impression he made on all of those faculty and students in attendance. His talk about my patient and her schizophrenia was a highlight of my training at UCLA. He definiely had star power and was a wonderfully warm person as well.

I was very sorry to hear the sad news of Paul's passing. While at the fellowship (1991-1993) I was in awe of his knowledge, amazed at his work ethic, and appreciative of his generosity in sharing research opportunities with students, fellows and colleagues. As many others mentioned, it was amazing to sit in on a deposition while he formulated answers to attorney's less-than-clear questions. His contributions will continue to be appreciated for many years to come. Thanks, Paul.

I was fortunate to complete a post-doctoral fellowship at UCLA from 1986 to 1988. Paul was a wonderful mentor; his personality larger than life. I flew into L.A. from buttoned-down Boston to interview and was recovering from a flu when Paul noticed my left-handedness and asked me to take off my shoes so he could measure my feet. By the end, this proved to be the most unusual and entertaining interview of my life.
I will cherish memories of Paul Satz forever: Watching him testify in court about someone who sustained a gun shot wound to the head, eating Vietnamese food in Pasadena, noticing an animal skin draped over the back of his chair, and listening to Paul reminisce at PAR dinners.
He had a knack for making everyone feel special.

I remember my first meeting with Paul, before starting fellowship with him at UCLA's NPI. I'd heard of the man (who hadn't if you were in the field of Neuropsychology), but never met him. We talked about a research project I was hoping to get started and he wanted me to look at a paper he'd been an author on a couple of years back. He said "have Jim get you a copy of my CV" and encouraged me to look up the exact reference to get the article in question. I leave the meeting and go to Paul's lead assistant at the time, Jim, and ask for a copy of Dr. Satz's CV ... Jim takes out this monstrosity of a document, well over 75 pages, and plops it in my hands .. "here you go", he says. I walk away simply dumbfounded. "Can anyone have possibly produced this much", I'm thinking.
Well, over the next several years, fellowship and beyond, I come to find out that his productivity is actually much harder to quantify. The students he mentored, the ideas and theories he championed (reserve!), and perhaps most impressively, the "family" he built at UCLA, is a testimony to a very productive life, fully lived.

I regret I can’t attend the memorial and want to thank the people who have kept this website going. I was very fortunate to work closely with Paul during my two years as a post-doc (1992-1994). He was very effective at passing onto others his love of neuropsychology and especially using research as a basis for clinical work. During my first year as a post-doc I met with him about child/adolescent cases at Camarillo State Hospital. It could have been intimidating for these children to meet with the Dr. Satz at his large office there at Camarillo but Paul was quick to put them at ease with his smile and relaxed, joking manner. The experience was a very positive one for those kids and I learned from watching Paul interact with them. I will miss seeing him at INS conference and it’s helpful to know his influence continues to live on in the work of the many neuropsychologists he trained. My sympathy and condolences to his family and his large UCLA neuropsychology family.

My colleague, Jim Stonich and myself shared administrative responsibilities in the UCLA Neuropsychology Department through 1997, during one of the most challenging decades in the history of California and consequently UCLA. I remember Dr. Satz's verbal questions that were thought-provoking and insightful resulting in a collaborative effort to improve learning disability accomodations for students at the high-school level and college level. My deepest respect and sympathy is expressed to Dr. Satz's entire extended family upon the passing of both Dr. and Mrs. Paul Satz. Their gracious hospitality, strength, and encouragement extended to everyone beyond our tenure will always be remembered.

I was a fellow with Paul at UCLA from 1998 to 2000. His mentorship and teaching laid the foundation for my subsequent career development. I remember with great fondness the many hours Paul and I spent together in the basement of NPI, interviewing patients, discussing cases, swapping stories, and chuckling at the irony we saw in the world around us. Paul's personal warmth was perhaps the most precious of his many fine qualities.

Getting ready to attend the Memorial Tribute for Paul Satz I noticed this page.
I have kown Paul for 40 year. In 1971 I met him and Sara Sparrow (who passed away a few days before Paul) at the Pedological Institute of Dirk Bakker in Amsterdam. He interviewed me for a post-doctoral position and in 1972 I travelled to Gainesville with my wife and 7 weeks old doghter. During that time Art Benton asked Paul to organize an indipendent (independent from the APA meeting) meeting of the International Neuropsychological Society. As usual with Paul he told me to arrange the meeting with Marcel Kinsbourne. We got 50 papers and Paul said just accept all of them. So in two days we had 50 10 minutes presentations. We had 100 participants. So one can see what can be accomplished from this small start in Februari 1973 in New Orleans. My family and myself have been blessed by the fact that we have been part of the Satz family for 40 years.
When I got the message that Paul passed away I amazed myself when I realised I did not feel sad but filled with all kinds of good and pleasant memories.

I will always remember the kindness shown to me by Paul as I came to UCLA in the 1990s. A brilliant and kind man, a wonderful mentor. I've never met anyone with the interpersonal skill he had; he once provided feedback to a patient with a severe personality disturbance in a way that made her come out of the meeting feeling happy with her diagnoses. I've missed him in the years since leaving UCLA and will now miss seeing him at conferences as well. So sad, but a life well lived and a legacy of which I think he must be proud.

In 1995, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime when Paul agreed to be the supervisor on my doctoral thesis. At the time I was spending my sabbatical year away from my South African University working as a research fellow in the UCLA Division of Neurosurgery Brain Injury Research Progamme. From the moment I met Paul he took me under his wing, and the warmth and kindness extended to me by both him and Gladys, contributed significantly to what I consider to have been one of the best years of my life. My academic association with Paul has been of inestimable value to me in my career, and for this I am eternally grateful. However, there was the human side of Paul that made me feel just as honoured, such as being called upon to babysit Mishka, and being telephoned early in the morning to share an anecdote about one of her amusing antics. He had a generosity of heart and spirit that was quite extraordinary, and once in his orbit one was left in no doubt that this was forever. I am so grateful that after some years of having no contact, we spoke on the phone earlier this year. It is very hard to accept that he is no longer here. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to his family and close friends at the devastating loss of such a fine man. It is with regret that I will not be present at his memorial service.

I was a lowly clerk and grad student when I met Paul. I was being supervised by two great post-docs (Dave Herzberg and Delaney Thrasher). I mostly scored batteries but got to sit in on feedbacks (which I agree were great) and didactics. This one training year was actually the only time I ever worked with Paul directly.
The amazing thing is that in that time Paul learned my name, offered to help me with some of my research questions, and continued to know me from that day forward. He always recognized me at INS and asked how I was doing (with a little peck on the cheek of course). :)
And this is what I loved about Paul. He treated "lowly grad students" with respect and in the spirit of collegiality. This is a rare and beautiful act of kindness, not only in our field but in the human race. I will treasure him in my heart even as I miss his presence amongst us.

Paul and I shared an inside joke for years and years. Whenever we would see each other at a conference, we’d make eye contact or he’d waggle his finger at me and then just say “Pants!” and we’d share a good laugh. Once, at INS Cincinnati or somewhere, he was ascending an escalator whilst I was on the descent and we simultaneously pointed at each other saying “Pants!” - much to the confusion of others.
One day when I was a graduate student in Victoria, his assistant walked up with me with a receipt to sign. I did, not knowing what it was about. It turned out to be a faculty business report; his assistant misidentified me for the faculty member who was distributing it for comment.
Later that day, Paul walked into our class wearing a pair of pants so wildly colorful and patterned that it would bring attention to any man from a hundred yards away. As if Paul in his daily life needed anything more than himself to garner the attention of others!
After class, I made haste to an office with some hospital letterhead and a faux physician’s name, typing a memo to Dr. Satz with a warning that someone was stalking the halls of the Cornett Bldg wearing a potentially epileptogenic pair of patterned pants and, indeed, the pants already had bedazzled one victim, who now kept going around mistaking people for one another. The next day, of course, having read the memo at the top of his desk and then dealing with an apologetic assistant not knowing why Risser the graduate student had signed off on his copy of a faculty document, he tracked me down with the loudest laugh and that most gleeful devilish smile that characterized him then and throughout the years after.

He was a larger than life character whose influence on others personally and professionally will continue on in perpetuity. I had the good fortune to work with Paul as a pre-intern, UCLA neuropsych fellow, and in the Pasadena practice with Lou. He gave me my chance. I am eternally grateful for having known him. He continues to be a model for many aspects of my professional work (not just research, but also including his clinical feedback sessions which were unlike any other mentor), and I will continue to think of him often. When I tried to explain him to others who did not know him I end up saying he was the Frank Sinatra of neuropsychology. Says it all I think. Thank you Paul.

I first met Paul when I had just received my BA in Psychology in 1964 and he hired me to help him in his new consultation service at the University of Florida Shands Teaching Hospital. Little did I know that our lives would remain intertwined through work, graduate school and later when Paul went to Victoria and I was asked "to take his place" as the only clinical neuropsychologist at Florida. He was a tremendous scientist, humanist,humorist,mentor, father and husband. He is deeply missed as is his wife Gladys. My last phone conversation with Paul was filled with his intentions to deal with his cancer as he had lived his life: to enjoy the remaining time he had by writing, eating well and riding his bike as far as he was able. He was very dear to me and I feel bad that I cannot make the journey to his memorial service. He will be missed as a person but his thinking and energy live on in his work and in the lives of so many others that he touched.

It has long been my belief that the field of neuropsychology is so special not simply because of the research and ideas upon which it is founded, but because of the special people who served as role models for its development. Paul's presence always will be felt by me, by my colleagues, and by future generations of neuropsychologists for shaping the evolution of our field in so many ways. He was a critical and novel thinker with the guts to challenge traditional approaches he perceived as archaic. Of equal importance, Paul was a class act and a role model. I will forever be grateful for having known him and for having shared many happy collegial moments over the years.

As I was wandering around trying to find a way to upgrade my skills in neuropsychology during the 1970s Paul made himself available for mentoring and consultation whenever the need arose. We later collaborated on an airline pilot project--he was always available and always wanted to add more to the project research than what was initially requested--but that was Paul--you always got what you wanted plus more.

Love you Pablo!!

One of the things Paul taught me was to use the summary section in our so often technical and data driven reports to really say something, to express findings in a "human" and, at times, moving fashion. Now I sit trying to summarize my thoughts about Paul and words fail me. Saying farewell to such a great man is so difficult. Paul's pursuit of knowledge, zest for life, and relentless spirit were always incredible. Especially in recent months and years he truly gave life his best to the very end. His legacy is rich professionally and personally. So many friends, family members, and colleagues grieve his loss. His prolific work has surely influenced every neuropsychologist in practice today. I recall being asked to fax his CV for a case and putting in a call ahead of time just to be sure that the machine was fully loaded with a new ream of paper! It is so difficult to say, "Goodbye" to such a great man. I miss you Paul, can't quite believe you are gone, and will remember you always.

My deepest condolences go to the family of a great man. I was so saddened by the news of his passing. I remember the first time I met Paul. I needed a supervisor for my dissertation and Paul came highly recommended. I only knew his work and felt so nervous meeting with him. I remember walking in his office feeling so intimidated but soon discovered that under the powerful aura was a gentle man with a big heart. A man who loved life, his family, and his career. He took pride in his family - Gladys, his children, and his grandchildren. I will forever miss those days. I guess I just thought he'd be around forever... Paul, you have made me a better scientist. Thank you for taking me under your wing and teaching me so much. I will miss you.

This is Grace's second poem to "Pablo" This poem was written on May 16, 2010. Grace read this poem to Paul on our last night with him as well.
"Wisconsin
Cold winter days greet me as I wander into the icy paradise of Wisconsin. The snow covered pine trees sway lightly in the breeze as snowflakes drift down from the sky like angels coming from heaven. Deer prance in the meadows and leave small footprints leading into the woods. A frail tabby cat sleeps soundly by the glowing fireplace to keep warm from the cold winter night. Smoke flows from chimney tops as families light their fires to get ready for the long night ahead of them. All animals return to their homes and fall asleep awaiting the next winters day."
Grace is 11 years old. I think that these poems were her way of saying goodbye to this kind and gentle "giant."

A Poem Written for "Pablo" from Grace Mellor (11 years old) on 02/18/10
"As the sound of waves flow through my head I smell the crisp, salty, ocean air as it renews my senses and clears all of the days thoughts, leaving me feeling like a white board that has just been erased and is now clean and ready to use again. The smooth sand feels warm and welcoming on my feet just like the comforts of home. Seagulls glide above my head singing and flying back to their nests for the night. I take a seat with a clear view of the sky and watch the sunset as the radiant show of yellows and oranges mix together as if the sun is expressing its feelings of the day. Soon the moon takes its shift announcing that the day has ended. Stars light up the sky around me and I feel as though Im seeing the world for the first time. I find it is getting late and start to head home. It only takes several minutes to feel like a new person."
My daughter wrote this poem as she knew her "Pablo" loved the ocean. Grace longed to take him to the beach someday here in California. She read this poem to Paul in February and then again, along with another poem, on Tuesday night June 15. Paul then talked with our Gracie for about ten minutes. He told Grace how "special" she was and that she would be a "writer" some day. I will never forget that tender moment.

Thanks to him that he lived to make a difference in the scientific world! Paul thanks for all your knowledge, your personality and intellect. One thing is sure; "You fulfilled the role of making a difference in this world with all you gave to this world".

Paul and Gladys were friends, neighbors, and travel companions during their final years in Oxnard, Ca. I was unaware of Paul's death but have been thinking of both he and Gladys and decided to try and locate him on the internet as we have lost touch recently. Reading the comments from others brings back vivid memories of them both. They were the entertainers in our neighborhood bringing together old and new friends during the holidays to enjoy a sumptious buffet and Paul's crazy humor.We traveled with them on the QMary2,and again on the Ryandam a few years later. Paul walked the deck like a crazy person every day, ate everything, and danced the night away with us as accomplices. Whenever we have our first drink aboard ship we toast Paul and Gladys. We will miss them greatly but cherish the memories, and I will still hear Paul playing piano when I sit on our deck.

I came to work with Paul as the first ever Satz Fellow at UCLA, under Bob Bilder's new tenure there. For me, Paul was first and foremost a kind heart, even when engaging me in scientist-practitioner discussions about neuropsychology on an intellectual level. He and Gladys, along with dog Mischa, opened their home to me and other fellows and our spouses, and I know that my experience around their table was one in a long line of those brought into their hospitality and his mentorship. I am a bit surprised at just how much I miss him and how emotional I am, given knowing of his battle against cancer for the past few years. I do smile, though, to think of the practical joker part of Paul -- to which I fell victim despite warnings and stories by others that he'd try to get me. He was often a bit like a Shakespearean imp (with Lou D'Elia being so neutral and enabling of that, alongside =)). At the Irish Pub in Pasadena, he went to the bathroom during one work lunch. Upon returning, just before the waiter brought the food, he asked me with (feigned) concern what I had ordered. I said fish&chips with fries, and he said he'd just seen the cook scoop such a dish off the floor and put it back on the plate as Paul had walked past the kitchen. This was said just before and as my plate was put on the table, and he waited another few seconds during my disgusted silence before his grin and laugh let me in on it. I vowed to get him back with my own joke. I was never able to; he was too wary, too much of an old-hand. I did get to speak with him by phone a month or so ago, and he was so happy staying with Karen Schiltz (bless your heart), and always the scientist, talked animatedly about the treatment trials he was to complete soon, touting the intelligence of the researchers. I think, when we love what we have been so lucky to do for a living, those who have been such a part of helping us to get where we are and do it well have a special place in our hearts and minds. Pretty incredible to think of how many of us were touched and supported by Dr. Satz in that way. So many of us miss him, and honor him in what we do.

I am profoundly saddened to hear of the passing of one of the most influential individuals in my graduate career. I have many fond memories and embarassing photographs to cherish. One memory involves Sarah Sparrow, who we also sadly lost in recent days. Sarah came back to visit UF and was in the testing clinic with a stack of photographs she had taken. Most of them contained a crescent moon-shaped orange item on the right side. Paul flipped through the photos and asked Sarah what that item was that appeared in so many photos. Sarah replied, "thats my finger. I kept getting it on the lens!" Paul just roared. I can still hear that laugh. I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to spend time with Paul at the last INS meeting in Atlanta. I will miss Paul teribly.

Paul's work was one of the earliest influences on me in child neuropsychology. I learned a great deal from reading his longitudinal and other research with children, and respected him, initially from afar, as an early clinical and research neuropsychologist. I was later fortunate to benefit from his brief time in Victoria, where his support and training helped me become a professional neuropsychologist also. Paul was definitely a unique individual who could liven up any discussion, and who knew and shared many aspects of the field with his students. I am saddened to hear of his passing, but I retain many fond memories of him and will retain his positive influences.

My earliest memory of Paul Satz involved his explaining to me what he thought he had got wrong in designing a landmark, highly regarded study of reading. At the time, I remember being astounded that someone so famous could be so matter-of-fact about his mistakes and so passionate about how they might be corrected. At the end of his life, he retained the same passion for knowing, for getting it as right as possible, that he had shown 35 years earlier. You were a class act, Paul, and thank you for showing us by example that our science should be done with grace and passion.

I came to Florida specifically to study with Paul as an intern in 1975. Needless to say, he became a major influence in my life, my way of thinking, and has been a wonderful colleague and friend ever since. I miss him very much and think of him often. We are all poorer without him.

My Friend Paul Satz is gone. From the time we first moved to Gainesville, Paul made us and many others feel welcome. His door was always open.
In addition to being a wonderful friend to many, Paul was also a world class teacher as well as mentor to many and he trained many of today's leading neuropsychologists. He was one of the leaders in the devopment of child neuropsychology.
He also is responsible for many important research contributions.
Paul always had a smile on his face, had a great sense of humor, and made those around him feel euphoric. For example, years ago Paul, Bob Watson and I were going to a meeting in Warrington Virginia. We stopped at this truck stop that had a dinner. We walked in and sat at the counter. A woman with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth asked, "What do you want?" Paul asked, "What is the speciality of the house?" She said, "Eggs over light with bacon." He said, "Can we also see the wine list."
Paul was a special gift to many. He had a full life, but I like many people who knew him well, will miss him...but I still feel blessed that I had an opportunity to work and spend time with him.
Thank you Paul!

Paul and I go back many years. He was one of the founders of our field and among its most articulate spokesman. I remember sitting on committees with him, attending his presentations and just talking to him. He was an interesting and creative man who made major contributions to our field of science and profession. He will be missed.
