While we only met him a few times, it was a true pleasure to have done so. He was an interesting, kind, and wise man who obviously gave his family joy. Those who loved him were blessed, and they will continue to be blessed with his memory. His beloved Isabelle and the rest of his family are in our prayers.

Our family fondly remembers Dr. Eytinge as our long time family doctor. Mom still gives him credit for giving Dad a new life by diagnosing the source of his illness after others had overlooked it. Dad lived a happy 45 more years. Our sincere sympathy to his family at this time of loss. The Tauno Hendrickson family.

Margo, Barbara and Jonathan - So sorry to learn of your dad's passing. Our dads were great friends, with ours always referring to yours as "EJ." I have fond memories of being his patient as a young man, and of a few special outings on the Eytinge family boat. May he rest in well-deserved peace.
