Almost 10 years and still much missed. You made a great impact on my life.

I was his patient for 22 years, from 1994 to 2015. I think he finally realized that dying was his only way out. Thanks, Dr. Newmark. It was quite a journey.

I can see by the posts that I am not the only one who still misses you--- I am in contact with your son, but less and less as we all grow older. What a fine man he is---very special.
You were there for me during a terribly troubled time. You even made me laugh.
I will never, ever "not" miss you.

I welcome this opportunity, to express some years after his passing, how much I still miss him. Off the charts intelligent, fall down laughing funny, and courageous-so very courageous.
Dr. Newmark's role in my 79 years stands out as major in its importance.
My best to his family.

a year has passed and, if anything, the 365 days have sharpened the loss. so many, many times when I needed your intelligence, your perception and your humor to get through a bad passage.what a lucky break to have had you in my life all those years. v

I went to Dr. Newmark for several years, and if I can share a "breakthrough": I stopped biting my nails after over a half-century of doing so. "Just put your hand down on a table for 30 seconds, and the [animalistic] urge will pass."

And there were other insights. I'm sad for his passing.

As a classmate of Mitchell's at Yale, I always admired his wit, dry humor, warmth, and ebullient spirit. He liked to introduce himself to new people as "Mitchell Vacuum Cleaner Newmark--the vacuum cleaner is silent."The last time I saw him was at graduation, but I've thought of him many times in the intervening years. Peace to his family.

Dr. Newmark was my doctor for many years. I marveled at his tenacity, his strength of intellect and character. I appreciated his attention and support. His own life is a model to live life fully. My sincerest condolences to his family.

You are still teaching me about how to cope with the struggle of chronic disease. Maybe more now than ever. Your magic touches me from the beyond.

I learned of Dr. Mitchell's passing through a touching story in the NY Times. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/06/09/the-architecture-of-psychotherapy/?smprod=nytcore-iphone∣=nytcore-iphone-share

He was my doctor years ago and was a great support. I will always value our work together.

For 22 years my life was blessed by Dr.Newmark. Sometimes I moved away, sometimes I left the country not expecting to return. But I could always find a way to call the office, even from a phone booth on my bicycle somewhere. And He would speak to me as if I had been sitting in that office chair just a week before. It's so hard to think I won't be sharing Our Borscht Belt humor that lightened my heart so much. He became my doctor at Beth Israel medical center & He stayed with all of us; as long as he possibly could. He was a great & gifted man. And a healer

Dr. Newmark was a great guy and a terrific doctor, I am lucky to have been a part of his life. My condolences to his family who he spoke of often.

For the 18 years during which Mitch Newmark was my doctor, I was always aware that someday I would call for an appointment and he wouldn't be there. That knowledge doesn't ease the pain of loss now that it has happened a month after his death. Of course I wasn't family, and I can't even claim to be his friend. I'm just one of his many patients, and not even the one he knew the longest, as is clear from the messages in this book. But his talent and dedication saved my life and his intelligence and humor enriched it. He's the only person I've ever known who could flip from sarcasm to compassion faster than I can. I depended on him and I loved him, and he leaves a void in my life that no other doctor will ever be able to fill.

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Newmark's family. For the 22 years I was a patient, I was witness to his most generous heart. He was a truly caring person, genuinely compassionate, extremely intelligent. I will miss him greatly.

I've been a patient of Dr. Newmark's since April 2013. He was a remarkable human being, and a wonderful doctor. He was beyond generous with his time and his advice. I've never had a Psychiatrist who was so caring that he also acted as a psychoanalyst to make sure that he gave as much help as possible. He had a great sense of humor, and it as a pleasure to be with him. My sincere condolences to his family.

My counselor, mentor and liferaft for many years.

The epitome of dignity. The incarnation of resiliency.

Keats said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever; it will never pass into nothingness."

A noble man has been lifted to the white clouds.

Sincerest condolences to the Newmark family and empathy to his friends and patients.

Most of all, he was a friend of mine.

Mitchell Newmark was a blessing,comfort, strength to my soul and an absolute joy to be near. I would double over laughing at his brilliant wit. He made me radiantly happy, just by sitting and talking with me. I will miss him everyday. Deepest condolences to his wonderful family. He was a gifted, empathetic man who gave endlessly of himself to all of us. No words can express the endless kindnesses Dr. Mitchell Newmark gave to hundreds of lives.

Impossible to believe. A support for over 25 years. The human race, at its best. Devoted husband and father. He loved you all so much. Always my go-to man for a laugh in dark times. He leaves a hole in the universe. Victoria L
