I had the great honor and pleasure to work with Ian in the 80s, as a new nurse in SICU and in the OR and the again in 2001-2013. I will always remember his laughter that could turn a bad mood around. His good nature was contagious and necessary. I will miss him. I know he is making The Angels laugh right now. Thank you for your friendship.

I just want to share with the Rosenberg family what a great guy Ian was. You typically don't know what an impact your dad, husband, loved one makes in the workplace. I've been at A G H for 31 years...Ian was the first person to speak to me. His humor and warmth was imeasurable. He was a beautiful soul and will be greatly missed...RIP Ian

What can you say about this great friend in and out of the OR?Kind,considerate,great sense of humor,and admired by all who had the priviledge to work with him at AGH.So ironic,all the patients he helped thru their "heart surgery" at his profession,that he would succumb to the disease.Just to see his photo makes me smile:many years as a OR tech in heart surgeries...he would tell me I was older than God's dog..and one day asked me if I served at The Last Supper!Some days you needed that humor!He was loved,and will be missed..Rest in Peace my friend.Prayers to Theresa ,and children,and the family....

Dear Rosenberg Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your loved one. I have loss count of the number of years I have known and worked with Ian. He was a wonderful man and anyone that knew Ian will remember his warm heart and his tremendous sense of humor. I will miss seeing Ian in the hallways of AGH. Although his ray of sunshine is gone, fond memories will remain of the gentle giant with a smile to warm the hearts of all the lives he touched.
Rest In Peace Ian.

I am sorry for your loss, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Ian at Allegheny General for many enjoyable years in the SICU and Cath Lab. He made our worst days better, with his sense of humor and assistance with our patients. Ian was one of the people I always hoped to run into whenever I walked the halls of AGH. He will be truly be missed.
Sincerely,

Dear Rosenberg Family,
You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy. I worked for many years with Ian at AGH back in the 80's and 90's and I will never forget him. I do not believe that there are enough wonderful adjectives to describe him. Ian was loved and respected by everyone who knew him. He worked hard and was a true joy to be around. He made everyone around him feel his warmth and humor. He was one of those rare friends that will remain in the forefront of great memories.
