Man of integrity, Man of faith, Man of purpose and a Man who will surely be missed. Certain people have the ability to leave an indelible mark on your life and Dr. Gamrath was one of those people in my life.

Dr. Gamrath saved our dad's life! When Dad's appendix burst, Dr. Gamrath's quick response and surgical expertise saved him from certain death due to peritonitis. He stood by our family as Dad fought the battle to survive. When I contracted a severe case of flu, he made several house calls (almost unheard of even in the 1960's) to administer medication to me, . He was a truly caring person, instilling complete confidence in his patients. We were blessed to know him.

Any time spent with Jim left me uplifted. He was so interesting and interested. His kind and generous nature will be missed.

Dr Gamrath was my Dr from the time I was 17 years old - 1959. He then became my Mothers Dr -Her name was Jessie Wilson. He delivered my first child Janell Simpson at Standring Hospital in 1962 and my second child Lisa Simpson in 1965 at Seattle General I believe it was called. Since then Lisa has passed away way too early from stage 4 Lung Cancer. She lived a miraculous 2 years after diagnosis. He was part of our family in our hearts and never failed to be there when I called for an appointment no matter how small a problem. I have a few touching stories - one of the best my daughter ate some berries from a tree. I drilled her pretty much to determine she actually ate them and then called Dr Gamrath. He was out of the office but called me right back. He described the tree in great detail and I said how do you know that was the tree? What it is? He answered dryly "I am looking right at one in my yard - it's loaded with red berries and they and they are a crabapple. Not to worry ". About 3 years ago I wrote him a letter and he responded within a week or so. I was thrilled that he wrote me -it was a warm and fuzzy feeling to hear he remembered me and my Mom. Unfortunately we had a house fire shortly thereafter and I do no longer have the letter. He was an important person in my life and I'm sure in many others lives too. He baptized my first child Janell the night she was born, was there during so many years of our lives as a family. I'm sure he is skiing or hiking up in a better place now with strong legs and body. We will remember him and send our thoughts to you the family he cherished during his life. Find strength in his memories !
