Memories and Condolences
for Adolph Nachman

Not sure what to say?





Dr. Nachman was my pediatrician from the time I was six to the time I went off to college. He had a good sense of humor and was kind and caring. I'm in my forties now with my own children. Finding a pediatrician for my children was tough because s/he had to live up to the high expectations Dr. Nachman created for me. My condolences to his family.

Cathy and Robert:

My sincerest condolences on the passing of your father. I only met your father 3-4 times, but had some wonderful conversations with him regarding the 1919 White Sox Scandal. He was definitely a devoted Sox fan.

Dr. Adolph is what I called him as a lttle girl. He was kind and gentle and oh so carrying. Those were the day that Dr's made housecalls. Most kids feared their pediatrician but not me. I extend my deepest sympathies to you. I was Barbara Bass, now Gurevitz.
