Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to the family on the passing of an amazing man who was so proud of children’s accomplishments. My prayers go out to all of you,

Working at St Margaret’s Hospital and also being my Doctor. Dr Figuerres was always a true gentleman and a soft spoken professional always. He earned the respect of everyone around him. He was a friend to all . To his beautiful wife Theresa and kids and grandkids my deepest sympathy on your loss of a great man who will be missed. Rest in Peace

I worked in the ER at SMH when Dr. Figuerres was there. He was kind and comforting with his patients and funny, kind, and caring of the people he worked with. He was a great physician and surgeon. I also had the privilege of being his neighbor for many years in Spring Valley. The family were the best neighbors ever! My sincerest sympathy to Theresa and family. You are all in my prayers.

Met him when he first came to Spring VAlley,at Dr.Davito;s office. Very genuien person later with patients,when he filled in at office. Peace to family,Prayers.

At the ER in Saint Margaret’s he fixed up my shoulder, broken while doing a wheelie north of DePue, on my Honda SL 125.

He said, “Big, brave, motorcycle rider, you and I will be seeing a lot of one another if you keep doing wheelies.”

He had a great sense of humor. Godspeed Doctor and thank you for that good advice, which I ignored of course, to my regret.

So sorry to hear about Dr Figuerres passing. My prayers and condolences.

Dr Figuerres was not only my Doctor, but I had the opportunity to work at St. Margaret's Hospital during his time there. He was so kind and patient. He listened to concerns. He always asked about my family. He was a great man and Doctor. I have only respect for him. My condolences to his wife and family.

I worked at the hospital years ago with Dr. He was an excellent Dr. and sweetest person ever. Best Surgeon
