ALAN SEYFER

Dr. Seyfer... A mentor, colleague and friend. Truly a man of faith, humanity and concern for others.

Quinn and I are deeply saddened to learn of Al´s passing. I enjoyed working with him @ OHSU. He was hard to keep up with. My best wishes to the family as they make their way forward. P

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I first knew Dr. Seyfer when he was the Chief of Plastic Surgery at the old Walter Reed (or "Walter Reed classic" as some of us prefer to call it) back when I was a general surgery intern in the mid-1980's. He had very high standards and could definitely be a tough taskmaster but he never asked anyone to do anything he wouldn't do himself, and no one was a more passionate advocate for his patients. He was a skilled and compassionate surgeon, and brought that same passion to teaching anatomy...

I worked with Al when he was a faculty member at USU. We were often paired together to work with students in the neuroanatomy labs and I really enjoyed working with him. His door was always open, he always had a smile for everyone, and he is missed. My sincere condolences to his family. Sharon Juliano

My heartfelt condolences to his wonderful family. I worked in the same department as Dr. Seyfer at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He was a gentleman, and such a great educator to many of our students.
My fondest and funny memories of him were when I'd help decorate his office in tin foil with the Army students when the Army vs. Navy football game was happening! He'd laugh, and was such a good sport!
The last time I saw him was last year at the Navy...

My condolences and prayers to Glenna and the family.
I was active duty Navy practicing Oto/HNS and applied to Plastic Surgery Programs. After my interviews I started getting phone calls from Dr. Seyfer (even in the OR) checking in to see if I had any more questions about the program at OHSU- letting me know my application was "one of the three applications on my desk- and it was on top". I came back to my home state to train. The program was exceptional and he had passion for the...

Dr. Seyfer was an incredibly friendly, warm and devoted teacher. I was lucky enough to have him as an anatomy instructor for my first year at USUHS, and enjoyed learning from him so much that I worked with him as a TA and in a surgical research capacity during my 4th year. He was always so excited to teach, and so humble while sharing his vast knowledge...always with a big smile. He will not be forgotten as his memory will live long into the future through his students - honestly I was...
