UF FAMILY @SHANDS MISSING YOU

Dr Rhoton's educational triumph continues to instruct and inspire all who venture into the innumerable recesses of the brain. His light remains undimmed. -- Steve Lownie and Alan Chalil, MDs

Dr. Rhoton and me circa 1988

I had the privilege of working as Dr. Rhoton's operating room nurse coordinator in the 1980's at UF/Shands Hospital. He was a gracious and honorable man who referred to me as the attending nurse! I learned a lot from him and his quiet yet direct manner. If I did something wrong, he would say very quietly, "Now, Harry, I've told you this 3 times." And that would be enough.

I first met Dr. Rhoton at Shands when I consulted him for removal of a pituitary adenoma. My wife and I met him, and he spent the better part of 2 hours showing us around the hospital, explaining the procedure, and taking care of us. He was the epitomy of what I expected in a doctor.

I wish I had know this great man! I have seen his work in publishing "Rhoton Cranial Anatomy". I work with his son, who is one of the best neuro surgeon in Asheville. What a pleasure to work with his son at Mission Hospital. It is the surgeons like him which makes Mission Hospital. Loss of a father is deeply felt, and I hope his thoughts and love would get you all through this difficult times. He , will be remembered.

To the Rhoton Family, God bless you for sharing this wonderful man with the neurosurgery community, and the patients he treated. My family's thoughts are with you.

To Dr Eric Rhoton and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be keeping you all in my prayers, and I know your father was so proud of the wonderful and amazing man and neurosurgeon that you are. It was an honor to work for you, and your father's passing is a great loss to the medical field.

Dr Rhoton was a very good teacher. We are deeply sorry to hear his pass away.

To Dr. Eric Rhoton and all his family, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during your time of loss.
