Alfred A. de Lorimier M.D.

Hello to Dr. D's family members, Am very sad to hear that Dr. D has passed. I was a patient of his for a number of years at UCSF in the early 90's. He was such a Great doctor to me and took Fantastic care of me. Bless you for taking care and treating me. Frank Wong - San Francisco

I was saddened to learn of Dr. D's passing. I lived in Crescent City, Ca. and my oldest son Joseph Gates was born in 1963; a premie with a huge umbillical hernia. When he was 18 months old, Dr. D took on the task of repairing with a new procedure. It took over a year and many surgeries later, but I had a normal healthy little boy. Dr. D told me if it would have been 5 years earlier, the outcome would have been very different. He never knew how greatful I was. He was a fine man and the best...

Dear Dr. D.
I had the greatest pleasure to manage your tasting room from 1994 - 2000. The times we spent together are unforgettable! Your spirit is alive and well.

You were so much fun at my birthday party, when you and Sandy gave me a beautifully wrapped present...it was your dirty vineyard worn socks! You said I could sell anything. Wish I could have told you how much I appreciated your confidence in me.

So many good times,
Kimberly Wright- (Craig)

Hello,

My condolences go out to the family of this wonderful doctor, and prince of a man. He was the doctor of my son, Jeffrey, at UCSF in the 1970s. He had biliary atresia and many, many problems. Dr. de Lorimier did his best for my son, and kept me sane. Jeffrey died on 10/17/79. I have thought of his doctor often and just decided to look him up. I had hoped to talk with him at the vineyard one day. Blessings to the family of this wonderful man, who gave up so much so that he...

My first meeting with Dr.deLorimier occured in the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery. He had recently returned to UCSF and was called to consult on one of our tiny premies. He was so gentle with this baby that I knew we had a surgeon who would make a difference in all our lives. He was a good friend and loved by all the nurses. Teresa Mannix Poirier, RN

My thoughts go out to everyone whose lives were touched by this remarkable man. I had cancer 45 years ago and it was by his hand that I am still alive today. He will be deeply missed.

Al and Sandy were not just friends but respected colleagues. It was my pleasure to be a junior resident at UCSF with Al, and I am sure that many of my skills, life-saving adventures and triumphs came from his teaching, example and dedication to excellence. Surgery and mankind has lost a real human being.
