ALFRED JARETZKI

His work on aortic aneurysm replacement surgery benefited my mother because of those techniques he developed. Thank you so much, Doctor Jaretzki.

a great friend and colleague for many years

One of the great surgical clinicians of the Golden Age of Medicine. He and others at CPMC taught me, and molded me into a surgeon. Lessons in knot tying and O.R. draping of 43 years ago still seem like yesterday. Generations of students, residents, and patients were the beneficiaries of his knowledge, his skill, and his manner. My condolences to his family.

Fred was an historic figure in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. An advocate of thymectomy, his skillful surgical technique and his vast experience made him a pioneer. We enjoyed our mutual friendship with Luciano Pavarotti, his wife and his daughter, and remember the wonderful performances we attended together with Fred and Alexandra. With sincere condolences, Bud and Esther Rowland

Fred, you will be missed by your colleagues in the myasthenia gravis community. It was an honor to work with you.

An awesome mentor and role model

Love and many blessings, Calista

Our condolences on your loss, Love to you all, Nancy Cornish and Brad Williams

A great friend and mentor
