I was thinking of Dr. Steinhardt today and so I looked him up and saw this. I am 52 years old. He was my pediatrician in the early 1980's when I was a teen. I always remember him as comforting when I was sick. Miss him being around. I still imagine him the way he was in 1982-84

Dr. Steinhardt was not only my pediatrician, but helped me as a parent with my own son. I can never repay he and Rosemary their kindness and wisdom and friendship as an adult. I am sorely missing Doc. and am so saddened by his passing. My prayers go to his children and wife, Rosemary.
