At 83 years of age, Dr. Barry F. Sachs completed a life filled with adventure and purpose -- to learn, teach, help, comfort and inspire. He was a pediatric surgeon by trade and an insatiable learner by nature. He never turned down an invitation to attend theater or sign up for a course or...

I have worked in the operating room for more than 50 years, starting way back when at Baystate Medical Center. Dr. Sachs was without a doubt my favorite person to work with. I have so many wonderful memories.

I recently came to learn of Dr.Sachs demise, as I came across Dr. Courtney's obituary. He was a wonderful man who was exceptional at his craft. I had Leukemia and was treated under the watchful eyes of Jack Kelleher,which found me in this exceptional doctors operating table. To his family,they have truly lost a trailblazer in the world of surgery,and by the sounds of it,he was the same type of husband and father. Thank you Dr.Sachs for your continued care and compassion that helped me through...

Dear Carol and all your family,
We are so sorry to hear this about Barry
and want to express our heartfelt sympathy to you. How we loved our talks with him, when walking in the neighborhood. Our mutual love and admiration of Siberian Huskies and Malamutes was often a topic of conversation, as you know. It was a pleasure seeing you and Barry coming around the corner with the dogs, then getting to visit with the two of you. We have missed you and now realize why. Our positive thoughts...

I have just learned that this brilliant man has passed. Dr. Sachs was a man that mere words can do no justice. He was an amazing humble man, who gave of himself to so many.
He was not only a skilled surgeon, but a calm presence that was soothing to his patients and their families. They loved him.
I worked on the Pediatric floor of Springfield Hospital, now Baystate Medical Center for more that 20 years, and Dr. Sachs would often single me out to make rounds with him. He...
