Not sure what to say?

My wife and I were just thinking about Dr. Clark. We wanted to contact him. We are devistated to learn that he passed away.
We met Dr. Clark when our second child was diagnosed, in-utero, with a virtually unknown genetic defect. It was a tough time for my wife and I. no one could tell us what to expect...
He probably thought he shouldn't say it but, Dr. Clark brought us great comfort when he said... "if I had to guess, late in walking and talking." He hit it exactly. She was...

Dear Connie, Emily, Christopher & Geoffrey, I was crushed yesterday learning from Roy Greenberg of your husband's/father's passing. He was my OB & delivered our twins in 2004. Emily, we met at his office & my kids were the basket O'babies Easter picture you liked. He gave us the most attentive, awesome care. Connie, we hosted you both at Jim Brickman concert as our post-delivery thank you. Christopher, when I read in Jan 2010 about your biz I emailed your dad and we had planned together...

I was so sorry to learn of Brian's passing. I worked with him at the Cleveland Clinic. He was, by far, the most supportive and encouraging boss I ever had. He helped me in so many ways during my time there and I always cherished my time working with him. I was able to visit him while his was in Pittsburgh at one point (where I am from and was visiting) and am so glad that I had the opportunity to see him once more. I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

I worked with Dr. Clark in Pittsburgh and he was a wonderful support to our cancer genetics program. He was a sincere and caring person. He will be missed by all his colleagues.

Connie, Chris, Emily, and Geoff, I worked for Dr. Clark for 3 years at the Cleveland Clinic in Medical Genetics. Dr.Clark was truly amazing and had inspired everyone who had the pleasure of working with him. Dr. Clark gave me many opportunities that have led to my success. He believed in me and encouraged me to go back and finish school. I wouldn't be where I am at today if it wheren't for Dr. Clark. I am eternally gratefull and will miss him.

To the Clark family: I had the greatest pleasure of working with Brian at the Cleveland Clinic. I am an RN who worked the L&D unit (1995-2005). The one day that impressed me most was the day we worked together during the 9-11 crisis. Brian and I spent time together glued to the small tv in the nurse's lounge. We fortunately didn't have any patients in labor. Brian stayed on the unit, mostly out of support for the staff working. As nurses, we were notified that we were required to stay past...

Connie, Emily, Chris and Geoff:
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We have such fond memories of "Dr. Clark" making house calls when the kids were sick. And at our most difficult moments, Brian was always there to guide us. He was such a special person who definitely molded who we are today. He will be missed by all of us. Our love to all of you.

Connie and children, I was Brian's secretary his first pass at Metro. Brian was always a kind,generous and sympathetic physician. He truly was a great boss. I don't think he ever had a bad day. He loved his children very much and was always was concerned about them. I will miss him very much, but I know that I now have an angel watching over me.

Dear Connie, Emily, Chris and Geoffrey, Our deepest sympathy to all of you on the passing of your beloved husband and father. May your many friends and family help you during this time. We have fond memories of Brian as a brilliant and kind man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Epprecht Family
