Carl Fuhrman M.D.

A corvette! Alas, his life was complete! Ed "The Sled" Schneider, Class of '71

I still think of Carl. A true gentleman.

Carl was a wonderful teacher. As a, medical student, resident, and fellow and attending cardiothoracic surgeon at the University of Pittsbuehr and UMPC Presbyterian (from 1979-1998) resident in Cardiothoracic Surgery at UPMC, I knew him very well, and interacted with him almost on a daily basis when I was a resident/fellow. He was a wonderful teacher. Thank you Carl for teaching us and for taking your time to go over those Xrays with no matter how busy you are. Rest in Peace, Carl.

Carl was my mentor and dear friend. He had an incredible sense of humor and a photographic memory. Most radiologists in the Pittsburgh area and many elsewhere owe a huge debt to Carl for his incredible teaching and passion for his craft. He made us better doctors. There are few people who have touch so many so deeply. He will be missed greatly for a long time.

Carl was the best radiologist I have ever encountered. He always gave of his time freely, and was happy to teach at a moments notice. He will be missed. -Dave

Dear Family of Carl. I knew Carl as a medical student, resident and faculty at UPMC. He was such a wonderful teacher and colleague. He was always kind and patient and absolutely loved teaching and sharing his knowledge. It is sad that so many patients have no idea how he must have impacted their lives with his diagnostic skills as a radiologist. I am sad I did not see him for the past many years prior to his death. I would love to have thanked him. Carl I am thinking of you and thank you for...

I will miss you along with all the others at Holy Spirit Byzantine Catholic Church. You were a big part of our Church family and sharing our Slovak traditions. We will miss all your home cooked meals you brought to many of our events, your Easter basket, singing, talks about your trips, helping change candles, and your assistance with all of our parishioners that needed medical advice. Much more to write about, but those are the most striking to me. Thanks for sharing your Life with us!

To the family of Carl, I would like to share my deepest sympathies to you all. As our golf-outing "reunions" continued over the last few years I got to speak with Carl more each time we gathered. He was always kind and enjoyed visiting. As classmates of the Class of 1970 from Prep and alumni of the University of Pittsburgh, I always felt a unique connection with Carl. I admired his position as a professor at Pitt Medical School and looked up to him as a fellow health care provider (I...

Mary Ellen, Carol, Barb and family...I will always remember visiting at your home and climbing the garage roof with Carl to pick dewberries! That and eating peirogies with my mother, your mother and all of you during the middle of the day when we had off from school and playing monopoly for hours. Those were treasured times. Carl had evolved into a fine human being and will be missed not only for his medical contributions, but his kindness and concern for others. Peace and love to you all.
