Charles Nechemias

My condolences to Didi. We attended the Brandeis School together in elementary school. I remember you and Charles, your dear brother who had a wonderful sense of humor in a caring way. I am not surprised that he became a beloved physician. Suzanne Rashbaum Selby

I am deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Nechemias's passing. He was my doctor for over 20 years until his retirement last year. He was the most caring physician and was more accessible to his patients than most. In my years on this earth, I have not met anyone else with the same level of compassion, caring, and giving.

With much sadness I say goodby to Charles. We were fraternity brothers at Columbia, I was an usher at his and Jill's wedding , and we have remained friends all these years. It hurt to visit him in his hospital room four days ago, and I am thankful that his suffering has ended. My sympathies to Didi and Abby and their families.
May his memory be ever for a blessing
