Not sure what to say?

I was fortunate to present to Stern in 1997 during my PhD. His thinking and writing has and is a constant inspiration. I still wait for his next book.

I was a patient of Stern's from the time he started in practice until July of 1975. He did me a lot of good. Condolences and RIP

He was most attentive to my special needs.. We have special connections: his father was my mother's high school classmate out in Long Island.
I will miss him terribly.

I began analysis with Dan Stern when I was a young medical student and he was a candidate in analytic training at Columbia University. Having been orphaned in childhood and placed into foster care, my experience with early loss matched his passion about early development, and his warmth and caring allowed me to reconnect to the world and rebuild my life. My condolences to his family and his colleagues who knew him in very different capacities.
Francine Cournos, M.D.

I have no doubt Daniel Stern's research and written work made me a better child analyst.

My sincere condolences to the Stern family. It is hard to lose someone close to us.
But please know that God does not forget our loved ones or us as we have to cope with this loss. We are encouraged to throw all our anxieties upon him because he cares for you".
1 Pet 5:7)

Dan was Great Neck HS '52 and I was '50. He lived on (or just off) Fairview Avenue and I was fortunate to occasionally meet up with him walking to school. He was a lovely, warm acquaintance, brilliant as well. He preceded me at Einstein and it was already clear that he would contribute greatly to the psych literature. No surprise that this sweetheart of a guy found his way to working with babies and children. His legacy is secure.

Thanks, Dr. Stern.
