Receiving an email reminder that it's the 2 year anniversary of Dr. Sugarbaker's passing, I am brought back to B & W & his valiant attempt to extend my late husband's life in late 2010, albeit it was not meant to be.

Paz a sus restos! Gracias por escribir un libro de cirugía torácica!

Dr. Sugarbaker's passion for patient care was infectious to everyone around him. It was evident everyday that I worked with him. He provided "hope" for many who had no hope when they arrived in the office. He may be gone, but his Legacy lives on in the tens of thousands of lives he touched, from patients, families, physicians, nurses, anyone who crossed his path. Thank you Dr. Sugarbaker.

Dave was one of my closest friends at Wheaton College. I will always remember him for his passionate Christian faith and unflagging spirit. His friendship is one of the most highly valued experiences of my life.Tom Dahlberg
