Dear Ruth,

I am extremely sad to hear the news of Dr. Wilansky's passing. I extend my deepest sympathy to you, Susan, Naftali and all of the family.
Dr. Wilansky hired me for my first job in Nuclear Medicine at Etobicoke General Hospital, years later he supported me in my role as Manager, Nuclear Medicine and then as Technical Administrator, Diagnostic Imaging.
He was a mentor, colleague and a brilliant physician. I'm honoured and privileged to have known him.
May the many...

I was saddened to hear the news of Doug's passing. He was a "mover and shaker" at Etobicoke General where he helped to organize the hospital's Clinic Days and was instrumental in establishing the Nuclear Medicine department. I enjoyed practicing my limited Yiddish with him, and I still have and use all the Passover songs and information sheets that he and Ruth gave me. I will certainly miss our small visits. Sincere condolences to Ruth and the family.

To Ruth and family, May we offer our sincere condolences on Douglas passing. I have known Douglas and Ruth for over a quarter century, he was a friend and mentor to me, and have many find memories of his summer visits to newfoundland. My later wife (June)and I were privileged to entertain them at our home in Holyrood, and we enjoyed his shiurs in our little Shul. He will be sadly remembered. May his death be a blessing to us all, and may the Family be remembered among the mourners of Zion...

My deepest condolences to Ruth, Susan and Harry on their great loss. Doug was a gifted doctor, scientist and researcher. He was Chief of Medicine at the Etobicke General Hospital when he hired me to work in his department as a junior neurologist having moved from Montreal to start my career. I recall an incident in my early years when I asked Doug to look at a patient admitted to the hospital over the weekend. Doug was always in the hospital on Sunday's. Doug, I said, she is weak in her legs...

I was very saddened to hear this news. I enjoyed working with Dr Wilansky as his nurse in nuclear medicine for 10 years. He and Ruth were very welcoming with me. Condolences to Ruth and the family

I am very saddened to hear this news. My deepest condolences to his wife Ruth and his entire family. Dr Wilansky was my mentor, my colleague and a father figure to me in the 30 years I have known him in the Nuclear Medicine Dept at Etobicoke General Hospital. I am very grateful to him for hiring me fresh out of school to work for him back in 1989 and then to promoting me to oversee the technical aspect of the Dept in 1994 as the Charge Technologist. He will be sorely missed and my heart is a...

Sending our condolences and love to everyone in the family. Joey Shulman (Sylvia Wilansky's second son). I believe we're mishpocha.
