Eugene Gettelman

My name is Mark Gold. My mother was Lois Gold and my grandmother was Delle Rodrick. We were all cousins of Rena and Gene. I had lost track of your family after my mom died in 1987. I met Alan and Micheal once or twice at your house in California. I remember both Gene and Rena with fond memories. My first memory of Gene was around 1964 when the family went to Palm Springs. I had stayed out in the sun too long and had sun stroke, I was about 10 years old. Gene checked on me at the hotel and...

A friend mentioned their shoulder was treated by a Dr. Gettleman and it reminded me that was my pediatrician´s name, many years ago in Encino. He was a nice man and took care of me well. Are any of his descendants in medicine?

I will love his memory forever. I always felt better just to feel his positive kindly presence

The most wonderful man I ever met. He was my children´s doctor. His compassion and love of kids was real. I always looked forward to seeing him on their visits. He diagnosed my sons problem after several other doctors couldn´t. I miss him to this day. Rest in peace Dr Gettelman, you will never be forgotten!

Dr. Gettleman actually saved my life when i was a baby. I would give anything if i could spend just 1 minute in his wonderful healing presence, Neil Kluft (i´m 71 now)

The best Dr ever! He truly cared about the children. I still talk about him today with my kids. Ran into him at breakfast in Beverly Hills long after my kids grew up. He remembered me and was so very sweet. God bless his soul.

Dr Gettelman delivered me in March of 1962. my parents always told me he was a lovely man. I want to express my deepest sympathies to his family. God rest his soul.

Your Father, grandfather and great grandfather saved my life as an infant in the 1950´s i was dying from severe colic. i came up under a extremely anxious and faithless mother. It wasn´t the medications that helped me the most. I´m 100% convinced that it was his faith in life and Godly presence - his wonderful energy that turned me around. I would like to ask you a favor. I would like it so much if someone could send me a picture of him from the 50´s or any picture. My email is...

Dr. Gentleman was my pediatrician until he forced me to find a doctor more appropriate to my age. I guess I was about 17. I remember him making house calls for me and my two sisters. His appearance at the house made us feel better. It was a great privilege to have him as my pediatrician as well as for my two children. I'm so glad their early life was overseen by such a wonderful man.
