Dr. Frank Nordstrom

My daughter, Wendy, was born prematurely at 7 months and weighed 2 lbs, 9 oz. Dr. Nordstrom took over care instantly back in 1968. Whatever was known about preemies, Dr. Nordstrom knew. Much more is known now. Wendy grew up with CP but graduated college and is now engaged in her own dog rescue. I am certain Dr. Nordstrom saved her life. May he rest in peace...

Frank was my Dad's and his brother Jim's first cousin. Dad,Jim,Mary Jo and Frank grew up togethet. My Dad passed in 2012, Jim in 2016

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time of deepest sorrow.

Sincerely,

Dr. Nordstrom was my Pediatrician all the way through my college years! My sweet Mom, Dottie Haelbig, worked for him for many of those years. I actually took my three daughters to him and I firmly believe that he saved my Alari's life! He was a caring, although quirky man with an instinct above all others. My Mom would often come home with stories about him "just knowing the minute a child walked through the door what was wrong". Prayers to his family!

Dr. Frank Nordstrom was a dedicated and driven man, who made great sacrifices for the Farmington community. My mom told me I was delivered by Dr. Frank Nordstrom. I can't remember that far back, but I do remember getting shots in his office. He would walk into the exam room and engage in a jovial conversation with me or my mom, then stick me with the needle before I knew what was coming.
I will always remember him as the cool doc with the black corvette.

Dear Connie and family,
I was sorry to hear of Frank's death. He was the person who turned us on to backpacking, an activity our family enjoyed for many years. Jack thought highly of him; all the "all guard" did. He was about the smartest person I knew personally. He was thoughtful too. When our daughter Becky was the valedictorian of her class in 1977, Frank wrote a personal note to her on her speech. My thoughts are with you at this time.
Sincerely,
Nancy Coats

My sincerest condolences to all on the passing of Dr. Frank B. Nordstrom. He contributed significantly to the health and well being of San Juan County's children for two generations. An exceptional intellect, he was always most generous in sharing his knowledge and insights on a myriad of topics and could always stimulate some thought-provoking discussions. I was privileged to know the family and hope they can find some comfort in all his accomplishments.

I will never hear the crinkle sound of paper on an examination bed, and not think of my childhood peditrician, Dr. Frank Nordstrom. He delivered me in 1966, and I have memory of a nice man, a bow-tie, a pair of glasses, a smile, a distinctive voice and a white lab coat as an endearing part of my childhood -- shots, ear infections and all. What a legacy! Prayers for all those he leaves behind.
