George Burica

I meant to write here a long time ago. Was reminiscing and reminded of what a great man he was. When my Mom was pregnant with me. She was sick form high blood pressure toxemia. Luther General back then in 1969 would not takes risks. Dr. B came down from 5th floor and told me parents he would give it a try. Might only be able to save one. Saved us both but I only given and a 1 year life limit. I was in the NICO probably before there was a NICU for 17 more days. My mom never needed...

Huge influence on my life, of course. Finally got to fly in a Stearman trainer this year, which was one of his beloved airplanes. Connected to him again that way.

I and my husband, Jon, are very saddened by Dr. Burica's death. I just learned about it and it was a big shock. He was my Doctor from 1966 until 2000. He delivered our son, David, in 1967. Dr. Burica was the absolutely best Doctor I have even known. He was so smart, so caring, so kind, and he became a good friend. I was lost when he retired.. I couldn't find the same wonderful doctor as he was. I did find a doctor, but he wasn't the same as Dr. Burica. We stayed in contact after he...

Just learned yesterday that my wonderful Dr. Burica passed away. It saddened me and I have good memories of him while he had his practice. My sincere condolences to his wife and family . Thanks for always taking such good care of me, Dr. Burica!

Diane and family,
I have fond memories of George and I will hold them close to my heart always. Love, Terryl

Diane Our prayers are with you and the family. We will miss George, and his humor.

Diane, Kendra and I were very saddened to learn that George passed away. It was from a patient that I saw in the office today that I learned the news. I always enjoyed my friendship with both of you and the years I was George's surgical assistant. He was quite a character who truly took personally his role of caretaker and healer. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

A Fellow Flyer, a Best Friend AND Father Figure... Who has, as they say, "Gone West"... His passing sincerely breaks My heart... Though... Being a True Believer, I am reminded of a favorite quote from Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach:

I saw the obituary in today's Chicago Tribune and was saddened to hear or Dr. Burica's passing.He delivered our daughter in 1969 and I really loved him.I looked forward to my yearly visits after that and how many people can say they loved going to the doctor.He was always interested in my family and I think we spent too much time talking while others were waiting.We have also been married 49 years so I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you his wife and his family.He was a remarkable...
