George Eisenbarth

Sorry to hear about George. I knew him from Grover Cleveland class of 65. He was the brightest guy in the class, most likely to succeed, Arista etc. Always presented a nice personality.We all knew he would do great things. I'm sure he will be sorely missed.

I graduated with George from Grover Cleveland HS in 1965. George was voted most likely to succeed, and he didn't disappoint. I haven't seen George since graduation, as I went to Southern Ct state Univ, and stayed in Connecticut. Although I haven't seen George in over 45 years, I am still saddened to hear of his passing.

I discovered that George had died, by chance, as I Googled him (as I often do my long-lost friends).

He and I were classmates at PS 71 in Queens and shared an early interest in Medicine. I have fond memories of George, Helen and his family's candy store.

George was the smartest guy in Maspeth, Queens, and his contributions to an understandng of Juvenile Diabetes, though not predictable from an early class photo, are not at all surprising to one of his best early...

We are so sad to hear of Dr. Eisenbarth's passing. He cared for my son Travis at the Barbara Davis Center for many years. He was such a kind person and the only doctor my son actually looked forward to seeing. He will be missed. Pam Gibson

Dr. Eisenbarth was my neighbor Helen Shaw's dear, beloved brother. I met George only on a couple of occasions when he was visiting Helen on Long Island but the blessing of his visit helped a young man that works for our family- This young man's wife has diabetes and they were unable to have children . Dr. Eisenbarth helped them to find the right dr. and today they have a beautiful 7 year old daughter. We are most grateful each time I see little Carley Nichols I remember Dr. George Eisenbarth...

Each day I reflect on the very special years my brother and I shared. I will cherish the early years.

However, the latter years are truly unforgettable. I will be forever grateful for my beloved brother's insightful wisdom and dedication to his own and my family. He has touched and helped so many through his chosen research field - Type 1 Diabetes. He was always available to listen, advise or consult with someone. He kept pressing ahead to find a prevention or cure.

What an accomplished gentleman. Loyal and I would have loved to have gotten to know him better. We are honored to have served you and George with your Grand County real estate needs. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr. Eisenbarth, albeit briefly, some 20 years ago. Those of us who live with Type I diabetes, as I have for most of my life, are forever indebted to him for his extraordinary research. I offer my sincerest condolences to his family at this difficult time.

I am truly saddened by Dr. Eisenbarth's passing - he was a joy to know and a tremendous inspiration to many.
During last year's JDRF Science Day presentation, he proudly displayed the insulin delivery system, that he was in part responsible for developing, and then used as a result of his cancer, which brought on diabetes 'in an unusual way', he quipped. Dr Eisenbarth was upbeat about the system and displayed a wonder that he found with many scientific advancements.
All of us...
