Gregory P. Gauvin M.D.

I recently learned of Greg’s untimely death… In my excitement to reconnect with my old friend of over 25 years I sent him an email a few weeks ago…

My last visit with Greg was about 3 1/2 years ago and it was a typically wonderful affair on his back porch; Greg making dinner for us and having a few beers. I was in Boston with Jennifer at a meeting. We had a great meal in Lincoln, marveling at the timeline of growth on the stairs, the great conversations, the tour of the dark...

We came upon Greg's on line obituary quit by accident. Just but a few days ago infact. What a shock! We even questioned could this be the Greg we knew as kids grewing up in Westmont, New Jersey; it was. My husband went thru grammer school with Greg and was his High School friend as well. I met Greg at 14 years of age and he became my friend as well. Greg always talked of becomeing a Doctor, and yes, was very easy to talk to, laugh with, have fun with. We all cheered when He could drive...

I was saddened to recently learn of Dr. Gauvin's death. I was a 25yr. volunteer at MAH and got to know Greg over the years. He was a kind and gentle man with a smile that was magical. He had many talents and his love and respect of nature was captured in his photography. Greg will be missed by those whose lives he so gently touched. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Thank you Marylou and Michelle and all those who helped put together a beautiful memorial service for Uncle Greg. He will be so missed by Pete and I. Hope you are winning Boston in Heaven! And, of all things, Bill Rodgers sends his condolences too. Love, Linda & Pete

In the past few weeks I've been thinking of Dr. Gauvin [Greg] in many ways. Here are just a few memories. I've worked at the hospital a number of years and have had the great pleasure to know such a gentle man. He would ask me to get him some information in such a kind way, almost as if reluctant to disturb me. Then there were other times when he'd joke with me in good sport about some thing in my line of work as medical librarian. His eyes and smile would light up his face and I'll always...

I had the honor of working with Dr. Gauvin for 11 years in the lab. I worked in micro and he was one of nicest pathologists that I have ever worked for/with. I remember that at the ripe old age of 33 I didn't feel well and had a CBC drawn and tested. I came back positive for mono! I went storming into hematology to let them know they must have made some crazy mistake and Greg met me at the door and said "Sue, I checked it myself...now go home and get better!" I left.
I loved his...

My sincerest and deepest sympathy goes to Dr. Gauvin's family.
I worked in the Microbiolgy Department at Mount Auburn before I moved to Oregon to be closer to family. Dr. Gauvin always took the time to talk and make you feel special, even when he was busy.
He would always take the time to listen and share.
Being new to the area, and new to the Boston Red Sox, I was beyond thrilled when he gave me a picture of Kurt Schilling that one of his friends had taken in 2004. I framed...

Our deepest sympathies to the Greg's family. Our years at MAH were many and it was an honor and a pleasure to work next to such a dedicated, intelligent and unpretentious doctor. We'll think of him often as our home is adorned with many of his photos. My wife has always said in the dictionary under the word oxymoron is Greg's picture. A pathologist wearing a smile, always willing to converse with a colleague. A doctor so unassuming he considered everyone from physicians to lab techs to the...

To Dr. Gauvins family:
My Deepest Sympathy for your loss.
All of us at the MAH laboratory mourn the
loss of this fine man. I worked under Dr.
Gauvin for thirty years. For that time,
the techs in the Hematology lab had his
expertise for our cases needing pathology review. He was always polite,
even during our sometimes constant interruptions of his work; asking him to
review slides or fluid crystals. We are lost without him.
He handled...
