Herbert Perkins

Have never forgotten Dr Perkins even though we left the IMBB in 1971 after 10 yrs .Our aunt , Helen Beatrice Hayes was a former laboratory director of Irwin blood bank and a long time friend of Dr Perkins. May he Rest In Peace. Jan and Maria (Romo) Keizer

My sympathies to the Perkins family. Herb was a treasure trove of information and we would talk for hours on platelet transfusions which became my inner textbook for future research. An amazing clinical and bench scientist that I was fortunate to know.

As a newcomer in Transfusion Medicine in the SF Bay Area in 1984 Herb was supportive in so many ways that I'll never forget. I will never forget him as a scientist, physician and a 'mensch'. Fran was almost always at his side, and equally encouraging.

A gentleman and a scholar, Dr Perkins will long be remembered as a poineer, scientist and mentor to many in the fields of transfusion and transplatation medicine. My thoughts and prayers to family and all those who share in his dedication to the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank and Blood Centers of the Pacific

The partnership of Fran & Herb inspired me!

Herb Perkins was an amazing mentor and teacher. He set a great example for those following him to live up to, both personally and professionally.
My deepest condolences go out to the Perkins family for their loss.

My sincerest condolences to the Perkins family and Herb's friends. In my career in transfusion medicine Herb was always both kind and helpful, as well as generous with his time. One of the truly delightful and outstanding physicians in our field. He will be missed.

The Love you gave to the world, and the love you gave to your family is the reason you are loved as well. The five wonderful daughters will carry on the love you gave. I, for one, will miss him and wish the best to the whole family.
