Not sure what to say?

Dr. Palay was a special man and a wonderful doctor. I remember he cared for my mother and helped me, too, when I was falling apart as she was near the end. A great man. I know he is very missed by his family and all those he touched with his skills, heart and spirit. Our world would be so much better if there were more people like him. My thoughts are with you, Judy, and your family.

Sorry for your loss... I hope you find joy where he has left his footprints on your soul. Much love, Jill

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I only knew Howard when he visited the Palay family in Milwaukee, but a very special man and I am proud to have known him. Take care Judi, all my love.

Judi,
How very sad I was to learn of Howard's passing. I only knew Howard during his last several years, yet I came to appreciate his quietly, powerful presence. He will be sadly missed and I will keep you and your family in my prayers during this difficult time. My love and sincere sympathy, Nan Bush

My father truly embodied what it means to be a physician. He healed with his skills and with his heart. He never turned a patient away, regardless of whether there was payment or not. Sometimes he was paid in produce, and he accepted these edibles as if they were gold. He made every patient feel like they mattered... And they did. He sacrificed many things to be the kind of doctor he was. Sometimes as a child we did not understand; now as adults we do. Dad - I am so proud of you. I miss...

I had the privilege of knowing Howard as a fellow physician, mentor, colleague and a friend. Howard's impact on Green bay Heart care will never be forgotten. From the inception Howard never compromised on quality and compassion even at the risk of sounding like a tough task master. All of us who worked with him will miss him . My condolences to the entire Palay family. Howard's was a life well lived and may the pleasant memories give you strength to bear your loss. - Bharat Pathakjee

judy, howard was a wonderful person, I will always remember his dry sense of humor,i am thinking of you.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Dr. Palay was my Mother's (Tink) cardiologist in Green Bay back in 1973. He was a great Dr. and did a great job with her as she was one of the earliest recipients of bypass surgery in this area. I gave his daughter a ride back to UW_Madison and he commented to my Mother that I came to the door instead of beeping for her. The Duffy Clan and the Greater Green Bay area is grateful for all the fine work he did here. The Palay family has my deepest sympathies.
