Ira had the wisdom of Solomon, the sensitivity of Freud, and the serenity of Ghandi. How fortunate I am to have known him.

Anything I can say in praise of Ira would be too little-there are no words

Hello, I was the "Cardiac Graphics" Secretary from roughly 1977-1979. I processed the pre-op reports from the gigantic computer! I was a bit lost in those days, having just lost my mother and dropped out of college. Dr. Bernstein's kindness, patience, and humor will be forever in my memory. He was such a brilliant gentleman. I am so sorry for your loss...what a great human being! Madonna Dowd Piper

I was a patient and friend of this extraordinary man of substance. Ira made this world and everyone around him better. Ira really lived. My thoughts are with Suzie and his family. Ken Donner

We were unaware of Ira's death until now. Both Alex and I owe Ira so much. Without his persistence and caring, both of us wouldn''t have gotten to the right doctors and diagnosis for our cancers. We owe him a debt of gratitude and will remember him always. Ira will be missed Our sincerest sympathy Alex & Bonnie Weiss

Almost 40 years ago, my uncle suffered a heart attack while visiting me in Evanston. Dr. Bernstein was his assigned cardiologist at Evanston Hospital and when he discovered that my uncle did not have health insurance, he waived his fee. Amazing. I've never forgotten this, and remembering it now restores my faith in humanity.

Susan I recently heard about the Unfortunate passing of Ira just the other day. What an immense loss to your family and many others who cared about him and all those he did something so much for it. I remember him fondly as a good mentor and a great colleague. Condolences to you and the family.

Dr. Ira Bernstein a wonderful doctor, man, human being. He was my fathers doctor and was respected well. My father also knew his father. May dr Bernstein Rest In Peace. I´m so sorry for the loss of this great man.
