Not sure what to say?

Sandy,
I'm not sure if you remember me. My name is Dorothy. My husband Bob would come to my appointments with me. He and Dr. Melnicoff always talked about cars. Especially Corvettes. I would always talk to you while waiting for my appointment. I lost my husband Bob the month before Dr. Melnicoff passed away. My deepest sympathy to you & your family on your loss. May he always rest in peace.

Sandy.... I wanted to express my regards to you and Ira. I was a patient of yours and saddened by the news. He was my favorate Doctor that really cared about me and my health. He was special.

I was saddened to find out the passing of Ira Melnicoff. Ira and I were classmate at thr Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine from 1966 to 1970. That period of my life, as with Ira, was a very exciting and rewarding time. My remembrance of Ira was that of a very intelligent focused individual well liked by his class mates and devotion to his chosen field of medicine. I had great respect for him and was fortunate to know him during those years. I am sure he will be missed by his family and...

Dr. Melnicoff was the consummate profession. Superb Rheumatologist. He will be greatly missed

My deepest sympathy to his family. Dr. Melnicoff was one of the best doctors I have ever had, listening to his patients and caring for us. I will never forget asking a question and his drawing a diagram of the anatomy to answer me. It has saddened me to learn of his passing and I wish his family peace.

Dr. Ira was a great help to those of us new to the field of rheumatology. He always introduced himself and made one very comfortable. He had opinions and voiced them appropriately. Rheumatology patients and the medical community are going to miss him greatly. Strength to the mourners!
