James Lavrich

I was a patient of Dr. Lavrich from 1971 into the early 1990's. When I was a teen, he was my Doctor but also became an advisor (for my career) and someone I consider a friend. I'll never forget our conversations and his advice and lessons that I learned from him. I miss him.

I think of Dr. Jim when on the Bay; his sailboat was the 1st I floated on in the great Lake Erie where I learned the basics of sailing. Oh, and his medical work on me as a child was great, I'm still kickin'!

Dr. Jim did such great work on me back in the 60's - I'm still alive and kickin' today to prove it. I think fondly of Dr. Jim and Dr. Kaye and all their children and grand babies often, God Bless all!

Dr. Lavrich was the most kind and intelligent physician I have ever met or worked with. I enjoyed every day I worked with him and am very saddened by his death. My deepest sympathy is extended to his family. I pray you know all the good work he did and all the children he helped.

I am very sorry for the loss of Dr. Laverich. He gave me shots, throat cultures, medications,etc. when I was a child, as he did to my 6 brothers and sisters while he was working out of the Braeburn medical building -too many years ago. He kept us healthy and happy and I will never forget him. Truly a great man. Very sorry for your loss.

My condolences to all of Dr. Jim's family & friends. Dr. Jim was my pediatrician, kept me and my siblings healthy & strong. I remember the 1st time I saw him out of his office for a picnic at The Lot. I was so taken back at seeing him in sneakers and a polo, "where is his lab coat, necktie & wingtips?" I asked my mother!
He once jumped in the Chagrin River after my little brother toppled in the water and pulled him to safety, saving his live.
He was the Best Doc ever and he will be...

My sincere condolences to Dr Laverich's family! JIm and Katherine were the best doctors ever! They cared for my two girls from the very beginning! RIP Dr Laverich, you're a hard act to follow. I have memories of the many visits throughout the years! God Bless you and may your family's grief be consoled with the beautiful memories of yesteryear,
