Dr. JEFFREY ALAN KANT

Julie and family. I just received the news of Jeff's passing. I am so sorry. I know how hard this time is but we can remember him as a fun, family and science loving person. I missed him as my director at U of PA HUP lab. I know I could always count on him to address my questions. I live in Montana now after being diagnosed with MS. If I can do anything for you or you just want to talk call me. I am in the Phonebook for Missoula, MT. Once again I do want to say he was a great person...

Dear Julie,

I know your husband Jeff through his organisation AMP. Since my first participation in the late 90s I had contact with him. Jeff was a very friendly, enthusiastic and motivating collegue and at each and every meeting we had several nice discussions. Jeff also stimulated me to try to get more Europeans involved and participating in AMP. Next to a common interest in Molecular Diagnostics we shared research interest in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.
I'll never...

Dear Julie,

Although we have not seen one another for a very, very long time, nonetheless, I was saddened to read about Jeff's death in the Medicine on the Midway magazine. More than anything else I remember him as being unfailingly honorable and honest. That, I think, is more important than the (deserved) accolades that he received.

Although I can remember your children only as babies, please extend my condolences to them, too.

It seems appropriate this Thanksgiving weekend to give thanks for Jeff. I loved Jeff ~ he was by brother! I am thankful to God for creating him and giving him just shy of sixty-six years of life on this earth. I was privileged to be chosen as one of his brothers. My mind is literally filled with wonderful memories of this man, and as a boy and a teenager as well.
The format of this 'quest book' will allow for only a brief entry, but I pray this memory will be meaningful to all of...

Dear Julie and family,

Please accept my sincere condolences. I just heard today about the passing of Jeff, and am truly saddened. I worked as Dr. Kant's Clinical Coordinator when he first came to UPMC as Director of the Division of Molecular Diagnostics. Jeff was a fair and approachable boss. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing.

Sincerely,

Suzan Dolfi

I knew Jeff during my Fellowship in Neuropathology at Penn. He was an absolutely woderful, first rate human being. My heart goes out to his family and associates.

Jeff was a really neat human being. I had the great joy of working with him on some CAP committees and sharing drinks at the bar of the Hapuna Beach Hotel. My sympathies are with Julie and the family.

Jeff was the first faculty I interviewed with at HUP, and has continued to be the model for the kind of molecular pathologist and man I strive to be. I will continue to miss him from my heart.

Our thoughts are with Julie and all the family at this sad time. It was wonderful getting to know you and seeing you when you lived here. I helped you build your house on Sycamore Court back in the 80's. Jeffrey was always exact in his thinking. You were a wonderful couple.
