John Pellett

I had the honor to train with Dr. Pellett during my surgical training at the University of Wisconsin. He was a truly outstanding technical surgeon but an even more amazing person. He had a commitment to his patients and to utilizing his skills to help people that was truly inspiring. He reminded us all what a privilege it is to be a surgeon and the impact that our skills can have to help others. He was an outstanding role model and everyday I strive to live up to the example he...

John is my hero, If it was not for him I would not be here today. He performed a major Surgery on me back in 1970 that was a very aggressive Surgery to stop lymphatic leaking. I will never forget him and hardy a day that goes by that I don't think about him.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Pellett. We shared many good memories during the years at UW and Lone Pine. He will be missed by many.

My beloved mentor and friend.

Our sympathy and heartfelt thoughts are with your family.....Lone Pine neighbors..... Bob & Judy Klauer

I have a lot of childhood memories of Dr. Pellet, Mrs., and all of the children. He was a remarkable man who made a positive mark on so many lives and will be surely missed. My deepest sympathy to the entire Pellett family.

It was sad to hear of John's passing, but at the same time, it immediately reminded you what an honor it was to know such an exceptional individual. He worked hard to obtain success, but more important was his dedication to his profession and the people he befriended and taught. He was humble and kind in his approach. He was one of the great men of his time. The world needs more people like John Pellett. He will be missed, but always remembered.

Joanie, I was so sorry to read of your father's passing. I remember how you so proudly spoke of him and with such good reason. What a beautiful obituary -- a life well lived!! God bless you and your family at this time of grief. (I often think fondly of the good times you and I had together at the bank)
