Not sure what to say?

Nothing could describe my feelings towards you Dr. Racy. I am very appreciative of everything you have done to support me. I was not just a resident Physician in your program, but I saw in you a genuine Father. I am proud to be your son and student who became now a certified psychiatrist. My love and Prayers be always with you dear Dr. Racy.

A Blessed Memory, John remains in our hearts forever.

My husband and I always enjoyed a visit from Mr. Racy through the years we were in business. His kindness and insight to life was wonderful. He had a special joy and light that he brought to those who were lucky enough to know him. Our deepest condolences go to Ann and the entire Racy family. May he Rest In Peace. Fondly , Joanne & Michael Rainbow

The first time I met John Racy left me with a warm respect for a truly kind and caring physician. He was one of those people who, when speaking one to one to you, had the skill to make you feel as you were the most important person in the world. His kind approach and helpful wisdom to patients, medical students, residents, and fellows leaves a legacy of successful mentoring and role modeling.

I valued Dr. Racy as a teacher, mentor and an example of graciousness. He always had time to listen and advise. May he rest in peace. Vicki Berkus M.D.,Ph.D,CEDS

He was a physician who defined the meaning of the word on all levels. He inspired those of us in the medical field to be the absolute best of who we are. May we all move forward...
