Dr. John Skandalakis

My name is Suzanne Bryant and I now live in Jasper Georgia. In 1972, Dr. Skan. removed my appendix at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta. I was a nervous freshman at the university when Dr. Scan. came in the operating room and said "Don´t lworry, darling. I am going to give you a sexy scar." We both laughed. He also sponsored me when I became a Phoenix debutant. Wonderful man!

I would of never known about this man of God who is one of Our Lord's real Miracle's & I am so Thankful that his son became my Doctor as I could of Prayed for a Father like Dr. John my whole life & never be so Blessed as to have this man who even risked his life to safe Jewish people & to help the people of Atlanta become incredible amazing Doctor's. I personally consider John a Saint in my eye's and I truly believe that God has him in a Special Place that was just waiting for this Miracle...

Dearest Vickie, Lee, Mitch and the ENTIRE family....

I cannot believe that I am just now getting word of your father's death....I had surgery in late August and clearly missed the sad news. I had been wondering how he was doing....

Please know that my heart aches for you all, and I know that I don't have to tell you that your dad was one of my all-time favorite people. Not only was it a complete pleasure to have a long-time banking relationship with him and your...

My deepest condolences to the family. I knew Dr. John and his wonderful family since I was little. They have helped my family so much and we are all very appreciative. He had always given me the best advice and always said I could come to him if I ever needed anything. I wish I could have let him know that everything that I have accomplished has been because of the things he has said to me. He was my biggest influence and I could never ever have made it through without his words running...

Mitch & Family:

I was so sad to learn of your Fathers passing. What a fine man he was, and I know how proud you were of his many accomplishments.

It has been many years, but I have held fondly in my mind those who were so much a part of my life at Westminster. Know that at this time, I will remember you again for obvioulsy different reasons.

My deepest sympathy, but warmest rememberances,

To Mimi, Vickie, Lee , Mitch and the entire Skandalakis family-

I'm sorry, but I just found out last week that John had passed away.
I've had the pleasure of working with John at Piedmont upon my arrival in July of 1977, and found him to be one of the warmest and kindest surgeons as well as very skilled. When I last saw him as a patient at Piedmont, he still had an upbeat attitude and that always present warm smile. He was a truly great man and my thoughts and prayers go out...

Dear Mimi and Vickie,
Just knowing you both is a blessing to me, therefore I feel your loss. You and family will always have great memories in your hearts and most of ALL the love that you shared.
May the blessings of God keep you.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Skan at Piedmont in the Operating Room from 1978 until his retirement. I still have a bracelet he brought back from one of his travels to Greece. He remembered the folks he worked with even in his travels. He treated the patients and staff with kindness and warmth. He always talked about his wife, children and grandchildren. His family was everything to him. I know what a great loss this is. You will be in my prayers.

To Dr. Skans' family:
My thoughts & prayers are with you all during this time & for the days ahead. Please know that I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Skan for the gift of my father's life. He performed surgery on my dad in 1983 when I was only 7 years old. Had it not been for his skill, determination, care, & faith in our Almighty God, my father would not be here today with our family. I can't express enough to you how sorry I am for your loss but also how thankful I am for his life...
