Not sure what to say?

To dearest cousin Michelle, I have only just seen the sad news of your father's passing. I only met him once, when he visited Sydney many years ago, but was struck by his passionate interest in the world around him and his fearless and forthright views and opinions which marked him as a man of towering intellect and confidence in those views and opinions. A strong and unforgettable man. Much love to you and your family Peter Grant

I first met Dr Goldzieher in May of 1985 as a young 24 yo woman Patient in San Antonio and he changed my life! Every visit to his Office , there would be an Orchid on his Desk and he would tell me where he had collected it from often from somewhere he had lectured before it in the USA or on the other side of the world!!!! I loved these visits!! I was a Patient of his off and on for almost 15(?) years!! Thank you, Dr Goldzieher!!

I had the great privilege and honor to work for Dr gozier since 19 95. He was a gentle and brilliant man. He cared deeply about all his patients and they all cherished him. I wish to send my condolences for his daughter and his extended family. He will be truly missed but always in my heart. I have a lot of fond memories of him. Thank you doctor Goldzieher for allowing me the pleasure to meet you and work with you for 17 years may you always be in peace in heaven with your beautiful wife Trini

I will forever cherish the stories Dr.Goldzhier shared with me, he was always a sweet gentle soul.

Such a remarkable man, how fortunate to have him as a grandfather, Samantha . My sincere condolences . Love , Marcia

One of Dr. Goldzieher´s passions was conservation of the natural world. I knew him through that and his involvement with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) here in Texas. He visited many of our projects and was a wonderful travel companion. We are grateful for his support of our work.

I got a glimpse of his amazing life from one conversation. You have my sincere condolences

My thoughts are with his dear daughter and family. I am proud that I could be instrumental in getting Dr. Joseph Goldzieher's research papers to the Semmelweis Medical Library in Budapest, where his life's work will live on in the research of colleagues and medical students.

Truly lovely man! He always talked about his orchids of which he was very proud.He and Trini were a beautiful couple
