Dr. Joseph Robert Gordon

Another year, how sad, yet it seems like yesterday in many ways. He will always be remembered by the many, many hearts he touched. Such a wonderful doctor and good man!
Thinking of you Dr. Gordon!

I am deeply saddened to have just learned of Dr. Joseph Gordon's passing. He was more than just a doctor. Yes, he was a great sergeon, but so much more. He was a great man, always kind and compassionate, a real humanitarian, that always truly listened to people and his patients, but to me a hero. He saved my life, more than once. I am forever indebted and grateful to him for that. My deepest heart felt sympathies and condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in heavenly peace....

Another year has passed, yet Dr. Gordon remains so present in our minds and hearts. He is missed so very much, what a wonderful man and doctor. It is still difficult to believe that he is gone. His extraordinary contributions to the medical field will always be remembered.

Just yesterday I had a long conversation with a Danbury physician about Dr. Gordon, not remembering that today would be the anniversary of him leaving this life. We talked of how wonderful he was to everyone he met. How loving and kind a human being he was, who was missed by so many and a one of a kind person who left far too early leaving a space that no other could fill. His knowledge as a physician out shown others but he never acted as if he were superior to them and perhaps that is one...

He was a kind person with a heart of gold and a great doctor

I was so lucky to have him present when I was brought to the emergency room with a perforated appendix that I had been walking around with for 5 days. He was so kind and caring. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I was very much an single (divorced) woman in her 60's with no one at my side. At one point he came into the room and said "you are feeling alone and scared aren't you". I burst into tears. We talked. He had a talk afterwards to the nurses and asked them to be kinder to me. ...

I have just learned about Dr. Gordon passing...so sad ;-(. He was the most wonderful, thoughtful, caring Dr. I have ever met and will never forget him. He operated on me May 2000 in NH.
When he moved away my husband and I would drive down to Conn. to see him for my follow ups. He truly was an amazing person! My deepest sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.

I just stumbled across this when researching something else. I did not know that Dr. Gordon had passed away! I am very saddened to learn this. He performed an appendectomy on my 13 yr old daughter in the middle of the night because after being sent her test results, he felt that he wanted to operate, " sooner rather than later." His bedside manner was wonderful...and he put a nervous teenager and her terrified mother at ease. I am so sorry for his family and friends and for our communities'...
