Kevin B. Lake M.D.

I was so lucky to be his daughter. He was one of the greatest loves of my life. 10 years later, I still get teary eyed and miss him every day. I feel his presence watching over me and my family. His grandson Eric is the spitting image of him - so brilliant, kind and big hearted. I wish my dad was here to see his grandson blossom into an accomplishment young man, but I know my dad has been with us all along. My love for you Dad is eternal. Until we meet again...

So sorry for your loss he was admired and so well respected and will be missed

Kevin Lake was a force to watch--we first met in 1973 @ La Vinia Hosp. for Resp. Diseases. I had the good fortune to learn so much from him until I left Meth. CCU in 1986. His many lectures were filled with amazing info--medical and (frequently) very political, but always cutting edge, much like his sense of humor. I remember when he and Suzanne started "keeping company". We nurses were so happy--and when they married it was wonderful to see a new light in his eyes. He led a humble,...

Dr Lake, what an amazing man ~

Dr. Lake was a wonderful man and a tremendous help to me as well as the entire Hoover Family and my parents (Jack and Carol) spoke of him with such respect and admiration for him, professionally as well as a friend. To the Lake Family ... may your heartaches be short-lived and your heartsmiles of this amazing man last forever. And perhaps he has not "gone" ... just .... "gone on" !!!
Most Respectfully,

I had the privilege of growing up next door to Dr. Lake and my childhood would be so different had he not been part of my life. I will forever be reminded of Kevin when I think about skiing in Mammoth, chair 9, Mogul Restaurant, Hansel and Gretal run, countless Dodger games, All Star game, World Series, Ravioles(the large size), Numero Uno pizza, and of course that wooden figure wearing a barrel.

As kids, we knew that Dr Lake was a very important person. He carried with him, what we...

Dr. Lake would always come to Huntington Hospital with a big cup of coffee in hand or even a cup of soup that he would eat on the run. He always had something interesting to say about just about any subject and as a respiratory therapist, I enjoyed working with him and respected him tremendously. He was a kind and gracious man with a wonderful sense of humor and will be missed by all of us therapists who knew him
