Not sure what to say?

I worked for Dr. Gossack for 2 years(1968-1970). After I left I visited once or twice just to say Hi to him and PJ. I think working for him was one of the most enjoyable working experiences of my life. I observed first hand his compassion and concern for the very best for his patients. He truly made a difference.

I apologize for this being so late, I just found out today, 1/30/2011. He delivered 2 of my 3 children and I bowled with his daughter, Linda,when were kids. I remember while Dr. Gossack watched us bowl the calls he would get to go an deliver another baby. I will miss him .

Dr. Gossack delivered two of my children in 1972 and 1976 when we lived in the Bay Area. He was a wonderful doctor and a very nice person.

When I met Dr. Gossack in 1976 he was warm and friendly and welcomed me to the new clinic at GSH. He remained friendly kind and very gentlemanly for all the years that followed. With very best wishes to to the family at this time of loss, Liz Summerhayes, RN,NP,CNM

I met Dr Larry Gossack in 1973 during my stay in San Jose . I am a friend of his son and daughter. He was a kind and generous person. He was like a father to me and I thank God for having known him.
Larry, you will live forever in my heart.
My condolences to his wife Pearl, his son David, his daughter Linda and his granddaughters Marissa and Natalie Astor.

Dr. Gossack, was a very special Doctor and very loving person! He always had a sparkle in his eyes and a friendly smile!
My husband and I were looking to adopt in 1980 and I had met Dr. Gossack socially, and we talked to him about adoption. He told us he hadn't seen one in years! I told him to keep us in mind and that he was going to have one for me sometime! Well to my suprise he referred our name to a young couple and we were Blessed with a beautiful baby boy after waiting ten years!...
