Dr. Lawrence A. Dunegan

I just learned today of the passing of Dr. Dunegan. He was the most wonderful doctor that I have known. I have not found another pediatrician who makes telephone calls or visits to your home to check on the status of your child when he or she is sick. He will be greatly missed. There is no doubt in my mind that he is safely home with his Heavenly Father.

Dear Sybil: I want to extend my sympathy to you and your family on the passing away of Larry. I am a classmate of his from medical school. I will hold him in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Robert F. Pacek M.D.

I am sorry to hear of Dr. Dunegan's passing. He was a great doctor for some of my siblings, and for their children as well. I always enjoyed his letters to the editor. He was wonderful at leading the rosary before the 11:00 Latin Mass at St. Boniface Church. He will certainly be missed by the Catholic and Pro-Life communities in Pittsburgh. May he rest in peace in Heaven.

Larry was a good classmate. We will keep he and his family in our prayers. Our sympathy to his family. DHS '51

I worked for Dr. Dunegan for only one year and half but he left such a lasting impact on me. Even now, after thirteen years, I still say: "but Dr. Dunegan said..." He truly touched the hearts of many, many people. I'm sure God has a very special place for him in heaven.

Sybil,
My sincere condolences on the passing of you husband. Take care of yourself.

I am sorry to say I feel there will never be another doctor on this earth that measures up to the kind-hearted and knowledgable man that Dr. Dunegan was. When he closed his practice, no where could I find a doctor that answered your call at 3am personally, or have special telephone hours just for sick children or questions. My children and many of my friends and families children were patients of his. We have greatly missed him long before his passing. To his family you have my sympathy.

Dr. Dunegan was recommended to me by the late Dr. James Gilmore when my daughter Dorothy was born. He was so kind, so gentle and caring, that my daughter's earliest ambition was to be a doctor. Her interest in the "helping professions" never wavered, and she is now a geriatric social worker. She will be sad to hear of his passing; but if he was ill, it is a mercy that he is now at peace. Our deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

Dr Dunegan was a great doctor for some of my siblings, and for their children as well. He was a great pro-life voice in Pittsburgh, and I always enjoyed him leading the rosary before the Traditional Latin Mass at St Boniface. Let us all pray to Jesus, and Mary our Blessed Mother, for him that he may find the eternal joy of Heaven.
