Lawrence Nyeste

Dr. Larry Nyeste delivered my first baby in August of 1979 - a strapping 9 1/2 pound baby girl (43 weeks). I remember him cracking jokes while I was in labor while my husband filmed the whole birth on our brand new camera. I also remember him NOT laughing when I explained weeks later that said husband forgot to load the film in the camera beforehand. He also asked my husband if he wanted a catcher's mitt to help with the delivery. Such a card - we loved him! I tried to send him a card in the...

I was just thinking of Dr. Nyeste the other day and wondered how he was doing. This makes me so sad. He delivered both of my children, my daughter in `94 and son in `97. He was the most caring doctor with a great sense of humor. Loved to tell George Carlin jokes. Rest in Peace Dr. Nyeste.

My friend and I called him Uncle Larry when he was in practice on Karl Rd. My second pregnancy he put me in the hospital at 26 weeks for preterm labor where I stayed until 38 weeks. He always brought me the newspaper and Juju Beans candy almost every day, even sharing the story of his wife being bedridden and he brought the dining room table to the bedroom so they could still eat together as a family. He had such a fun personality and when delivery time came my husband had the hockey game on...

I was in University Hospital, having gone through the clinic there. I was in bad shape, having been in labor several days and my doctor was nowhere to be found. A young intern, Dr. Larry Nyeste, stuck his head in and asked how I was doing. He immediately called for an emergency c-section, which saved my life and that of my unborn baby. I´m eternally grateful. I made sure he delivered my other children. I even named my second son Lawrence to honor him. I´m distressed and deeply saddened to...

Just today my husband & I were reminiscing about Dr. Nyeste. We met him just before we were to marry. He didn´t even have his own practice yet . A new young doctor- we immediately became friends! The next 20 years were full of memories as he cared for me as I carried 10 beautiful, healthy babies.He was the best : from his intelligence & knowledge, to his care & concern , to his interest in names and their meanings (that we shared) to his delight in delivering our precious babies! As each baby...

Another memory I have is Larry's delight when we would bring in the babies. His face would light up and he would immediately want to hold them. As they grew up and finished high school they each took differing paths. Our eldest daughter went into the Army. Our youngest went to college. He was so proud of both of them.

Dr nyeste delivered my daughter feb 20, 1974, at OSU. As a 17 yo new mom, way back then-I knew how lucky we were to have his caring spirit with us throughout the pregnancy and delivery. He was not even on call that evening, but came out of a masters and Johnson lecture to care for us. I asked-"what (sex) is it.?".. He said "It´s a Rebecca!" He knew my chosen names. Thanks, Dr Nyeste.

I met Larry when my then husband was a student at OSU and Larry was finishing up his residency there. Larry was my OB/GYN and delivered both my daughters. He was a calming supportive man to me/us and I appreciated having him as my Dr.

Larry and were fraternity brothers at Western Reserve. He was always upbeat, enthusiastic and fun to be around. I remember one day after spring break, he came into the frat house with several broken bones from a bike or moped accident. I wish I had stayed in touch with Larry these past 55 years. I thought he was studying to be architect. What a memory.
