My dear wonderful brother Michael, I think of you every single day. I hug you and kiss you; as I picture you I put my arms around you. I see you as a little boy, as a medical student, a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle to all your nieces and nephews, devoted to your patients. I've loved you always. I can't write anymore as I can't stop the tears. You can't imagine how much I miss you, my dear sweet brother. Elise Laskar Orenstein
Michael Lasker MD Dearly loved and missed by all who knew him.

I will always remember Dr. Laskar, from the first visit to him about 10 years ago when I was single and then about 5 years later my new husband and family was assigned to him from our insurance company. In 2003 I had been in the hospital for kidney infection while I was pregnant and he stopped by to check on me and make sure things were fine. He also gave his home number to me in case I needed to get ahold of him. He did go out of his way as no other doctor I know did. I just found out that he passed on. We are thankful to have had him in our world, personally and from reading the entries thus far... May God bring comfort and peace to his family.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of the the passing of Dr. Laskar. He was my Physician for 20 years and I will miss him greatly. He was a man of great integrity and empathy, and I always felt I could trust him to do what was best for me as his patient.

Michael's loss was a big shock to me and made me extremely sad. It was like losing a brother for the second time. I consider Michael's sister like my own and so I always felt close to Michael. Michael was very special to me. I met him only once but it was like I knew him all my life because his sister Elise always spoke of him. He had everything to live for. Michael will have a place in my heart forever. Love, Simone

Dr Laskar you are so missed. You were our family doctor for 23 years. During that time I moved and you became my daughters doctor. You took my place every time she was ill and took care of her for me. I cannot thank you enough. My thoughts are with your family and trusted staff.

I've been a patient of Dr. Laskar's for many years. He is the first Dr. that I really trusted. I enjoyed our conversations, and will always cherish his empathy when caring for me.

I am in total shock of the loss of a great doctor. I'm trully sorry for all of you. My insurance was just changed over and I just got word. Our family has been going to Dr. Laskar for over 11 years and he will truly be missed. He always knew your illness and always cured us. I always made sure that he was our primary doctor whenever our insurance changed over. He was a great man and a great doctor. He will be missed by a lot of people. May he rest in peace.
The Bohn family.

I miss you doc. Who is going to tell me "Everything will be ok". We shouldn't have moved in June, we could have come 50 more times and seen your smiling face. Jill stay strong. Cara, you have come so far, Diane, your a rock. He wasn't my "family" but you guys new you all were "my family". I miss you all dearly and your loss is immense. I hope his family can remember all the joy, and read what he did for so many others. I am so happy we took those pics before we moved, of all of us. God bless you doc and please watch over us. We will never stop thinking about you.

Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Michael Laskar, we do know his lovely Mother and Sister. I have heard such wonderful things about Michael, from his family and reading this guest book. Everyone should be as fortunate as having as caring a doctor and person as he was, not only to his patients but to strangers as well. We are so saddened by his sudden passing. May G-d Bless him and his family. We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to all. With Love,

Misfortune hunts each of us at one time or another. The passing of my dear brother-in-law whom I met when he was only 10 years, brought profound sorrow to me. During the many years I knew Michael we thought of each other as brothers. I will miss his sage advise as well as his cheerfulness and lighthearted humor. His medical advise across the country was always on point. His goodness was contagious and his memory will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, Donald Orenstein

Thoughts and prayers to the Laskar family and his family at the office. Dr Laskar will be greatly missed.We were his patients for about 15 years and he knew us inside and out and took such great care of us. We are competely devastated.

To the Laskar Family:
Had it not been for our insurance carrier notifying us of the re-assigning of my wife to Dr. Noah Johnson, we would not have known of Dr. Laskar's passing. We were his patients for over twenty years and found him to be a very warm, caring and understanding doctor. My wife, in particular, felt good about him because he also spoke Spanish. We were comfortable with him. He was approachable. When I had a chest pain on my way to work in February of '88 I turned around and went to his office and he took immediate action, calling the paramedics and having me admitted to Grossmont and subsequently to Alvarado where I underwent by-pass surgery. We are sure that episodes, such as this, were repeated time and time again. He truly lived the Hippocratic Oath. God bless him and may he rest in peace. Our deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Laskar family.

Words can not describe the loss of our family Doc for the past 17 years. Dr. Laskar and his Nurse Jill and all the staff have been tremendous to my family and I can honestly say that without him being there through all our illnesses and tribulations I don't know how we would have made it. I have referred many people to him and have made it a point to keep him as our primary Dr. when our insurance carriers have changed so many times over the years. Our prayers to all the staff and family of Michael Laskar a wonderful man.

Michael was a wonderful and kind person who left us much too early. Though I didn't get to see him much because we lived on opposite sides of the country, it was like seeing an old friend and picking up like time had never passed. You always hope to have family like Michael. Just a good hearted guy. A few years ago, when I was struggling to find another tv job, he never hesitated once to help me land one in San Diego because one of his patients is a reporter. Though it didn't work out, I'll always be grateful to Michael for helping me. Having lost someone close a few months ago, my wife Natasha, my brother Ryan and I extend our condolences to Michael's mom, his sister and the rest of our family which we love very much. We'll miss you Michael.

I've had the honor and the pleasure of working with Dr. Laskar for almost six years now. Everyday he did something to put a smile on my face. He always took time out of his busy day to take care of me or my son and I will never forget that. There is a special place in my heart for him and I miss him a lot. I think I always will. My deepest sympathy goes out to all his friends and family. We have all lost someone very special that can never be replaced but will always be remembered.

Our heartfelt sympathys go out to Dr. Laskar's family and staff.I am so glad that I got to see him one last time in November.
He saved my life 4 years ago and when my mother was very ill and dying he was there.
He always understood everything and had unbelievable compassion for you whenever there was a problem. I have awfully migrain headaches and he was so kind, he never made me feel like I was less a person because of it like SOME doctors have done in the past.
He was a great soul and will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him, have him as their doctor.friend,or colligue.
He will always be dear in our hearts and never forgotten for all the things he's done.
Best Regaurds to all of you.

Dear Jeanne:
it wasn't that long ago that our boys, Adam and Chris, were in diapers and we met you and Mike as our neighbors. Then Mike took care of our health, and you became the sweetest friend, and then you had more beautiful babies, Derek, Rory and Hayden. Now I'm just shaking my head and crying for us because time has passed so rapidly and Mike has gone home already. This past summer I saw Mike for the last time at a Chinese cooking class at Foothills Adult School. Imagine my surprise! He said that he wanted to spend more time cooking, and I was looking forward to sharing tips and recipes with him. I miss our times together, the celebrations at your old home in La Mesa when we got to know all the family, and the gracious invitations you extended to my cousin Erna and my Mom when they were visiting from Germany. Erna is going on 90 in January and always asks about you, Mike and the boys. You were always loving and kind, and no one could ever forget that. Jeanne, you and Mike and the boys came into our lives for a special reason, and we'll always treasure that. And all of you will always be close to our hearts.
Lorie, Tom and children, Jennifer with husband Ben and baby Nicolas, and Chris.

I can't believe it. I called the office & heard the recording. It has been a few days now & I am still in shock. I was saddened to the point of tears. Dr. Laskar was a wonderful doctor & such a warm hearted person. He had been my Dad's physician for 20 years & mine for about 15 years. My family will miss him and that wonderful laugh. I feel I have lost a very dear friend.

My heart goes out to Michael's family. Although I haven't seen him for many years and only remember him as a sweet little boy growing up in Queens, his sister, Elise, kept me apprised of his activities. He seems to have grown into a sweet and compassionate man. How sad that such a wonderful person was taken from his family and many friends so young.

I met Mike in Madrid in 1969. He was the first friend I made there and he got me through 2 years of medical school and helped me transfer to Guadalajara where we finished our MD degees.
We tavelled back to Brooklyn for clerkship and then to Glen Cove for Family Practice residency: 3 continents- and Mike made me smile every step of the way.
I had lost contact with him after he married Jeannie: but he was my brother through it all.
Always bigger than life. always the best at his exremes: I smile and cry at his passing- we travelled a long and winding road- and what a long strange trip it was.
Rest in peace my friend- we will travel other roads.
To Jeannie and family, with love,sympathy and friendship.

My family and the Laskar family are forever intertwined. Mike and Jeanne brought Dennis and I to San Diego when the ink on my ex-husband's medical degree was still wet. They convinced us through their warmth and down-to-earth honesty, that we would not only survive, but thrive in East County. And how right they were! From our very first meeting, I knew that Dennis and I were safe in what has turned out to be not only a life-long friendship, but one that extends, now, beyond life as we know it.
Michael Laskar's friendship was a significant part of my life when we all tried camping (once) with our kids still in diapers. His friendship was there when Celina and Rory learned to walk and to swim and ride bikes together, and indeed, when Jeanne and I had joint baby showers with them. From the summers when our oldest sons chopped down all the bamboo in the back yard (making spears one at a time), and slept over like brothers, nearly every night at the Laskars or at our home, to the white water rafting trip when Mike fell out of the raft, to that special day, just last year, when Adam stood as Marcus' "Best Man", our children have had profound impact upon each others' lives. And the rewards of our friendship has grown exponentially as our children have grown into maturity.
Even after Mike and Dennis ceased to be partners, Mike's wisdom and guidance afforded Dennis the opportunity to branch off and become successful on his own. It was Mike's business acumen that led to our best acquisitions, (like the beach condo) and Mike's counsel that certainly added another 15 years to my marriage. When I was stuck in a Honduran jungle, and Celina needed me, it was Mike's help that found a speedy solution. And sick in Paris just this past Spring, who do you think I called long distance for the right RX? And Mike was faxing it over before I was off the phone. Mike was a rare breed of man, the kind that bore his own pain in silence, standing fiercely true to his principles of staying attuned to the positive in life. I was so glad that he and Jeanne spent this last Thanksgiving together with all of their children .
So Mike, if you can read this up there, please know that I will always be thankful for your friendship. And I will never be able to repay you for the times that you were there for us. When Marcus suffered a head wound, he called you and you at our door before either one of his (happily babysitting) grandmothers even knew that there was blood spilling all over the floor. Celina knows in depth of her heart that men can be trusted because you were always there in the background of her life. I thank you for always encouraging the true friendship that she shared and continues to have with Rory.
But most of all, I will never be able to repay you, Mike, for the deep and abiding friendship that I will always have with your wife. Above and beyond everything that you offered while you were here on this planet, Mike, the love that was shared between you and Jeanne is one of the greatest gifts. No matter what, the two of you would always have remained friends. It was your hearty laughter, but more, it was your love, that remains imprinted upon the souls of everyone who had the honor of knowing you. I will never forget your love. And we are forever intertwined. As our children continue to grow and mature you will always remain a part of my life.
With all my love, forever, and always,
Into eternity,
Rochelle

I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to the Laskar family. I could'nt belive it when a friend told me about Dr. laskars passing, he has been my doctor for so many years. Like so many people I loved the way he didnt beat around the bush, told me exactly the way it was, this is what you need to do, now its up to you, I loved that. A little note to his nurse Jill, I probably seen Jill 99% of the time I went in, we always talked about kids and growing old, my thoughts are with you and everybody in the office. I know I will never find A doctor like Dr. laskar ever again.

To all of Dr Laskar's Family and staff...46 years ago I received a phone call that my father,a family physician, had died in his office. He had been caring for a patient. The overwhelming grief will always be in my memory. I always thought of Dr. Laskar as a "real doctor", just like my dad was. He cared so very much for all of his patients,he was absolutely brilliant,and never ceased to amaze me with his knowledge. My heart and prayers are with all of his family and staff. I understand how difficult this time is for all of you. Thank you God, for sharing this wonderful man with us. Bonnie Kenney, and Karen,too.

Dr. Laskar was a definite one-of-a-kind guy, and I always told people I was lucky to stumble upon the best "in-laws" a girl could find. As Derek's longtime girlfriend, Dr. Laskar welcomed me into the family early on. I remember fondly all the dinners we had together, and then the family vacations, and then the vacation to Europe for just Derek and I, which he greatly made possible. You could tell that he just loved seeing people happy and enjoying life. I showed my thanks by taking and framing lots pictures of him and the family. The last picture I gave him of him and the boys brought a tear to his eye. He just loved them so much.
Every little "scheme" Derek and I came up with, he supported us. When we decided to create greeting cards, he let us set up shop in his third garage. When we were working to transfer Derek to UCSD, he helped us get all the right paperwork together. When we decided to move to NYC, he let us move in to the house to save money, and then he helped me find a great job to keep us here. He just never said "no," and he always was a part of the fun in helping us go after our dreams. At our last breakfast together, he offered us a fantastic trip to Europe that he had planned but wouldn't be able to take, saying "you're my son and my daughter, and I would want you to enjoy it." Derek and I didn't know what to say; we were so shocked because we just thought we were going to breakfast. But he was full of surprises. It feels like we can just call him for breakfast or dinner anytime now. It doesn't feel like he won't be there to drink his cup of coffee and just talk. He is so missed and so loved, and I just want my future childrens' significant others to feel as welcome into our family as he, Jeanne, and the boys made me feel in theirs. Because Dr. Laskar showed me that family isn't always in the blood, but in the heart.

Dr. Laskar has been our family doctor for over 15 years. I remember once disagreeing with his treatment and telling him I wasn't going to take the medicine. He got madder then a hornet and told me to go find another doctor. I took the medicine and continued to love and respect him to this day. Our children continued to see him after they were grown and left home. My wife and I were greatly saddened when our daughter called tonight with the news of his passing. As I look over the entries in this guest book, it is apparent that he was greatly loved by all who's lives he touched...and for good reason.

Our family has been treated with great care from Dr. Laskar for the past 20 years. Our prayers of peace and comfort to his family and staff. My last visit was just a three weeks ago and we talked about my weight loss and climbing Cowles Mtn. He told me to take it easy so I don't over do. I walked Cowles Mtn. on Sunday in his memory. Dr. Laskar, I only made it to 3/4 mile marker. I'll be careful. You will be missed. Thank you for all that you have done for our family.

I was so sorry to hear about Dr. laskar. I have been a patient of Dr. Gary for 24 years and now the amazing Dr. Noah and I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Laskar several times and being able to have my children see him as well. There is nothing like a great family doctor. They are your friend, your healer, your confidant and your savior. Dr. Laskar was always so informative and caring and reminded me so much of my father. When my father passed away in 2000, it was such a comfort just to see Dr. Laskars face and hear his voice. I am sure he never realized how soothing it was for me. I pray for his family and his staff, I know that they are all truly hurting. The entire Hopwood-Friedrichsen family has you all in our prayers.

I have worked with Doctor Laskar for 26 years I got to know him well over the years as well as him to know me. He was a great Doctor, friend, and employer. When my father passed on in March 05' he was there for me. He has always treated me the same way that my father did always checking on me making sure that I did'nt need anything and that I was feeling ok. He will truely be missed, but he will remain in my heart and thoughts forever.
To the Family (Mama Laskar, Jeanne, Adam, Rory, Hayden and Marissa) May God give you comfort in your time of need. Know that I am here for you if you need me.
With Love

DR LASKAR WAS OUR FAMILY DOCTOR FOR
OVER 20 YEARS..
I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND DR LASKAR IS THE FINEST DOCTOR THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN...
MANY TIMES HE WOULD STOP BY THE HOSPITAL AND CHECK ON MY CHILD AND OR WIFE ON HIS OFF TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE OKAY....
HE IS THE BEST DOCTOR THAT I HAVE EVER HAD....

Dr. Laskar wasnt just an average doctor, he was a lot more than that. He Also helped my dad when he was sick, he was the one who admitted him to the hospital because he had blood clotts. without him, my dad probably wouldnt be here. and for his family, you were very very lucky to have him as a relative. i was never afraid to ask him about anything, and i could tell him anything. i never got to thank him for what he did and i wish iwould of taken the time to do so. but for all his family , im sorry about this loss in your life and my thoughts and prayers are with you. and once again Dr. Laskar was one of the greatest person i have even met.

Dr. Michael Laskar was a very special person to our family. He was always there for you and always there to help. He was there at our wedding to sign our ketubah. He would always give us medical advice when one of our family members was sick. He was my doctor for about 25 years and one of the best friends a person could have.

What a wonderful experience it was to know him! He was not only a wonderful
doctor to our family for 20 + years, but what seemed to be a part of our family.
In July 2005 he diagnosed my husband with a stomach infection and had him admitted to the hospital with what we would
later discover to be kidney cancer. Without
Dr. Laskar's concern and wisdom we may never have detected the cancer. Bill had his right kidney removed and is cancer free today. We want you to know your husband
and father was a very caring man and will be missed greatly.

Dear Laskar family and staff,
My family and I are so very saddened to learn of Dr. Laskar's passing. He was my mother's and brother's personal physician for the last 15 years. My mother admired him greatly, his kind and gentle nature was one that you didn't expect from a doctor, but was so thankful for. When I told her of his passing, she was shocked as we all were. She said she felt as if she lost her best friend.
Eventhough his partner, Dr. Noah Johnson is my Dr.,I was so grateful for all of the times Dr. Laskar took care of my family.
I hope his memory will be strong in your hearts forever, as he will be greatly missed by my family. We are honored to have known him and his wonderful staff.

I am deeply saddened by Michael's death. My entire family met the Laskars when we moved to San Diego. Though we weren't good friends until many years later, I always enjoyed seeing him. His humor, compassion, and warmth will be sorely missed.
My wife Cindy and I have shared many pleasurable occasions with the Laskars. In the last couple of years, we became much closer to Michael. For selfish reasons, I will truly miss him. We were beginning to develop our friendship and I welcomed the opportunity to spend more time with him and get to know him better. The Laskar family and his patients can rejoice in having had the pleasure of knowing and loving one fine gentleman and doctor.
Rest in peace my friend.

Our Family wishes to offer their Sincere Sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers of Dr.Michael Laskar, our doctor (along with Dr.Gary Johnson) since he first began his practice in Santee.
He will be missed by my husband who thanked him everytime he was in his office, for encouraging him to quit smoking, and for saving his life for that reason.
I will miss the looks he gave me when I tossed him one of my
smug remarks concerning health issues from time to time, and of course the sound advice he tossed back after pondering on the subject for just awhile longer than usual.
Then of course there was the time he stopped by the ER (with his children, on the way to pick up a relative at the airport) just to make sure one of our sons was being taken care of properly by the ER staff at Grossmont Hosp. while having severe asthma problems. Just another example of what a genuine caring man and Family Physician, we had the good fortune to have in our lives for this short time.
Goodbye beloved friend and physician.

Its hard to understand why the LORD takes people at the times he does. He must have needed a straight shooten fellow up there like Dr. Laskar.
You always knew where Dr.Laskar was coming from and he didnt sugar coat issues with me while I was his patient. You can see the integrity in his eyes. May the "Comforter" be with his family, friends, and office staff. Your in my prayers.
God speed Dear fellow-
