MONROE KARETZKY

Dear Dr. K, I just want to thank you for helping me with my Plu issues for over 10 years and I enjoyed the help and education you have given me over the years. Even after I was told to find another Plu specialist In 2020 I couldn't bare to find another specialist and on this day I finally understand why I kept saying I think something happened. I myself found myself not having my asthma controlled since our last visit. I'm currently in St Barnabas Hospital from a severe attack and almost...

Dear Patty, There are no words to tell you how sorry Peter and I are to learn of your loss. Sending love, thoughts and prayers to you and your dear family. Monroe touched so many lives in the best way. Ours are among the lives to have shared and enjoyed his company with all his dignity, grace and so much humor. Holding you close in our thoughts. Love, Jennifer Graham Dr. Peter Graham

It was with great shock and utter dismay that I only learned this month, January 202-, of the death of my great Mentor, Idol and friend, Dr. Monroe S Karetzky. I so admired and emulated “Doc” in every way that I could....as a Scientist, friend, loving husband and family man. The greatest times of my life were spent under his caring eye; he nurtured me to become all that I am today....and I am so grateful to Doc and Patti for their friendship and encouragement.

I shall hold Doc,...

It is unfortunate that I only this month, January 2020 that I learned of the death of Dr Monroe Karetzky, my mentor, my idol and my friend. Through many long years working with “Doc”, I had the best years of my life. Literally, legions of people in NYC and New Jersey had their lives enriched, and in many cases, SAVED by Doc. I’ve never had a more wonderful boss, medical director and inspiration than Doc. He was more than all that....for me, he and Patti were great and wonderful friends.

Monroe Karetzky was my cousin. Even as a teenager, he was always friendly, smart, and generous— much like his father, Al Karetzky, M.D. He well deserved his wonderful, generous, wife, Patricia, a famous scholar in her own right.

Having an impressive cousin like him occasionally had its downside when I was a boy. It was sometimes suggested to me after I had “gotten into trouble” that I should try to be more like Monroe.

My sympathies go out to his family members for...

Please except my deepest sympathies as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friends.

Dear Patty and family: so sorry to hear about the passing of my good friend and colleague Monroe. I recall with fondness the evenings that
Ethel and I spent with you and Monroe and more recently with Mary Alice.
The Times obituary captured so well his bravery during these past difficult months as well as his intelligence and independence of thought. May his life serve as a blessing for you and the adult children.
