Peter Guzy

Dr. Guzy will forever be in my heart as a colleague and friend. So many fond memories, especially his love of the Blues.. Missing you still. Rest Well!

Peter taught me the use of humor to place patients at ease. 45 years later I still refer to the following conversation at a patient´s bedside at the old UCLA Hospital: Peter: What do you think of the food here? Patient: Not bad at all. Peter: Oh, you are much too sick to go home.

A few days after his death, I had conveyed here that Dr. Guzy was "the cardiologist I selected for my own father's care, not only because of his skill as a physician, but because of his unparalleled ability to simply convey his caring nature and wonderful humanity, which we will greatly miss." A dozen years later I can, along with confirming the endurance of those personal perceptions, add a professional one: a common clinical duty which I carry out is interpreting cardiac stress tests for...

Dear Peter, We have missed you so much these past 12 years. Your voice, your laugh, your stories, your sound advice, your medical wisdom; countless loving memories of your presence in our lives. Almost daily, we find ourselves asking, "What would Peter/Uncle Peter think about this?" We love you and cherish the wisdom you have passed on to us. We feel richly blessed by the time we spent together and our continued memories of it.

Dear Peter it´s been 10 years since you left your family and co-workers, we miss you. Working with you was always a learning experience, I was a better person because of you. Janie

Dearest Dr. Guzy...I still remember all the warm conversations and hugs we shared while working at UCLA. Your smile, compassion for your patients and extra ordinary medical skills were matched by your musical talents and loving personality. You will forever remain in my heart....Still missing you

It's 10 years now since your passing and I still feel the pain of missing you. You were irreplaceable, a "one of a kind" physical and spiritual healer. There is not a day that goes by where I don't think of you and how blessed I am to have known you.

Dr. Peter Guzy will always be remembered by me as a great man, great person, great physician and great Cardiologist. He loved music and healing the heart... It is a miracle because music soothes the soul and the heart beats for the soul. What a true gift he was to us.. Sleep well my friend! You are truly missed.

In memory of our brother and uncle, Peter, who guided us, enriched our lives, guarded our health, and made us laugh--your love and memory are with us always . . . .
