Not sure what to say?

I am so sad to hear of Hawk's passing. We had worked together doing Independent Medical Evaluations since 1992, and his advice was instrumental in helping me start my own company back in 2004. Whether it be working with a complex medical issue or doing presentations to insurance carriers, I've never known a more enthusiastic, tireless person always trying to, above all, do the right thing. He treated everyone he met with dignity and respect. He always kept a small notebook in his shirt...

Hawk did surgery on my husband's knee many years a go and being a nurse I have known him for a long time. Lovely, kind, gentle man...I am so sad at his loss....Happy trails Dr Hawkins and hugs to you Kathie and all of his family! He will be missed by all!

In 1979 after a devastating soccer injury I was lucky to have Dr Richard Hawkins re-attach my medial collateral knee ligament that was torn from the bone. With his skill and guidance I was ski racing within 6 months. For 38 years since I have not missed a single day of ski racing or soccer due to this knee. I have not taken this for granted. I have always maintained Hawk saved my athletic life... My sincere condolences.

To Kathy and all of Hawk's Family we wish you our deepest sympathy. The Pan Mass Challenge won't be the same without his optimistic spirit and shining smile.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

RIP dear friend. So many great memories and good times I'll never forget the or you. You touched us in so many ways. Grateful for the time we had.

Not only a great surgeon but one of the nicest human beings I've ever had the pleasure to know. So Sad

If it weren't for Dr. Hawkins..I would not be walking today! I owe much to this Man for treating me, and sending me on to Children's Hospital...My condolences to His Family. Donna H.
