My names is Theresa Foti-Serko and I was a patient of Dr. Warner. In December, 2009 I was diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer, NETS. I had the benefit of being in the care of this wonderful, tireless man, until his retirement from Mt. Sinai in 2016. Sir, may you have Eternal Peace

I am the daughter-in-law of Anthony Lewis. I think Tony and your dad were friends at Horace Mann. We recently came across a box of Judaica that belonged to Tony. This kippot was in the box. I thought you´d like to know given that your father just passed away.

Richard was a true pioneer that brought neuroendocrine tumors out of dark obscurity and into the light for all to see. Disease awareness would not be what it is today without his decades of tireless efforts. Seeing and talking with him at conferences was always a joy and I loved the times he visited my clinics at Oregon Health & Science University and I enjoyed visiting him in New York. He encouraged and inspired people to be specialists in the field. I will cherish the memories and always be...

What a loss to the world! Dick was a wonderful person and a very dedicated physician. He taught me everything I ever knew about carcinoid and NET! His memory will be permanent among his friends, colleagues and patients who were lucky to learn from him.

To the family of Dr. Warner, The world has lost an incredible individual and irreplaceable physician. My sincerest condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and patients of Dr. Richard Warner. Peace, prayers, and blessings, Barbara Bright Zitta Lung Carcinoid Patient

May his memory be a blessing to all of us who knew him, I remember Dr. Richard as a person of wide interests and endless energy, who led a family of medical luminaries from the generation before into the future. I was the neighbor and a close friend of Richard´s eldest, J.P. The Warner family was inspiring, worldly and sophisticated. I remember the charming Dr. Gloria publishing on psychoanalysis and Shakespeare. And Dr. Richard lent his enlarger so J.P. and I could print photographs in an...

My husband saw Dr Warner when he was diagnosed with Carcinoid cancer of the small intestine in 2011. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Not much was known about Carcinoid cancers and we were lucky that there was a physician in St Thomas, Virgin Islands, who had worked with Dr Warner. His cancer might never have been diagnosed. Thanks to a really good VI surgeon his cancer was entirely removed. There has not been any evidence of it since. He was put on Sandostatin for many years after.
