Not sure what to say?

I was a patient of Dr. Foglia. In March of 1997 I was born at 28 weeks with Necrotizing Endocolitis. After 5 months of surgeries I never had another issue and got to go home. Here I am almost 27 years later with a son of my own. Always meant to go to Dallas to visit. So sad. He will be missed. A great Doctor.

I had the honor of working as Dr. Foglia's Exec Admin a couple of years before he retired from UTSW at Children's. You will be dearly missed. Prayers and condolences to the Foglia family.

I had the privilege of being one of Bob's mentors in his pediatric surgery training and I followed his career with pride. Pediatric surgery will miss him. Kathy Anderson.

He will be missed.

Doctor Bob was a wonderful fishing friend! We had several trips to Patagonia and the Bahamas! What a wonderful guy, I am sad for our loss.
