Not sure what to say?

A truly wondeful leader with whom I had the privilege of working with, and for, many years. Very pleasant memories.

His legacy lives on.

Remembering a graceful and thoughtful teacher and colleague whose moral compass was dependable.

With passage of time, the legacy of Robert Moellering is a bit more clear to some of us who are inspired by him. His scholarly,clinical, and administrative accomplishments are well known. We remember him as a man with access to power who never lost his moral compass.

I was Dr. Moellering's chief medical resident in 1983-1984. I postponed my fellowship to stay one more year with a mentor I knew I'd never see the likes of again. As much as I learned greater depths of medicine from him, I value even more the humility, respectfulness, and ability to inspire that he taught by example. And I was right all those years ago...I have not encountered his equal in the ensuing 30 years of practice, teaching, and research,

I had the honor of working for Dr. Moellering in the late 1980's. His personal and professional character was an inspiration to all who had he privilege of knowing him. His level of kindness, patience and respect was shown to all. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to his family. Nancy Butler

Dr. Moellering had the rare combination of brilliance, humility and kindness. He will be truly missed....

Dear Dr. Moellering,

Though it has been more than a decade, I remember you as if it were yesterday. An outstanding physician, a dedicated leader, a wonderful teacher. But most of all, I remember your caring and warmth, your kindness, your integrity, your humor, smile and laughter, and how you were loved and admired by so many. Thank you for all that you have done. Peace be with you and may God be with you and your family always.

I was sad to learn the news – Even after many years I remember his kindness. He was for me a great privilege to work in his lab. We will miss him as a great scientist and a great man.
