Ronald Singer M.D.

It was an honor working for Dr. Singer. I admired Dr. Singer and often think about how much I learned from him. Warm and sincere thoughts to his lovely wife Shirley and his children and grandchildren. What I mentioned about Dr. Singer in prior years still holds very true.

Fond Memories. Wonderful, highly intelligent, caring person. Always willing to share his knowledge. What I said In 2006 still remains: It was an honor to know and work for Dr. Ronald Singer (I worked for him in his last years at the University of Chicago). His family and research meant very much to him. Dr. Singer was always eager to share that knowledge, and I have learned much from him while enjoying the stories he would relate about his research and the people he knew and worked...

I have come upon this guest book very late while searching online for a photo of Dr Singer, my first mentor. While attending school for one year only as a first year student at the University of Chicago, I had procured a wonderful part time job as a still and motion photographer in Dr. Ruth Rhines' laboratory.

Ron made a lasting positive impact on many lives as a teacher, father, and friend. It was an honor to...

We have know Ron through his son Charles. We enjoyed time together over the past years with our children. Ron was a wise man. His lively conversations were a demonstration of his compassion and caring. He made a huge difference in the lives of the thousands of students and faculty he touched. He will be missed.

Sonia and I have been close friends since high school, a few years ago now. I appreciate the opportunity to know Dr. Singer and only wish that as a teenager I had taken advantage of that opportunity more. Dr. Singer was kind, funny and fasicnating. I understand now, what great contributions he made in the areas of medicine, research and education. However for me, he will always be Sonia's Dad, a warm, inviting, interesting, intelligent, special person. I am sure he is missed by all who...
