Not sure what to say?

As before in my note, enough can't be said about Dr. Dow and his whole life and career. I still think about him often and so sorry for his whole family. Can't wait to see him in heaven someday. Lovingly, Marcia

We just found out about his passing. What a wonderful doctor and kind man. He delivered both our sons. We will never forget him.

I will never lose my wonderful memories of this wonderful man and best ever Dr. I think of him often and wish he was still enjoying his retirement, which he really deserved!!!! He delivered my 3rd daughter Amy in Jan.of 1981. He would ask about her each time I saw him. He would be so proud of her, now an RN manager is a large NICU in Georgia . I feel so much grief for his family and friends. God must of needed him in heaven and I hope to see him someday when I am there. He was...

Dr. Dow saved my life after my c-section. I had a reaction to a medication and went into anaphylactic shock. He knew what was happening and treated me aggressively. And his shoes, he said I owed him a new pair as my amniotic fluid spashed onto his feet! I never did replace them. This man was amazing as an MD and person. I too missed my annual checkup when the receptionist informed me he had passed away. I can't express my sadness, many tears and much grief. What an amazing person...

Russ: my fondest memories are of of playing Beatles music in the Tufts dorm, sharing a lobster dinner when we were medical students, and of your always kind, encouraging and warm friendship. I still think of you with joy and appreciation. Sheila

More than a year later I am still struggling with the loss of Dr. Dow.

I was very sad to hear of Doctor Dow's passing. I only heard last week!

Doctor Dow was there for my husband and I 20 years ago when we were young and a little terrified to embark on the journey of my pregnancy and parenthood. He delivered my amazing son and has an honored place in my life. We will remember him forever!

I was very sorry to hear that
Dr. Dow, my caring, kind, and
loving doctor had passed away.
He was my doctor for 35
years. He delivered my four
children. At my office visits he
always made me feel like I was
his only patient. He always wanted to know about. " his
kids" when I would come for my
annual exams.My prayers go
out to his family and friends.
There aren"t words to express
how much this wonderful man
will be missed.

It has taken me a long time to write something here, as the loss of Dr. Dow, who was my doctor for 26 years, leaves me very sad indeed. I could echo so much of what has already been written about his kindness, his caring attitude, his greeting of "Hello my friend" or his ability to be so very reassuring when you were dealing with a difficult health issue. I was so upset to get his letter about his retirement, as it was just at the point I was about to make an appointment for my annual visit...
