DR. STEPHEN PAUKER

It was a rare privilege to have served with Steve on ACP BOR. He was so insightful and funny and humble. A great asset to the practice of medicine and care of patients.

Gone never forgotten

I was a member of the Tufts Medical School Class of 1980 and remember the excellent lectures given by Dr. Pauker in our first and second years of school.

Hi Sue, I am sorry to know if Steve´s passing so long after the fact. I regret that I became aware of it only at the Ron Arky event. I hope I didn´t augment your grief. Steve was a remarkable scientist and human. Though I did not interact with him much when we were classmates at Harvard, but got to know him better at Tufts faculty events and, of course, during many trines he was a loyal Longwood groupie I take my hat off to you for all the love and support you gave him, especially during...

Margie and I are so saddened to have just heard of Steve´s passing and want to convey our condolences to you Sue the family. The memories of our times together in Eliot House and then in adjacent rooms at Vanderbilt Hall come flooding back. Can still hear him shouting out our name when he realized that Sherry and our son Dan were moving in to the same freshman dorm at Harvard on the same day. He was clearly the most brilliant member of our medical school class and so his remarkable career...

I was lucky enough to have met Stephen when he travelled to CA to visit with my brother Jonathan and his wife Sherry - Stephen's daughter and my beloved sister-in-law. Although he was quiet at our large family gathering, he never missed a beat, and when he did speak, it was cutting and astute. I will always remember his wry humor mixed with warmth. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear this. Worked with Steve in the 1980's at Tufts NEMC. Had a few publications when Allergy Immunology and Decision analysis intersected. Steve would always exhort get the information and then peddle hard to get a manuscript. We lived in Weston and knew all the Paukers well. I remember an intense discussion of how to make a perfect Pinewood Derby racer with Steve as my son Mark was a year behind Scott in the cub scouts. Our elder daughter Alison looked up to Sheridan, who helped...

I had known Steve almost as long as Sue...she and I were roommates at Tufts...and friends forever. I was in the dorm room when Sue came back from their first date...and said that's the most intelligent man I've ever met...she knew brilliance when she heard it. Long life, Long marriage, two fabulous children...Steve, we will all miss you... Rest in Peace, my friend

I am a nurse at Tufts and met Stephen in the early 1970's. I was the Nurse Manager on Proger 5 South. We were implementing a new nursing practice called Primary Nursing. I met with Stephen and explained the concept and structure of the new practice and asked him to make sure there was a nurse on rounds when his service was on the unit. One day I was at desk, and I hear from down the hallway, Pat "I am not going into this room without the nurse caring for this patient." I looked at him and he...
