Dr. Subramania "Jay" Jegathesan

Dr. J has been gone a few years but people like me, who he operated on in 1982, still think of him. To this day as memories fade I still remember his last name clearly. All of these posts I read are as I remember him too. Such a kind, giving person

While biking on the trails in Bob Woodruff Park in Plano, Texas, I chanced upon a park bench memorializing Dr. Jegathesan. I did not know him or his family, but curiosity about the memorial led me to an internet search, and to this web site. My thanks to Dr. J's family for sponsoring a park bench in the memory of this man from my home state of Tamilnadu. He obviously made a positive impact on the lives of many people.

Almost 44 years ago, Dr. Jay saved my daughter's life. I loved this man. Rest in Peace, Doctor.

My heart is saddened to here of Dr. Jay's passing. I worked for this man 14 years and come to think of him as a father figure. My prayers are with his daughters and their families. I will miss him dearly. Mary Powers

We were your next door neighbors on Sleepy Hollow Drive for many years. We remember your dad as a kind, generous and caring gentleman. We frequently chatted "over the fence" on many a morning as we each departed for the hospital. He was a great man. I have retold the story of Bette many many times. Our sincere condolences.

I was one of the privileged nurses that got to work with Dr J in EOPC. I remember his passion for the children under his care. He always put his patients first. He had high expectations of the care we provided. I learned so much from him. I remember his laugh when you would catch him in a joking mood. Lifting the Jegathesan family up in prayers! May God´s peace be with you.

Im so sorry for your loss this man saved my life and i believe no one else could have done it. I was only 12, I'm 38 and living a successful happy life because of Dr.jay
