Not sure what to say?

I remember that Tom, Sr. was an instructor in the Department of Anatomy at the University of Miami School of Medicine. I remember my first exposure to a 'real' private physician when he taught my class of freshmen medical students the anatomy of the skull. We were assembled in the 2nd floor auditorium in the Central Bldg. at JMH in the days prior to Power Point and fancy slides. Dr. Zaydon, Sr. would sit on the edge of the stage as we gathered around him showing us the anatomy while he...

David Reis and Edith Reiss extend their deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Thomas John Zaydon. Such a loss will be felt by the many people that he touched. But be assured the the treasured memories we captured deep in our hearts will keep the spirit of this amazing man alive for years to come.

God speed Dr. Zaydon,
In 1956 when I was 16 you saved my foot after a motorcycle accident and changed my life. When others wanted to amputate my foot you said no, and several operations and three skin grafts later I walked. I went on to become a commercial pilot and retire as a senior 747 Captain for a major airline. I still fly today. Surely my life would have turned out differently were it not for your skill and care. I am a father,grandfather and great-grandfather because of you. ...

Your talents will be sorely missed. I was a patient of Dr. Zaydon's and I cannot express how my life was changed because of him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Zaydon family.

We could only hope to live the example of a full life of accomplishments and
Christianity that Dr. J Zaydon
lived. We pray for peace &
comfort for the Zaydon family.

Dear Dr. Thomas Zayden Jr.,Louis and family,

Our condolences to you.Your father touched so many lives including ours. He has left behind a wonderful legacy and lasting influence for the Zayden family and the medical profession.

Dear Zaydon Family,

I worked in Dr. Zaydon's office for more than 25 years. It was truly a privilege to have an employer as kind and generous as Dr. Zaydon. I will always remember how he treated every patient with caring and benevolence no matter what their curcumstances were. In our lives we meet far too few people of such great character as Dr. Zaydon; he will be long remembered by me (and my son Charles).

Dr. Thomas Zaydon Sr., was one of the most important persons in my life, I will always remember and cherish a very honorable and gracious man. I worked for Dr. Zaydon Sr. for many years in which I felt like part of the family, always admire and will always look up to such a wonderful man. May the Lord Always be with Him.
