Not sure what to say?

I have just heard of Dr Waynev passing. He was so cool and down to earth. Always direct and with kindness. He saved my life. He could walk on water. God bless him as he blessed many.

I just this moment learned of his passing & I am saddened & shocked. He was MY doctor & I genuinely adored him, his heart warming bedside manner & skill. He saved me. And when the cancer returned 15 years later, he saved me AGAIN! His absence makes the world a little darker but I will forever remain grateful to him. He was one of a kind!

Dr. Wayne Christopherson. Pittsburgh PA. An ethical, kind, compassionate, and brilliant man, the world was a better place for all his patients. Sincere and heartfelt sympathy to his family.

I am so sad to hear of Wayne's passing. He was my attending as a medical student, when I experienced his kindness, intelligence, and warmth firsthand, and it was not long before we became very good friends. I will always remember his smile and sunny disposition as well as his surgical skill. Rest gently, good friend.

Farewell, my friend!
All who met Wayne are forever diminished by his passing. The CSC "Coffee Club" just won't be the same without his wit, knowledge, and insight. You will be mourned.

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen.

I am sorry to lean the Dr. Christopherson passed away. He was my surgeon in 1986. Because of his skill, I was able to raise my children and have a happy and productive life. I am forever grateful. He was a wonderful and kind doctor. Rest in peace.

I am deeply sorry for you loss. Wayne was an incredible man, and extremely nice. I always had a great time sharing the rifle range with him and listening to his stories when it was all of the guys hanging out. My wife was also very fortunate to work him in the OR during one of his cases on call. She talked about how kind he was to all of the staff that day and how he was skilled in the care that he provided as well. Looking back on these memories, he was a great guy that will truly be missed.

My deepest sympathies & condolences on the passing of Dr. Christopherson. He was not only a phenomenal Surgeon, but also a very compassionate man & true gentleman. Since his retirement, Room 6 has not been the same - especially with the presence of his Cowboy boots wherever he went. Now, the World will truly feel empty without his presence. He made such a powerful impact on so many lives & will be forever loved & missed by us all!
