Im so sorry for your loss he was a fantastic Dr. I had breast cancer at the age of 30 and had 2 small children ages 4 and 8 Dr. Hartrampf and the pray of God saved my life plus seven other Dr's I can remember Dr. Brown I can't remember the other doctors name's the night before Dr. Hartrampf asked me if he could do the the surgery all in one weekend and I told him yes after my surgery he asked me to talk to this lady that was about 20 yrs. Older then me, I told him yes because she was scared to have the surgery . I am so thankful for Dr. Hartrampf for saving my life I got to see my kids grow up into amazing young adults and get Married and have kids of there own.

I was Dr Carl's Care giver for about 6 months or so during his last few months with us. I remember his kindness more than anything. He said to me that he wished he would be around when I get old so that he could take care of me the way I had taken care of him. What a kind, polite, gentle and inspiring man. Rest In paradise Dr Carl ❤

After visiting with Carl in 1984 in Atlanta and viewing his outstanding work in breast reconstruction, I became so inspired that I devoted my 35 year experience as a Plastic Surgeon to emulating his contribution to the field. He was a giant in the field of Reconstructive Surgery and will be sorely missed. Please accept my condolences for your loss of such a great man and a outstanding mentor. Sincerely Joseph W. Rucker MD FACS

Although I did not know Dr. Hartkrampf, I may be alive today because of him. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 42 and had a mastectomy and the reconstruction procedure, Dr. Hartkrampf pioneered: the TRAM flap (abbreviated for the trans-rectus abdominal muscle that is used for implant). It was a pioneering procedure because a woman's own body is used for the implant: no saline, no silicone and much better cosmetic outcomes. My father, age 85, is also a retired surgeon and thanks to men like them who were dedicated to their patients and experimenting with new procedures, many of these patients enjoyed many more years of healthy life. My condolences to the Hartkrampf family but know that Dr. Carl's legacy lives on in many, many grateful women.

I was blessed to spend six amazing months with Dr. Hartrampf in 1989. He was the most impactful mentor in my life because of his innovative methodical thinking, his precise 3-D approach to breast reconstruction, his subtle humor, his gentle and kind approach to his patients and his Breast fellows, and his incredible generosity to share his vision with all. God bless Pat, their beautiful children and grandchildren. Carl will be missed but never forgotten. Hugs to all

Very few surgeons in any field have the opportunity, skill, and genius to innovate procedures that spawn an entire branch of the specialty and help countless patients. Dr. Hartrampf's amazing recognition and perfection of autogenous breast reconstruction was not only a phenomenon in itself, but inspired other surgeons to develop additional methods using the patient's own tissues for reconstruction. Through all of it, he remained a humble man, genuine to his friends and devoted to his patients. His photo hangs on my office wall with an encouraging note that he wrote many years ago. He will always remain an example to me and to many others of what an innovative and humanistic surgeon should be. Charlotte and I will always miss him.

My husband, Dr. Mark Constantian, and I send our heart-felt condolences to Pat and the family. We were very sad to hear this sad news. Dr. Hartrampf was a special friend and colleague for many years, and we always loved seeing him and his lovely wife, Pat, at a plastic surgery meeting. Dr. Hartrampf was a talented and skilled surgeon and was a wonderful educator and teacher to all who knew him. He will most definitely be missed.

A gentleman and an extraordinary teacher. He contributed tremendously toward my surgical education. I will remember him as a compassionate and warm fellow colleague.

This man will forever hold a special place in my heart! He was so smart and just as nice. I first "met" him when I was only a few weeks old and let's just say...I would not have the life I have now if not for him and his amazing talent. He will surely be missed by so many. Prayers for peace for the family. God bless!
