My parents have passed on and Kurt and I send our love and sympathies. Thank you for enriching our families during our years in Raleigh.

I just heard of the loss of a kind and humorous gentleman. Please express my sincere condolences to Emma Garnet, Bill and the rest of the family. As a young married couple, Emma Garnett and Benton were great role models, sounding boards and helped us remember to keep laughter in our marriage. I am sure that he and Dr. Louis Wilkerson are discussing UNC and NCSU basketball as we speak. Sincerely, Lyn and Phil Triplett

Dr. B was the best doctor I have ever had. Not only did he know medicine...he knew people. Most places make you feel like a check on their checklist. Dr. B made you feel like you were the most important person in the room. Carson, I knew you best and wish I could give you a hug. Although I did not personally know the rest of you, I do feel that I know you through all of the pictures and stories your dad and husband shared over the years. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Dr. B was my Dr. , my friend and often my salvation for over 40 years. I loved him as such and am so saddened by his death. I all seems so unfair. He had just begun to enjoy that time in his life when he could finally devote his time towards all the loving rewards he had so earned and deserved. I am glad that he is at peace with God but am going to miss his presence on this earth. To Carson and all his family I wish you PEACE as well and I will pray for your hearts to heal. God bless this WONDERFUL man.

Dr. B. literally saved my life. After the birth of my son via c-section I started running extremely high fevers. The nurses would not listen to me. Finally Dr. Satterfield came in the room and found me crying. He asked me what was wrong and I told him I was dying and no one would listen to me. He listened and even though the area of the c- section was not red he opened it up. The worse green stuff gushed out...it was gangrene. He acted so fast and he made me feel save. Later he said I would have died.
He was my hero for ever more! He was a great physician. God bless his family.

Prayers for the loss of a wonderful Dr. I have known Dr. B since the late 60's. I was a Rex Student Nurse, then employee.
He was a mentor and became my OB, along with Dr. Courie, who delivered my wonderful children.
Being a huge NC State fan, I often encountered him at home games.

Sorry to hear that Dr. B has died. He was a great doctor. I took care of many of his patients through the years at Rex. He was my mom' doctor for many years. He was my doctor for at least 20 years. He would always talk about his family.

I am saddened to hear of Dr. B's passing. He was such a special, loving person. He delivered me in 1973 and then took care of me as a teenager and young adult. Sadly he had quit delivering babies by the time I was ready. I would see him at NCSU football games and made sure to get my bear hug! Sending lots of love, prayers, and hugs to the entire Satterfield family.

Dr. Satterfield was my doctor for over 20 years when he retired. He was the best doctor, with a great bedside manner. During one appointment, I started to feel a little woozy, so he made me lie back, and put a wet washcloth on my forehead and held my hand until I felt better. They don't make them like Dr. Satterfield any more!

To the Satterfield family: I am deeply sorry for your loss. Dr. Satterfield was somewhat of a mentor to me early in my career as an OB/GYN and I nearly joined him in practice back in 1994. I developed a relationship with him then but we lost touch over the years since I practiced in Cary.
I ran into him recently while out at dinner and two days later paid him a visit. We spent a nice afternoon together talking about the good old days of medicine. He also spoke a lot about how proud he was of his family. I had planned to return this week and bring him a Christmas present.
He is a real legend in Raleigh medical lore and there will never be another one like quite him. He had a true love of and dedication to his patients. He will forever be one of my most revered role models in medicine. Blessings on the Satterfield family during this difficult time.

Dear Emma Garnett & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Benton, as he was so lovingly called-was one of the kindest men I have ever known. He truly was a southern gentleman. Not many people are cut from that special cloth these days, but Benton was one of them. I will always carry the happy memories that my sister Mary Kathyrn shared with my family of him. Rest in his loving arms Doc B.

Dr. Satterfield, known by all as a loving husband and father as well as a caring physician will be missed. As a member of the community even with all of his personal and career commitments he found time to serve those in need. One of the ways that was of importance to him was his volunteer leadership with the local Red Cross chapter.
Over 45 years ago he started his involvement with the Red Cross by joining the Board of Director, for what was then the Wake County Chapter. He was instrumental in the chapter's decision and ability to move to its new building, in 1973, which is the current location still today of 100 Peartree Lane. This was possible only though extensive fundraising and planning efforts and as Chair elect Benton played a key role.
Dr. Satterfield served as Board Chair from 1973 to 1976 and never relinquished being a volunteer and donor for the remainder of his life. His dedication, service and support over the many years was recognized and honored when he was voted a Lifetime Membership to the Board of Directors in 2011.
Dr. Benton Satterfield, a man of many passions and loves in his life. May each of us carry his spirit of generosity and commitment to serve others forward in our lives and thereby honor him.
To his family, and especially to Carson, whom I know the best, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
