Thank you for taking the time at Dr. Codin's wake to share some of the stories we seem to all remember. He was a wonderful man and it was an honor to have him as a friend and doctor. We would not have had the children we had if not for him. Something I will be forever in his debt. His genuine concern and care will never be matched. May he rest in peace.

Uncle Ken was not only our family doctor and a father figure to me, but one of the most influential people in my life. I have fond memories of him making house calls on snowy nights and never wearing a heavy coat. He helped us through our growing pains and remained a mentor and friend throughout his life. The fond memories of him are too numerous to list, but our repeated competition for the last piece of blueberry pie brings a smile to mind and on one occasion chased me with a big fake syringe. Teaching my son cribbage, helping me built my first model car, and his love of power tools which he employed with gusto around his beloved summer home in Westport, are priceless. His devotion to his patients went above and beyond his duty and his profession was truly a calling for him. We will remember him fondly and will miss him very much. May you rest in peace Uncle Ken.

My condolences to you on the loss of a wonderful man. Doctor Codin was our family physician when I was growing up in Stoneham. He was a good friend to my parents Chester and Marian Polk. So good in fact that my brother Kenneth was named for him. He delivered my two sisters as well. I remember many home visits when we were young and his being very supportive of my Mother when my Dad was diagnosed with brain cancer. When my cousin and I decided to have our ears pierced he took time to be sure they were done correctly. And I remember his wonderful collie dog that visited his patients especially when they were receiving needles. A "real" family doctor in every sense of the word. Sincerely, Jeanne Polk Warnock, Reading MA.

Dr. Codin was not only a family doctor and friend, but one of the most influential people in my life. I have fond memories of him making housecalls on snowy nights at our Franklin St. home and taking time to have a cup of tea with my grandmother, Mamie; but more importantly his intervention gave me the two most wonderful and caring parents a child could have and I am forever thankful. From walking me down the aisle in place of my deceased father, attending my graduation from nusing school and bringing two of my three children in the world, I cannot image my life without this caring family friend and physician. He will always hold a special place in my heart.

I remember Dr. Codin giving me my small pox vacination in 1945 before I started first grade. I was five years old and it was in my grandparents' bedroom on Franklin Street in Stoneham.

So sorry for your loss. He was my family's doctor when he was in Stoneham. My Mother grew up with him as her doctor and he then was my doctor as well as my brother & sister. He was a great Doctor and a very compassionate person. We still talk about him to this day that there are no more Doctors like him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. He will be greatly missed.
