Dear Dr Aganad, just a small addition to our conversation in your office, there is one thing that brought me some comfort, and that is "He had to go Home". Maybe this will help you . I did not know your father, but the way you spoke of him, he had to be a major influence on your life, and what a great person you are, especially in such great foot steps. God Bless you all!

Dear Dr.Janet Aganad and Family
There are no words that could possibly describe the sorrow, sadness, and emptiness that the loss of your father has caused to everyone who knew him and especially you.
Dr."G" as we used to call him had a very unique and special way to touch lives, relate to people and enjoy life to the fullness even with the most simple things known to mankind.
I will always remember Dr.G's generosity, his loud laughs, jokes and the passion and dedication to all of his patients and at the very end his legendary phrase "It could be better", relating to always looking for perfection in his care for every patient.
Dr.Janet, He has left us, But not before assuring himself that his daughter, You, Dr.Janet will continue the ministry of touching and healing people's lives and souls in a great and distinctive manner.
Dr.Gordiano, rest in peace now.
Thank you for all the knowledge you gave me, for the care you provided for my kids Christopher, Jeffrey, Daniel and as you used to say "Cuatro" Nicholas, my wife Linda and myself Rey.
Dr.Gordiano, you will always be remembered, live forever in our hearts and minds and assure yourself that your legacy could not be in better hands.

Dr Janet ,family and extended family especially Ling,
Dr Aggie's favorite time was to be around you. How ironic a man who had the kindest heart it became weak. To Ling thank you for giving your life for the Aganad's. How he appreciated you, especially your cooking. Dr Aggie now is at his ultimate home where there is only peace without suffering. Take comfort we will meet again . We all know he found every garage sale in heaven. :)

Mrs. Aganad, Dr. Janet and Family -- I cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Dr. Aggi was mine and my husbands first doctor when we moved to Franklin Park. We loved him not only for his expert medical care but for his kindness and caring.
Dr. Janet, you are always in my heart for YOUR expert care that you give to me and gave to Richard throughout the years, and for YOUR kindness and compassion, which is just like your father.
Your entire family are in my prayers during this time of great loss and will be always.
Michelle Del Priore (the late Richard)

Our sympathy goes out to the Aganad family. I will remember him treating me at Schiller Park in 1990 for the first time. Our present medical care is Dr. Janet Aganad. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,fortunatly.

Dr Janet and family
Please accept the sympathy of many in the Schiller Park and Franklin Park area. Dr "Aggie's" smile was contagious for many years at Gottlieb Hospital. He touched many. You father was so proud of you and your accomplishments thus far, may you carry on his legacy. He will surround you with his presence, be comforted by this. Now your big smile is a huge presence at the Hospital. You've become not only a good doctor because of him you became a great Doctor because of him. There is no greater gift. Our sorrow is with you.

Dear Shirley,
Thank you so much for your phone call. Dr. Aggi was one of a kind and that's how he felt about you Shirley, his care giver and protector and best friend. We have been honored by your visits and friendship and now have many beautiful momentos to remember Dr. Aggi by, the stained glass, the masks, the shells but most of all memories of one of the biggest and warmest hearts we have been blessed knowing. Your life must have been filled with love and laughter even through his sick days. He was a selfless and brave soul accepting life as was and still making every attempt to finish the unfinished. God bless and rest his soul and shower you with happiness only family can bring to fill the emptiness left by a great man. With Love and Aloha THE HOLDEN OHANA in Hawaii. A Hui Ho Our Friend!
