Only good memories of Dr. Perlman. He was so sensitive and gentle toward me when I was a child. He was probably a "resident" under the guidance of Dr. Joe Freiberg when I met him at Children's Hospital Clinic but his encouragement has always been a part of my life. Rest in Peace, Doctor.

Dr Perlman was one of the most unique individuals I have ever known. He was an amazingly dedicated doctor
,whose warmth and caring were
legendary.
Dr. Perlman represented (like
his wife and entire family ); all
that is good in our world.
He had a level of integrity that
you felt the moment you met
him.

My dear friend , Matthew, was
so fortunate to have had him as
his Father.
Dr. Perlman had almost a
renaissance man quality to him
In his curiosity for all things in
life.
I honestly thought he might live
forever. 96 Wow.
And yet imagine the courage he
must have had to carry him
through his life after surviving
his wonderful wife, Bette, his
brilliant Daughter, Sally, and his
one in a million Son, Matthew.
My love and very deepest
sympathy to Amy,Abby,Aaron,
Carol and Vic.
Pls know that Cindy and I and
all the Landsman's are thinking
of you .
We will find a special way to celebrate the incredible 96 year
life of a most Remarkable Man.
With all our love, Herb

Dr Perlman put my bones back together more times than I care to remember. He was a kind, and gentle man, who just knew how to help this kid relax...that it would be ok. Well that kid is 71 years old now, he was right, I have made it this far just as he said I would. Rest in peace Dr Perlman. You have left a glowing legacy for all of us.

I am a formal patient of Dr. Perlman he saw to it that I was able to lead a normal life. He taught me that there is no shame in being in a wheelchair. YOU WILL BE MISSED!

Dr. Perlman cared for the children that so many did not. He was a wonderful man whose hands and heart touched many, many families over the years. Although the Perlman Center will carry the spirit of his work, he will be remembered warmly, and missed.

I've never met Dr Perlman personally but my cousin was part of his staff that took care of him for the last 3 years and she always had great things to say about him. He was a man full of life and made every moment of his life count..God bless the family and I will be praying for you all

I will always remember Dr. Perlman with fondness. His voice was distinctive and warm and I always felt he was interested in me and had a great sense of humor. When we were sick he was always available with comfort and advice to us and to our mother. We had many friendly meals and visits to his house. I remember particularly that for several years we came to the Perlmans for the annual broadcast of The Wizard of Oz --the Perlmans were the first of our friends to have a color TV. Aaron and Bettie were extremely kind and solicitous neighbors while we were growing up, and always interested in speaking with us when we'd left the nest and came home to Cincinnati for a visit. I will miss them both. The best of neighbors.

I met the kind Dr. Perlman when I was a student nurse at Jewish Hospital in the 60s. Later as an RN at Children's, I was so impressed with his knowledge, and his work with the children. We were all blessed to have had Dr. Perlman in our lives.

Thank you for giving of yourself to children such as my son Matthew Powell. I will always remember the day you stopped by the Perlman Center and held my son and told him how important he was and the difference he could make in life. You seen things different from others and you believed these kids would succeed. You will be missed.

Back in the winter of 77, I was transferred to Childrens Hospital under the care of Dr. Pearlman.
At the time, I was very frail and lost nearly 45% of my body weight in just a couple months. For the most part I was dying at the age of 13. Under his strict care he discovered a viral infection that required me to stay at Childrens for 6 mos requiring two operations.
As my health improved I think he was very pleased at my recovery. Especially since he brought many residents by my room evey other day such as Dr Crawford and Dr Roth. I know without a doubt I was lucky he was there for me. I have tried to take advantage on my new lease on life thanks to Dr Pearlman and become a productive person. To the Pearlman family, I am just one former patient but I assure you I feel your loss as well and appreciate everything this great physician has afforded me in my life. My deepest of sympathy to you all.

Amy,

I helped your dad organize your family photos about 8 years ago. He was a kind man devoted to his family -- that was easily seen by the care he took with each photo. My thoughts are with you.

Aaron was a kind mentor, esteemed colleague and wonderful friend. His quest for knowledge was inexhaustible. And his capacity to overcome adversity was inspiring.
