I was saddened to hear of Dr. Raisners passing. I have been very lucky to have great doctors, and great individuals as my doctors throughout the years. Dr. Raisner was truly the one that was the best. He will be missed by me, and many others very much. My sympathies to his family.

My wife and I were deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Raisner's sudden death. We have both been patients at the Medfield practice for over 20 years. He was my doctor for the last 10 years. I found him to be a compassionate person who truly listened to me. As others have mentioned he also had a terrific sense of humor and often made me laugh. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayer are with his family, colleagues and friends.

Our family moved to Connecticut right around the time of Dr. Raisner's passing. I just opened my forwarded mail today and received the tragic news. My husband, myself and our son all saw Dr. Raisner during the last 6-7 years. I cannot tell you how many times he correctly diagnosed and treated our ailments. Dr. Raisner was a very professional, considerate doctor with a terrific bedside manner. He always had time for my husband who would call at the last minute. Dr. Raisner was a great man. Our thoughts and prayers are with his beloved wife, children, parents, family members and friends.

I belatedly learned of the passing of my favorite doctor, Dr. Raisner, and want to express to his wife and family how much I appreciated him as a physician. Over time Adam made a point to know me and my concerns and spent the time to help in any way he could. For his care I am very, very grateful, and I will miss him. God bless you all.

My sincerest condolences on your loss. Dr. Raisner was my doctor for the past 7-8 years. I have never had a doctor that was as "present" as Adam. He listened carefully and provided great care, while smiling constantly and sharing his great sense of humor. I will miss him.

I was a patient of Dr. Raisner for the last 10 years seeing him mostly for physical exams and other minor ailments. Over the last couple of years though, I have got to know him better as I dealt with more severe health issues. I last saw him only a month ago. He was always extremely caring and friendly, wearing that smile all the time. I enjoyed going to see him because I knew I would get the best care. I have been in shock ever since I received the news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.

Adam was my doctor from 1999 to 2007 and helped me through some health struggles. He'd always make enough time to talk about my condition, what I'd need to do or take and still cover the latest in music and sports before the appointment was over. I remember one visit when he asked me into his office so he could show me something on his computer. I thought he was retrieving medical information, but it turns out he was really excited about Pandora Internet Radio and wanted to show me how it worked.
Such a nice guy who was well thought of by my sisters and I. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Dear Raisner Family,
We were very saddened to hear of Dr. Raisner's passing. Dr. Abensohn is our Primary Care Physician, but I have been seen by Dr. Raisner as well. He was the PCP for my children. We all appreciated his thorough care and his very gentle, sweet spirit. Our prayers are with you all. May God bless you.

Dear Raisner Family,
I was deeply saddened and shocked while reading the letter notifying me of Dr Rasiner’s death. Dr. Raisner was my PCP for seven years. I was lucky to be a patient of his after moving to Medfield and can’t ask for a better doctor than him. Dr. Raisner was a wonderful person to talk to and a caring physician. He made my every visit felt like visiting a friend. He will be missed and remembered along with his smile. My heartfelt sympathies to all of you.

It was with a heavy heart that I read the letter notifying me of Dr. Raisner's tragic and untimely death. After moving to the Boston area Dr. Raisner became my doctor for 9 years. Not only did I feel I received the most current and top notch care through Dr. Raisner, I felt listened to. This loss weighs heavily on my heart and mind. I can only pray that Dr. Raisner is looking down now and feeling the prayers going up.
We are all blessed to have known him. There are simply not enough words.

Dear Raisner Family, and to all those whom Adam held dear to him,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad and difficult time. That Adam was such a wonderful man makes his passing all that much harder to bear. My husband Mike and I have been his patients for many years, and so have been lucky enough to benefit from his wonderful care as a physician, as well as having an opportunity to get to know a great person. We too spoke of our young children when we were in to see Adam, sharing the challenges and the joys of parenting. He was without doubt an amazing husband and father, and we can't imagine the void that must leave in the lives of his family. We do know though, that as his boys grow, they can be so very proud of the father and the man that their dad was - you have all been blessed to have him in your lives.
With Love and deepest sympathy,
The Drumm Family

Dear Harvey and Elaine,
Our hearts go out to you with much grief and sadness at this time in your lives. I have known the Raisner family since 1974, when Harvey was a key figure in bringing my family and me to West Hartford. Adam, Bruce, Lisa and Beth were students in the religious school, where I served as educational director. I knew all four children well for many years and Elaine and Harvey for about 34 years. A warmer and loving family one would not easily find. Adam graduated from college and then went on to Tel Aviv, to study medicine. I lost track of Adam, but would occasionally meet his parents who "shepped nachas" from their son Adam's accomplishments as well as those of all their children.
Harvey and Elaine, Riva and I wish to convey our sincere condolences upon your tragic loss, and truly hope that you and your children will never again experience such pain.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Raisner's passing and please accept my heartfelt condolences.
I have been a patient of his for the past several years and no one could have had a better doctor. He was truly a warm, kind and caring person and had a special way about him that made you feel better just talking to him.
My wife Jo-Ann and I felt very fortunate in having known him in our lives.
May God Bless Adam,

Dear Raisner Family,
My sincere sympathy for the loss of Adam. I met Adam 20 years ago while he and his friend Tony were in Daytona Beach taking photos of tourists on the beach that they would turn into those key chains that you hold up to the light. Adam and Tony convinced me to let them set up in my family's new surf shop and the two of them were so enthusiastic about their project that I was sold on the idea instantly. They would have their employees wear our company logo tee shirts and shorts and drive many people through the doors. Later that first night I could not believe how many people came through the shop to redeem their photos. Adam had the biggest smile on his face when I walked up knowing he had delivered on his promise. We formed an instant friendship and kept in touch through the years although I wish it would have been more often. I received photos of the boys through the years and felt like a part of me was there.
I received the dreaded phone call from Tony after he left Boston on his first visit to let me know the news.
I wish for all of you especially Anne and the boys peace and strength in the days and years ahead. He was an incredible person who will never be forgotten.
God Bless you all

I am so saddened to hear of Dr. Raisner's passing. I've been a patient of his since we moved here 9 years ago. He was always so warm and caring and I loved his laid back attitude. He was funny and easy going and always made me feel comfortable. My heart goes out to all of you and especially the children. I too, have two young boys and it was always something we chatted about. May they grow to imbibe their father's character and cherish his memories. You are in my thoughts.

Dear Raisner Family,
My deepest sympathy again for the loss of Adam. Thank you again for asking me to participate in his memorial service. It was an honor. He was a brother to me and I will miss him dearly. I am so proud of Adam and the great father, husband and Doctor he became. I will try to emulate him in the years to come.
Adam and I met when we were 8 or 9 and ever since we were close. Two buddies growing up. We did just about everything together.The paper routes, model rockets, the home run derby Adam and I had on b’nai b’rith baseball team. Adam was always a great athlete, and competitor. One game when we were 12, we both had hit 2 home runs. The next at bat. Wiff, I stuck out. Adam was up next. Bam! Out of the park! Oh the glory days! The green bombers soccer team, and those tennis matches where I just couldn’t seem to win a set off of Adam. Learning to drive that old yellow pinto with my dad teaching me and Adam how to work a manual transmission. Shifty shifty, breaky, breaky. Watch out for that light pole!
I’ll never forget the day I met Adam. I was this new kid at school. The Italian kid in West Hartford with the funny name. We were on the baseball field, of course, and there was Adam smiling with his hand out stretched. I’m Adam! And he ran back to the pitchers mound. The ball he left on the ground I picked up and threw it to him. But he wasn’t looking. “Adam look out!” another kid shouted. Wham right in that big, beautiful nose of his. Everyone ran out to the mound, me with terror that I had hurt my new friend! But he didn’t get mad at me. Didn’t blame me. Just said hey, don’t worry about it - it was an accident. Right then I knew I had a friend for life.
God bless you Adam, Anne, Nate and Jonah

Dr. Raisner was my Doctor for nine years. I will never forget how much I relied on him when I had a serious illness four years ago. When I got bad news from a test the technician said, “Your Doctor called, the office is closed, but he knows you will want to talk to him. He gave me his cell phone number and wants you to call him.” Just talking to him made everything better. He told me to try and relax and to watch the Red Sox games. Dr. Raisner was compassionate, encouraging, and funny. I will miss him so much.

I was a patient of Dr Raisner's for many years and worked in the same building as him. He was such a warm and compassionate person, always kind and helpful, always smiling. I say this as the utmost compliment that I always felt more like I was visiting a friend than going to the doctor. My heart goes out to his family for this tragic loss.
September 25, 2009
We were deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Raisner's untimely passing. He has been our physician since Dr. Sullivan's retirement and was a true friend who gave us the best of medical care. He had the gift of a great sense of humor with a twinkle in his eye. We admired him as a very competent physician but also as a man who was extremely proud of his family. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, sons, and expanded family.

The last time I saw Adam was when I picked him up at Palm Beach International Airport and drove him to his parents condo in Boynton Beach. We had a lively conversation about Jazz. I learned so much more from him than I contributed to the conversation.He was wonderful company. Only wish I could still have the chance to continue the conversation.

After moving from Florida Dr. Raisner became my doctor. I only saw him several times with minor stuff but he was wonderful to deal with and very personable. I am sure he will be missed greatly by all his patients and of course -- his family. It's hard to understand such profound losses in life -- and I'm sure Adam would want us all to celebrate in life even through this tragedy. His bright spirit, professionalism and kind ways are reminders of how we should all strive to live.

Dear Raisner Family: I met Adam during his internship at Newton-Wellesley and his zest for life and his family was always a joy for me to behold. My favorite memories of him include seeing him arrive each morning on his bike with his backpack on his back. I was proud to know Adam. His respect and honor for human life and his sincerity and honesty have always shone. I am so sorry for your loss. He will be deeply missed by many. My deepest sympathy to all whose lives he touched.

Dearest Harvey, Elaine, Bruce, Beth, Lisa and family,
I am so truly heartbroken at your your tragic loss. I am still reeling from my darling Heather's passing so I understand what you are going through now and what is yet to come .
The Good die young and the rest of us left to grieve their passing. Our children were so close growing up together in those Halcyon Days and now two of them are gone from us forever. Adam is with Heather now exchanging happy memories of growing up.
On reading the other entries I can see that he was greatly loved and made a big impact on others and that will be a great consolation to you.
It's a cruel and unpredictable world and hard to make any sense of it at times but we must try because that is what they would want and expect us to do. There are no words to explain such chaos.

What a loss to the world. My heart goes out to all that were lucky enough to have been a part of Adam's too short life. He was our doctor since we moved to the area but he was so much more than that.

I was a patient of Dr. Raisner's for the past several years and he was, by far, the best doctor I ever had. He was always very friendly and always took the time you needed rather than rushing you through like a number...a rarity in today's medical landscape. I am saddened to learn of his passing and my condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

I first came To know Dr. Adam Raisner when he started his practice with Dr. Mark Abensohn in 1999. I was going through a particularly difficult time in my medical life and he was always there for me and my issues. More so, than the many specialists that I needed to see at the time.
Throughout the years, he treated my more minor illnesses with a great deal of concern and caring. That is how I would define this wonderful Doctor. He was a very caring individual.
I was in to see him just weeks ago and now he is gone. I would like to join the many people and patients here and say that life will not be the same without this wonderful doctor.
My sympathies and thanks go out to his many family members. He will always be in my memories.

I was at today's celebration of his life and I wish I/we had known him better. My deepest condolences to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

So much so, that when I moved from MA to FL, I wanted to take him with me (I asked him too! He politely declined)... So very sad, However I pray that the Lord grants peace to his family and that we will all be reunited in paradise. God Bless you.

As our doctor, he always greeted us with a cheerful smile, and always helped us through any medical needs. My heart goes out to the girls in the office - I know they admired him so much.

I knew Adam from 1st grade through high school, and was just thinking of him the last few weeks in considering going to the 25th reunion as one of the people I'd really like to see again. He was always a terrific athlete from an early age but an even nicer guy, friendly and never harsh (even his jokes or wisecracks) with always a smile or laugh. I last saw him in 1994 ten years after school, and he hadn't changed at all, just super nice. He was a great listener, so it doesn't surprise me to hear how beloved and caring a doctor he became, it fits him perfectly. I can only imagine the pain you all feel at losing him -- I hope the many great memories you have will comfort you now and in the days to come. May his memory be a blessing always.

Dear Anne and all of Adam's family:
Our hearts are broken. We can't believe the tragic events of the past week. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you constantly, as well as our tears. Adam was the best friend our son (Adam Pearl) ever had. They shared so many special times together beginning with Med school at Sachler in Tel Aviv. Like brothers, their relationship grew and encompassed their careers, their wives and children! we constantly heard of the adventures of the two Adams, Anne, Denise and all of the boys, Nate & Jonah, Ben & Justin. Through our tears, we are remembering the wonderful times the Pearls and the Raisners have shared. Adam will be missed so much by so many! We do know that Adam & Denise will be there for all of you always! For sure, Ben & Justin will remain best friends with Nate & Jonah! Our lives are all the better for having known Adam. Our love and prayers to all of you.

We were devastated when we heard of Adam's passing. He was the first person we met when we moved into the neighborhood and his warm greeting gave us comfort that we would love our new home. He was such a positive presence in the neighborhood; always smiling and offering a very animated and cheery hello. He really touched our hearts.

I was shocked and greatly saddened upon learning of Dr. Raisner's untimely death. He has been my doctor for the past 5 years, and I always enjoyed his easy going manner. We shared a few things in common (athletics and being the father of twin boys), and always shared a few brief stories with one another during my appointments. Adam will be greatly missed.

Dear Elaine and Harvey,
We read the shocking news of Adam's death with incredulity.
That wonderful little boy had grown up to be an well loved doctor, father, husband. Since our boys were friends through childhood, as parents we empathize with your intense pain at his loss.
We wish you all strength and courage in the months ahead as the reality of this engulfs your family.
With our love

My deepest sympathies to the Raisner family, his friends and co-workers. Dr. Raisner was my physician for several years now. I felt confident that Dr. Raisner was the best there was and I drove close to an hour to see him. He was an incredible physician with a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss him terribly.

I've had the pleasure of working with Dr. Raisner for the past two years. He was a very kind man and concerned doctor. Every morning, I still miss seeing him come in wearing his shorts and sneakers, running into his office where he would leave several articles of clothing, then coming out all changed and ready to go. My thoughts are with Anne and the boys.

Anne,
We are just so sad for you and the boys. Hanlon would love to have Jonah and Nate over ANY time. When we told him what happened, he first wanted to be sure the boys still had their mother. We reassured him you would keep taking good care of them. Then he said, "You mean doctors can DIE? Don't they have to take care of people?" Adam was gifted at doing just that, and it is a terrible loss.
You're in our thoughts. We are here for you.

I went to the doctor's office one day and my regular doctor was off, so I saw the "new" guy. It was as if I found a new friend. He was a wonderful man, a compassionate listener and encouraging friend. I'll never forget that perpetual grin on his face. I count myself lucky to have known him.

Dear Raisner Family,
Most of my memories of Adam are from when he was younger and a good friend of my brother Brad. He was always a joy to be around and it does not surprise me that his too-short life made such difference to so many. My thoughts and condolences are with you in this most difficult of times.

Dr. Raisner was my doctor for several years, and the best doctor that I have ever had. He listened, he spent time, and he gave care and advice in such a friendly, sympathetic way. A great sense of humor, too -- I truly enjoyed our visits. I am so sorry that he is gone.
He must have been a wonderful husband and father. My sincerest condolences go out to his wife, sons, and family. You are all in my prayers.

He always let me take as much time as I needed during my visits with him and really listened to what I had to say. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

My deepest sympathies to the Raisner family and his dear friends and co-workers. I moved from Medfield over 6 years ago and drove close to an hour to continue to see Dr. Raisner after the move. For me there was no other doctor who I would feel as comfortable and secure with. I will miss him terribly. He will never be forgotten.
