Amitabh RAM Obituary

RAM, Dr. Amitabh R. Amitabh R. Ram, MD, 51, of Glastonbury, CT attained eternal rest and peace on Thursday (July 15, 2010) surrounded by his friends and family. He is survived by his mother, wife, daughter and younger brother. A Pediatrician by profession, he ran two successful pediatric practices in Hebron and Hartford. He will be remembered by his staff, patients and community for his quality of care, service, compassion and competence. He built his practices with dedication rarely found, and they will continue to serve the community, led by his able health-care associates. Dr. Ram was an Assistant Professor at UCONN Medical School with a life-long passion in teaching and research in medicine. As a pediatrician, Dr. Ram cared deeply about children and he had started a U.S. non-profit organization called MSIHA (Magis Slyvestris International Health Agency) with the mission of serving under-privileged children in India. Currently MSIHA runs two thriving educational centers in Kolkata and Varanasi providing computer literacy and spoken English classes to children from lower socio-economic backgrounds and physically challenged children. His vision, contribution, sacrifice and humanitarian work in this regard are inspirational. His friends and family hope to carry forward his work with support from those who care to lend a helping hand. In lieu of flowers, his family requests a voluntary charitable donation to MSIHA at PO Box 359, Hebron CT 06248. Dr. Ram received his medical degree from National Medical College, Kolkata, India. He practiced and served in many countries including India, Israel, UK and USA. Dr. Ram was indeed an exceptional individual, true to his medical profession, compassionate towards the community and a pillar of strength to his family and friends. Those who came in contact with him will always remember his inspiring sense of solidarity, his deep knowledge in diverse fields, his fighting spirit against all odds, his lively humor and above all, a wonderful human being with a pure heart. A memorial service is organized in his memory at Riverfront Community Center, 300 Welles Street, Glastonbury, CT on July 31, 2010 from 3-6 p.m. All friends, patients and family are welcome to attend.

Found Doctor's Teddy Bear business card and was very saddened when searching the net to find Dr Ram had passed on. Best doctor my family has ever had. We moved into Hebron in the same year and I became very close to Dr Ram as he became not only my kids but my personal physician. May god bless his family and his soul!

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don't worry about falls
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we're together again.


I will never forget his great stories and advice. He had so much wisdom and strength. I will never be able to explain how much I cherish his empathy. Thank you for teaching me not only how to be a good person..also how to make the best of things, and so many more lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. You were like a father figure, a friend and my role model. I would not be the person I am today without the example you have given me, without the influence that you had in everything you said and did. I wish you were here to see my wedding but I know you will be watching us from haven :)

Thank you will never be enough to express my gratitude for the role that you have played in my life, and what you have done. We miss and love you Dr.Ram.

Ram: Don't know if you still remember me. We were cassmates in the Presidency more than thirty years ago. Yes, It is a long time -- even though feels like yesterday. I really regret not being able to shake your hand or say hello while you were there suffering. It is too late now ... And what shall I tell Piyali? Can words wipe off her pain? I feel so lost, so little ... so incompetent. I hope you can give her strength to become strong and face her life as it comes.
You take good care ... Peace and Joy,

I can't believe he's gone . My son daniel was one of his first patients. I remember when he even saw us on a Sunday because my son was very sick. He was a very caring compassionate and loving doctor. He truly cared about his patients. I still can't believe his gone. Gone but never forgotten.

To the family and staff of Dr. Ram, we are so very sorry for your loss, I was overwhelmed to learn this past week that Dr. Ram had passed. What a terrible loss for all who knew him. Our family loved him upon meeting him for the first time, ten or so years ago. We count ourselves blessed to of had him in our life. I will always remember the soothing way he would say "don't worry, don't worry...it will be alright" when treating our children.

Dr. Ram was an amazing pediatrician. He was wonderful with kids and parents. And he was a great teacher to the medical students; he was a great pediatrician to learn from. He will definitely be missed.

Carrie Bowles

August 1, 2010

Dr. Ram will be deeply missed by our family. As first time parents, my husband and I relied on him to get us through the first 6 months of our son Owen's life. Owen had GERD and it seemed as though we were at his office 3-4 times a week. He treated us like we were his only patient and always took our call and appointment. Both of our children had chronic ear infections and RSV and we continued to "camp out" at his office for the next 4 years. I was always nervous about their breathing issues and the medication they had to take. Just before he passed he looked me in the eye and said, "Your children will always have breathing issues - it will not go away. You need to deal with this."

He was one of the few individuals that could talk me "off the ledge" when I thought I was the "medical expert" after doing research on the internet. He would always say to me, "Why do you do that?" and "Don't believe what you read there." I even asked him once if I should quit my job to stay home with my son because he was sick so much and he laughed at me! Again, always bringing me back to reality.

Our funniest memory of him was the first time he tested Owen for strep - he was not even 1. Dr. Ram was convinced that he did not have strep and did the test just to passify me..sure enough, positive. Dr. Ram was shocked, "You've got to be kidding me? It is positive." From that point forward, he would always do the test and instructed the interns to do the same.

He has taught us so much that we will carry with us forever...how to live life like a self-less individual; always trust your motherly instincts; never mind what the books say, do what is best for your family.

He was a rare individual that was dedicated to giving to all..he was so proud of his charity and would share videos with us and tell us about his trips to India and his experiences with the gangs. Always a brave soul doing God's work.

We attended the beautiful memorial service and Mrs. Ram and her daughter continued to take care of everyone while they were hurting so much inside. They are very brave and compassionate women and Dr. Ram would be so proud of their courageousness and nurturing way. Our prayers are with them, their family, friends, staff and patients.

Our sincere love and prayers,
The Bowles Family

Dr. Ram was one of a kind and loved very much by my entire family. My children, Zachary and Jasmine, adored him and are saddened by this tragic news. If not for him, both of my children would have died. I can not express my sincere gratitude enough for what he did for me and my family, and everyone's lives that he touched. He was very special. It was so obvious that he truly cared about his patients and knew what he was doing as a doctor. He was very intelligent and I knew that my children were in capable hands. To be quite honest, I am terrified that I will not be able to find a doctor for my children that will measure up to Dr. Ram, because ones like him are few and far between. He will be greatly missed. He was truly a wonderful man. God bless the Ram family, especially Mrs. Ram and their little girl. We all love you and share in your pain.

Dr. Amitabh Ram was one of those rare individuals who cared deeply for others and put that feeling into action through his wonderful organization Msiha. I've had the privilege to work with Dr. Ram in Kolkata - he was a thoughtful man with a great sense of humor. He will be missed by everyone involved in Msiha, especially his two computer teachers Sarwesh and Samir.

Mrs. Ram and Staff; Dr Ram was an amazing and special doctor. There will never be another Dr. Ram. Dr. Ram meet my husband and myself prior to us adoption our daughter from China. When other doctors wouldn't take the time to talk with us Dr. Ram meet with us and spent an hour after hours talking with us about our concerns. When we left for our trip half way around the world he gave us his cell number and assured us we could call him anytime day or night. He helped us so many times after hours and assured us through all the initial medicial problems. His office will have big shoes to fill because he was a very special man. We are saddened today to have heard we have lost such a wonderful doctor and an incredible man.
Our deepest Sympathies, John, Caroline and Hannah Grace Gialluca

His extreme compassion to all has touched every person he has ever encountered and made each one of them a better person.I'm sure everyone that knew Dr. Ram will continue to pass on his caring ways to the next person they'll meet. His soul will continue with all lives he's ever touched. Sadly missed and loved by our family. His light will continue to shine.The Lane's

Nolan, Christopher, Ann and Andy Rogers

July 29, 2010

To the Ram family and office team: You all know us in Hebron from our frequent visits, and we share your loss. Dr. Ram was a fine example of kindness and intelligence. We consider Dr. Ram to have saved our older son's life on several occassions, from guiding us through initial failure to thrive at 1 month, to diagnosing a spot on his lung, brought on by results of ragweed allergy activity at 2yr., to numerous other instances. Dr. Ram always had a sparkle in his eye when seeing our two boys, even this past June at their last physical with him. Our older son had a sense of foreboding at that time, but nothing can prepare us for when this time comes. We never needed to visit as frequently with our younger son, by Dr. Ram always appeared to be quite entertained by him. Without a family support system with us here, it was a great comfort to know that Dr. Ram and all of you were always there for us. We had our first baseball break through a glass window at home last night, and Nolan wondered what Dr. Ram would have said. We imagined he would have laughed and said "...Good for you, Nolan, you're being a boy, and you're good at it!" (At the same time, he probably would have suggested that the ball be pitched from a different direction!) As parents, we will miss his kindness and patience forever, although we suspect we kept him amused with our questions. May Peace be with him, and with you, as you continue on with his journey.

He was a wonderful pediatrician that I felt blessed and grateful to have finally found! He has made such a substantial impact on our lives even in the short time we were blessed to know him. It was our honor to know such a wonderful pediatrician and human being. Rest in peace, Dr. Ram.

To Dr. Ram's family,

Dr. Ram was the best.I was one of his teenage patients. He never made me feel weird for still coming to him and sitting on his little fire truck examining table. The last time I saw him he looked older and tired but he still had that smile I was used to seeing. I was worried about him but somehow just figured he would be ok. That's because he still had his same nice spirit about him. He's gone now and I will miss him very much. I want his family to know that we loved him too.

July 23, 2010

To the Ram family,

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Dr. Ram was such a wonderful pediatrician. I still remember how much time he spent with us before the birth of our first child. He sat with us and explained everything we should expect. We loved him the moment we met him.

We will miss him so very much.

Our hearts are so sad today with the news of Dr. Ram passing. Not only was he a kind soul, he gave my children (as well as countless others) unlimited time and attention. I can still hear him reassuring me with his words of, "Don't worry, she'll be fine...don't worry." My children were fortunate to be in his safe, caring hands. We will miss him dearly.

July 23, 2010

Dear Dr. Ram's family.
i am so sorry to hear about this. Dr. Ram was an amazing person. He was always so sweet and caring. Even when times got hard, you would never see him without a smile. He sincerely cared for all of his patients. I've been one since i can rememeber. Never been anywhere else. You're in my prayers. Rest In Peace

July 22, 2010

Dear Mrs. Ram, Family and office staff,
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Ram. We were fortunate to have had Dr. Ram as our children's pediatrician 13 years ago when we lived in Hebron. He was incredibly patient with our son Connor, who was later diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and our daughters, Arden and Claire. I can still remember him smiling and telling me it's ok for Connor to run around the office and try out the medical equipment! I did not have anyone to turn to during those early years and so, Dr. Ram became my therapist in a way! He was easy to talk to and always had a witty and wise response! Dr. Ram thought Connor was adorable and accepted him for the child he was. He was the kindest, most intelligent person I have ever met! I can remember him coming to the Hospital to meet each of my children and upon leaving, I would think what a great dressed doctor I had! We moved to New Jersey 8 years ago, yet I still thought of Dr. Ram. Every pediatrician I would meet, I would compare them to him. No one has lived up to Dr. Ram! He would call me on occasion to check on me and the children! He would give us samples to save us money. He would go to his medical books and copy information for me to help me to better understand a medical condition my child was suffering from. There certainly will never be another Dr. Ram. Very few people touch so many. He had a gift to do just that. I will tell my children to say a prayer for him tonight. He will be missed by many. God Bless.

Dr Ram was an amazing person as well as a wonderful caring doctor. We first brought our older son Jason to him when Jason was just a few months old. We had been going to another clinic that was not addressing his medical needs. Within the first few minutes of the exam, Dr Ram addressed the issue that concerned us and immediatly made arrangements for tests and care. As new parents, he continually set our minds at ease reminding us that "do what works for your family". We enjoyed having his students exam our children under his careful watchful eye. His approach with his students was as gentle as it was with the kids he was treating. To our younger son Michael, Dr Ram has been his only doctor. He will be sorely missed and our hearts go out to his entire family

To Mrs. Ram and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Ram's passing. He was an exceptional, dedicated physician and a wonderful mentor and human being. He was very patient with me when he first took me under his wing right after I had finished my pediatric residency. Night or day, even when he was on vacation in India, it didn't matter. He was always available for me to ask questions, to seek his valuable advice. He shaped and molded my critical thinking and approach to pediatrics in an office setting, for which I will always be grateful. I will never forget all that he has done for me. He will truly be missed.

To Mrs Ram, Dr. Ram's family and his wonderful staff:
As I sit here and try to put into words the deep and profound loss that this community is feeling, there are no words! His family, this community and our world has lost an exceptional human being. I will always remember with such fondness his years of wosdom, his dedication that is unheard of and his love for our children. We are honored to have had such a wonderful doctor taking care of our children.
He will be so missed and will always be remembered in our hearts!

Dear Mrs. Ram, Family & Staff:
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Ram. My son has been a patient of his for 10 years (since birth) in fact he was the 1st and last doctor I interviewed when I was pregnant. He had a great understanding of a new mother and was patient and kind with every concern I had. Five years ago we moved an hour away and I wouldn't even look for another doctor for my son - we still drove to Hebron or Hartford. After having Dr. Ram for a pediatrician I can't imagine any one better! Please accept our deepest condolences. Thank you Dr. Ram for all you have done.

Dear family of Dr. Ram,

Words cannot begin to express how sad I was to hear about Dr. Ram's passing. It still brings tears into my eyes. I will dearly miss him and his loving care for our son Miles.

You are in our thoughts in this very sad time. May Dr. Ram's spirit be watching over us forever.

Please accept our deepest sympathy. Dr. Ram was my children's pediatrician for many years. If he did not stop attending to them at a certain age my sons would still be there. This is just how much we loved Dr. Ram and did not want to leave his care. He was a wonderful person who cared for everyone in a special way. I know you all are proud of him and although he will be missed, he will forever live on in our hearts.

Our deepest sympathy to the Ram Family and Staff. It is rare to find a doctor who was so compassionate, caring and a true credit to his craft. He always had our son's care at heart--you always knew that he deeply cared about each one of the families that he served.

When our son was one, he went to the Children's Hospital in Hartford. They weren't able to diagnose his illness and suggested we see Dr. Ram the next day. When I brought him in to Dr. Ram, he told me to NEVER leave the hospital without an explanation and if I couldn't get one to have him page him (even if it was his day off) and he would come to the hospital and make sure I had an answer. I never worried again about my son's health care after that!

We wish you and your family all the love and support during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to your family. Dr Ram was such a kind soul. He was a so present in the care he gave to our children, he inspired confidence and peace in troubling times. We'll miss his kind heart.

Our thoughts an prayers are with the Ram family during this difficult time. There really are no words to express what a great loss this is not only to the family, but to all the families Dr Ram came into contact with. We often said how we wished he was a family doctor rather than a pediatrician. He was an exceptional doctor and no one can replace him! We will all always remember him with fond thoughts. May he rest in peace, Karl, Francine, Emily, and Maurice Lizotte

There are truly no words to express for the loss of a wonderful, kind, caring, beautiful man. Thank you for giving my children the short time they had with him. Me and my husband will have a hard time trying to replace this special soul. With deepest sympathy, Wayne, Wanda, Joseph and Joshua Lanham

I was busy organising Konkona sen program about 2 months back when Soumitra Da was on cell and told me - "Amitabh cannot come because he is not feeling well" it just stuck me at that very moment and today is the day. It is a very sad moment and I don't have enough words to describe. May his soul rest in peace.

To the Ram family,
We are so sorry for your loss. You must be so proud of such a couragous and intelligent man. Words cannot describe how much he has meant to our family. He has helped us so much with our children and especially Olivia. He was our angel and helped us understand her and her needs. I have felt blessed to have him in our lives for the last 10 years and it will never be the same without him. What a wonderful man.

We are truly sorry to hear of Dr. Ram's passing. He was a kind and gentle soul. When my oldest son was in kindergarten he had a class assignment "Who is Your Hero". He came home with a badge which indicated "Dr. Ram, because he helps me feel better". Our whole family viewed Dr. Ram as a hero. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Mrs. Ram, family and staff,
We are truly saddened to hear about Dr. Ram's passing. Our children began seeing Dr. Ram four years ago when we moved here and have considered ourselves so fortunate to have found such a wonderful, patient, caring doctor and staff. Dr. Ram always put our minds at ease and was instrumental in diagnosing our son with Type I Diabetes last year. We have lost an extremely generous advocate for our children and wish his family the best.
