ALEXANDER PERICLES STAVRIDES M.D.

I enjoyed working with Dr. Stavrides or 14 years. He was a great teacher and was always inspiring us to move forward and update procedures. I can picture him walking the hall towards the Immunology Lab with his arms folded behind his back!!
Once we were suddenly short on personnel and I was beginning to get stressed. He made the decision to postpone our inoculating the fertilized eggs to test for influenza. The eggs sat in the incubator for a few days. One morning I walked into the lab and was greeted with "cheep, cheep" sounds. Yes, we had a small flock of chicks! We had a good laugh and then had to scramble to find food and then someone to take them in the dead of winter!!
I have great memories of your dad!! I am sorry I missed the funeral. I was visiting my daughter in Seattle.
My condolences.

My heartfelt condolences to the Stavrides family. Dr. Alexander Stavrides was a kind intellectual who shared his Microbiology expertise with me. Although this message is late because I was not in Pittsburgh, I would be remiss not to mention his outstanding leadership during my career at West Penn Hospital. His quest for knowledge inspired me.

We will miss a teacher, colleague and a dear friend.
May he rest in peace!

On behalf of the department of Pathology of the University of Pittsburgh I am sending this message to express our sincere condolences for the loss of a wonderful colleague, friend and (for me) a compatriot. I will never forget his sound advice and his kind smile when I first moved to Pittsburgh. May his memory be eternal.
