I hope it is not late to send my tears to all of his many worldwide friends and especially to his surviving family., He now rests at King David with my sister and loads of family no consolation but at least he is close to home to be visited.

Dr. Pelmutter was more than a Dr. to me and the staff I worked with -- he was like a brother to us. We loved working with him, and we knew he loved working with us.
He was a kid at heart and loved to go to Disney World with Lori and the kids Grant and Max any chance he got. To say he loved Lori and his boys would be an understatement. He adored his family, and it showed. He showed us amazing better than professional pictures of all his adventures with his family. We saw and knew every new developmental stage his children were going through and we loved it.
We knew that David's family was everything to him and it showed in everything he did.
Even when we worked long hours and was tired that tiredness was lifted when he knew he was heading home to his wife and children.
David had a smile that was contagious. Even in the longest and hardest days of work that smile never faded. You just knew that he loved what he was doing and cared about the people he was with.
This showed because he was always 100% engaged in conversation when you talked to him. He never judged what you said or felt. He always saw the positive in a person and life.
He had such a gentle soul, there was an aura about him that just radiated kindness and warmth. It was not in his nature to be confrontational. He truly wanted to know how you felt.
David had a wisdom about him that was beyond his years or age. In any clinical situation, David made it look effortless. He made everything look easy to do.
He was a soft spoken man and this just drew people closer to him.
The staff and patients felt a sense of security with David. He was calm, confident and had a wealth of knowledge.
You could tell that he enjoyed making people's lives better. David made a connection with every patient he cared for. He would take the time no matter what was going on to speak to his patients and let them know he was there for them. It was as if every patient was his family member.
When you showed David something new he would love it and it reflected in the way he talked to you. His eyes got wide with excitement.
David was a multi-faceted genius who gave 110% to everything he did, whether it be his family, friends, career, or entertaining.
He was a true magician with the computer and was always teaching and sharing his knowledge with us. David just got a kick out of technology.
Anything new David undertook he would give it everything he could, let it be a friend, or co-worker, or patient.
David was a well-respected man because of the respect he gave to others. His dedication to medicine and the people around him made such a positive impact on all our lives.
I am very proud and honored to have been his friend and co-worker. I will miss him every day. There will be no other like you Dr. David Perlmutter, my brother.
With Love,
Demetri Bellas

I always enjoyed working with Dr. Perlmutter in the hospital. He was always very professional and extremely competent, yet always made his patients feel at ease. He will be missed.

David was a treasured colleague at the two hospitals where we practiced together, and his presence there will be profoundly missed by me, his partners, other colleagues, patients and staff members with whom he worked. I will miss his judgement, sage advice and technical skills, but much more so his friendship, easy-going manner and sense of humor.
I pray that faith will help his family and close friends to weather the trying times brought on by his sudden and untimely passing.

Dr. Perlmutter, although gone, will continue to participate in every act, thought and decision. He leaves behind an indelible imprint in our memories. Our lives have been enriched by his presence here at Prince William Hospital. He will truly be missed!

Dear Lori,
It is with deep sadness and heavy heart that I have to extend my deepest sympathy to you, and your children. Your husband was a fabulous physician. He was always so composed even in times of stress. He was fantastic with the staff, he would always listen and offer advice. With patients he had this way about him that would truly soothe them. He just had this calming demeanor.
Any time we would ask about the boys he would say wait , hold on let me show you some pictures. He was so very proud of you and them.
As Dr. Zazzarro mentioned I am better for knowing him, and with this loss we have lost a part of the Prince William family. If you ever are in need of anything please do not hesitate to ask.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Lori,
Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of David. it has been a privilege and pleasure to have had him as a colleague at VRA, and to have served him as President for the past 6 years. I did not need to read his CV or speak with his colleagues at UM to know "he got game" as an IR, but merely to watch him do a few cases. He was a brilliant man who had both technical gifts and people skills. His rapport with patients, other members of our medical staffs and administrations was outstanding. He was never a "yes man" when it came to practice related challenges and difficult decisions, but would always ask poignant questions and provide me with helpful insight. He was instrumental in the design and maintenance of the VRA website, and was visionary in bringing new ideas and methods to our interventional practice.
On a personal note, he was wonderful and supportive in helping me through my own crisis with my wife Pam, and my cousin Lisa for whom he would always make himself available day or night to attend.
David was an invaluable member of the VRA family, and that family will always be there for you and the boys. our hearts are heavy with sorrow at his loss. While it is clear that we are all lessened and emptier without him, I'd like to think we will be stronger and better because of him.

May the love of family and friends cradle you and the boys through this sorrowful time. And, may the loving memory of your husband, your best friend lend you some comfort while you grieve his absence. I have no words to comfort you right now, but I am praying for you, and the boys, and so is Brian. We are here for you, for anything you need.

Nothing I could write here could lessen the pain of this huge loss. David was an amazing man. When he looked at you Lori the world stopped! He found true love! And you were able to give him the biggest gift that he had ever hoped for- 2 beautiful healthy children! David will live on in all of our hearts and souls!

Dear Lori, Pinky & Paul -
It was much too soon. The only consolation is that although David will not be here for the good things, he will be spared the tragedy that life sometimes pours on us.
