Joseph L. Darr M.D.

I was a good friend of Joe's when I worked at JFK Memorial many years ago. I recently had a retinal detachment and now have a cataract and I thought I should contact the best eye doctor I knew and tonight I googled his name and nearly fell out of my chair when the first google article was re Joe's death. Talk about being a day late and a dollar short. I never knew much about his most interesting background, namely his military record as I too have experienced some of the same things Joe did. Somehow that never came up in any of the many conversations I had with him. Too you, Lois, Joe was a superb all around human being. He was one of a kind and will be missed.

My condolences to the Darr family on the passing of Dr. Darr. God bless.

I was so sorry to hear of Dr.Darr's recent passing. I worked with Dr. Darr for many years at JFK hospital. He was always such a kind and caring physician, a true gentleman in every sense of the word. My sympathy to his family.

Dear Jay and Darr family, I am sorry to hear about your dad's passing. May memories of happy times bring you comfort. Blessings to you and your family.

I was deeply saddened to read of Dr. Darr's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lois, Jay, Debbie and Lisa. He was a dear friend to my own father and memories of the great times that were had socially with the Darr's are as vibrant and clear as if they just occurred. Brilliant, intense and with a magnificent sense of humor; he was commanding presence. God bless you Joe.

Dr. Darr taught me life lessons that my father couldn't. Truly a great man.

A Great Friend for many years. His passing leaves a void in life.

I knew of Dr. Darr but did not know him. I was so blessed to read this amazing missive and be reminded of what a "great life" truly is. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and patients. I imagine he is belting out a good old Irish tune, directly to you. With baritone gusto, of course...! May God richly bless him, as he blessed those on earth.

Words cannot express how much I love and miss you Grandpa. I am so blessed to have had such a talented, smart, enterprising, passionate, witty, clever, and loving person as my grandfather. You have always been my role model -- I hope that I can make you as proud of me as I am of you.
