LUCIEN COTE Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 29, 2022.

COTE--Lucien, MD. We mourn the death of our esteemed colleague Lucien Cote, MD, Professor Emeritus of Neurology at Columbia University, and a leading expert in Parkinson's disease on December 21, 2022, at the age of 94. Dr. Cote was an extraordinary clinician-scientist and an invaluable member of the Department of Neurology and The Parkinson Research Center at Columbia Uni- versity Medical Center. He received countless honors including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. He was a wonderful human being full of compassion and wisdom who knew how to listen to patients, and was always present to mentor, teach and advise our trainees entering the field of Neur- ology. His commitment to patient care and research for more than 50 years is unsurpassed. Richard Mayeux, MD; Karen S Marder, MD; Serge Przedborski, MD, PhD

Dr. Cote treated my uncle -- actor, artist, and playwright Morton Lichter, who suffered from Parkinsons Disease. The compassion and personal interest he showed my uncle was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I am so grateful for his brilliance and kindness.

Dr. Cote was a wonderful teacher, when I was a resident at the Neurological Institute. I remember him saying once on rounds, "Anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex will have a psychogenic overlay to his or her neurological problem." I still teach that.

Dr. Cote was one of the first neurologists I worked with when launching the World Parkinson Congresses in 2006. He was instrumental in my learning about PD, and was one of the kindest people I had the pleasure of working with. I heard many of his patients describe him as an 'angel', he was very loved, and he clearly loved what he did. He will be missed.
