Max PALAYEW

I learned about Max's passing when I was reading this morning the book about the JGH by Dr. Frank Guttman. The news was a shock and a profound sadness for me. Max was sweet, gentle, sensitive and a true and real mensch. There are simply not enough of his kind of person on this planet. One of the best people I've met in my lifetime. Sharing the sadness of the loss with all who loved him.

Dear Mark and family. I just learned of Dr.Palayew passing when I popped into radiology today. I worked with him for the past 25 years.When he retired and took his amazing trip he came to see me not long after and regaled me with amazing storys. He was so wonderful to me. I was his techie in the hospital library. He was kind respectful and showed me respect. He would just call me to chat sometimes. I could hear his smile in his voice. I will miss him forever

I have fond memories working with Dr. Palayew. He always took the time to check in and see how we were doing. He will be missed.

My condolences to his family and friends

I will miss his energetic stride walking through the Jewish General with a smile to acknowledge mine. He was my dad's customer for many years and later his empathy shown to him was most comforting to him and us. He leaves a legacy of excellence in his abilities and as a humane doctor that his family should always be so proud of. May these qualities offer your family solace.

Dear Eunice: My deepest condolences to you and your family. He was a wonderful radiologist and physician, and a wonderfully kind and compassionate person. It is a sad loss.

1978......"Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind."
I love you, Uncle Max

From an old, old friend. Max and I were neighbours and friends. We went through Peretz Shule together, as well as through Baron Byng and McGill. Though we pursued separate careers, we greeted each other extremely warmly, on the rare times we met. How could it be otherwise?
My wife Eleanor and I would like to express our sincerest and heartfelt sympathies to the Palayew Family. My memories of Max will never be forgotten.

My deepest condolences to your family on the loss of such a wonderful man! Whenever I would see him at the Jgh he would always stop, ask how I was and smile!! He truly had the kindest soul! He will be deeply missed.

Dr Palayew was a real gentleman ,always positive, and truly loved his work. I was saddened to hear the news and I will miss him as will so many.

Dear Mrs. Palayew and family: Condolences - I have wonderful memories of working with Dr. Palayew many moons ago...he was the best radiologist, concerned with his patients, and a great teacher to the residents and staff...always cheeful.

He was indeed a kind and lovely man, when I worked at the JGH I was introduced to him at a hospital event, he never stopped going out of his way to say hello to me afterwards in the hallway or introduce me to other employees at the hospital. A great man and I am truly sorry and saddened to hear he is no longer with us.

Dear Eunice and family,
We are shocked and so sad. Max was a wonderful neighbour and friend, so kind. We are in Vancouver, and can't come on Friday, but will be thinking of you all with love, Katie and Paul
