Dear Sara, Robbie & Catherine:



As the month has gone by there is not a day that goes past that I do not stop & say "Hello" to your dad & ask him to watch over me from heaven....I know evry day he is with us.

I just wanted to let you know that at UPMC in Oakland, Pittsburgh Pa, My room was known for the "MUNCHIES" & Every time your dad would walk in to see how I was doing he would "ALWAYS L 0 0 K" for the "Sour Cream & Onion Pringles" & When I would come for a visit I would ALWAYS try to bring him something to munch on as his day went on



I just wanted to share this little verse that I came across.........



In Loving Memory Of Dr. Robert J. Corry 2-11-01



"THOSE WHO GAVE OUR LIVES BEAUTY LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS"



Some people are such a BLESSING to know, they'll always be remembered with Gentle Smiles and Good Stories and Happy Feelings in the HEARTS of all who LOVED Him.



May God Bless All Of YOU & Keep You In His Tender LOVING CARE

Bill and I were shocked and saddened to learn of the untimely death of Dr. Corry. I worked for Robb for 6-1/2 years at the University of Iowa, and have a great many fond memories of him.



I remember him telling me once that after taking an aptitude test in high school, he was told he should become either a politician or a doctor –- so many people have benefitted from his choice to become a physician!



As an expert in his field, he got an occasional taste of politics as well while serving as President of both the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons. He helped to set policy for transplantation and donor organ allocation with efforts that ranged from testimony before Congress to lobbying to take pancreatic transplantation from being considered an experimental therapy to its status today as a widely accepted treatment.



I truly enjoyed working with Robb, because there was always something interesting or exciting going on. His expertise in pancreatic transplantation drew physicians from around the world to visit the Iowa program to learn, and he visited many nations to teach or present papers at transplant meetings. These trips always yielded some insight into the country he visited, and he always came back with great photographs!



He expected a great deal from his staff, but always expected more of himself – the mark of a great leader. He gave many of us a chance to learn, and to grow, and he always encouraged us to use our full potential to excel. I believe he had a gift for bringing out the best in those who worked with and for him.



Although he was one of the world’s very best in the field of transplantation surgery, he did have other interests. We had many lively discussions about politics; he loved sports and was an encyclopedia of pro football trivia (it was from him that I learned the origin of the team name of the Cleveland Browns); and he enjoyed a good spy yarn, whether it was a novel or a movie.



I was privileged to be a guest in the Corry home many times, for both departmental parties and for dinner with the family, and found that Robb was always the consummate host. He was always so very proud of his children – Robbie, Sara, and Catherine – and their accomplishments. I am certain that his grandson had him “wrapped around his tiny finger,” and am sorry that his grandfather will not be around when little Hayden Jeffrey is an older child or young adult. The last time I spoke with Robb, shortly after September 11th, we talked about his children and their success, which I believe is due in no small measure to lessons they learned from their father.



These are some of the things I remember best about working with Robb. In sum, the field of medicine has lost one of its most brilliant and innovative, but many, many more of us have lost a great teacher, trusted advisor, and good friend. I shall remember him always.



His light burned oh so brightly, and was extinguished far too soon.

As he picked up a french fry off of my meal tray and placed it into his mouth he said "The food here really isn't bad", I knew THIS doctor was like no one else. Dr. Corry's sense of humor helped ease the rough spots after my successful

pancres/kidney/bone marrow transplant. I never felt like a number when I talked with him and he would remember little bits of my life that made me feel he really cared. Robert, Sara and Catherine, I was glad that I had an opportunity to meet you. I'm sure you all wish you would have had more time with your dad, especially growing up. His dedication, caring and faith brought him to my rescue on Easter Sunday 1996. I've always felt somewhat guilty about that, thinking he should have been with loved ones. But I also feel God had a reason for him, as well as the other staff, to be at work that day and I will be forever grateful. I hope you, your mom and Dr. Corry's brother will have lots of good memories to share and take some comfort in knowing what great joy he has given to others. I know my husband, two children other family members and friends say "thank you" also.

Dear Sara, Robbie Jr. & Catherine:

In May of 1994 I was called to see if I would be interested in receiving a Kidney, Whole Pancreas Transplant at the time I said "YES" "Just tell me what I had to do" On May 22, 1994 I went to have the testing done. I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Mark Jordan (who I thought was "Dr. Corry"....Boy Did I feel embarrassed). They took me into another room & I met the "REAL DR. CORRY" along with Dr. Franchesca Egidi..I do have to say "THEY MADE A FINE DOCTOR TEAM" Afterwards talking to them I just left it in God's Hand's.

Month's had gone by still on dialysis & it was on "July 3, 1994 about 1:45 PM I had received a phone call from the transplant coordinator that they may/might have the Kidney & Pancreas for me. I got my things together and headed to UPMC.

The night had gone slow.. On "JULY 4th, 1994 @ 10:30AM" I was getttting on to the stretcher not knowing what & how MY LIFE was going to be. Well, 16 hours later I found out that I was the first patient to have been blessed to have received a Kidney, Whole Pancreas & Bone Marrow Transplant. Through my recovery we had discoverd "A LOT" of little things that "WE" "The Doctor's & I" had to take care of. But in the end "WE MADE IT" "Your dad was the "MAIN BOSS" & "MY MAIN SUPPORT" My mom recalls either Sara or Catherine coming into my room with her "DADDDY" He was as "PROUD" as he could be about his chldren."HE LOVED YOU KIDS VERY MUCH" After church one day I remember: He said "He prayed for me & considered me one of his kids too"

My stay at UPMC was from July 3, 1994 to April 12, 1994. You probably recall many stories about the "PATIENT WHO NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE UPMC" THAT WAS ME!!!!!!

At clinic visit's afterwards I always remember him asking me "How my mom was & How my aunt was" because they (My Mom & Aunt & Uncle) was there with me everyday visiting me. He always wanted to know "HOW "THE LOVE LIFE" was for me? It was always a rough subject..LOL

He always had a beautiful tie on & a gorgeous suit on too.

My Mom & Aunt & I will miss him very much....But one thing I keep close to MY HEART..Your "LOVING FATHER" gave "ME" and thousands of people a SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE & I have "MY OWN PERSONAL ANGEL UP IN HEAVEN WATCHING OVER US" God Bless You, Sara, Robbie Jr. & Catherine



PS...Hopefully one day we will be able to meet

I graduated from the University of Iowa College of Medicine and had the opportunity to work with Dr. Corry quite a bit. He was immensely talented and a fine teacher. I now live in Pittsburgh and saw Dr. Corry outside the hospital one day and I said hi and he actually remembered me, after all those years!

Lorraine Barraclough

February 18, 2002

My husband and I met Dr. Corry on April 7, 1998 during my evaluation for a kidney/pancreas transplant. He walked into the room in his scrubs and boat shoes with no socks. He introduced himself, we went over my records and he asked if we had seen his picture in the "Match", spring 1998 quarterly publication? We hadn't. He left the room in search of one and came back with it open to his picture in the center. He said we should read the article then grabbed it from our hands and said he really didn't the picture. He proceeded to take his pen and scribble on the picture and handed it back to us. He had covered his gray hair with the black pen. I still have the issue he scribbled on. It was then that I knew we had met a unique individual that would change our lives.



I had my transplant on a very early morning of December 21, 1998. From the begining both organs worked. I had been a diabetic since I was nine, for 37 years, and now I'm NOT. Dr. Corry was the man that pioneered this procedure and I can't thank him enough. He was passionate and compassionate in his work and deeds. He was funny and sometimes I still don't know if he meant to be. We will miss him very much and send our deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Hazel Schofield

February 17, 2002

My family and I are deeply saddened by the death of Dr. Corry. Beig a diabetic for 36 years and in end-stage renal failure, I finally gave up and prayed to God to Please let me die, i couldn't take the sickness and the burden I had placed my mother and daughter through anymore. That same day, I received a pancreas and kidney transplant by Dr. Corry. I have had a miraculous recovery and feel wonderful.

Dr. Corry was both a compassionate and vibrant man that I came to love and trust, after reading in his obituary that he gave God all the credit for his abilities to help others, I knew that he was truly an"Angel that God had sent to us".

We will miss him greatly.

Hazel, Marianne(mother), and Lauren(daughter).

It was with great shock and disbelief that I read about Dr. Corry's untimely death. My wife Roberta and I would like to express our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues. Through his skills and the grace of God, it is nearly three years since my kidney/pancreas transplant. Because of Dr. Corry, I saw my youngest daughter graduate from college, held my new born grandson and can once again lead a normal and productive life. May you all gain strength in knowing how much he meant to so many people. His son Robbie was right today, when he said his dad's spirit would live on forever. Dr. Corry was truly a gift from God and he will remain in our family's hearts and prayers forever.

It just will not be the same going to clinic and not seeing Dr. Corry.

He was very caring during my transplant and subsequent care he was always ready to talk to me and my wife. We both will miss him but are better for having him in our lifes for a little while. God bless his family.

I am very saddened by the passing of Dr. Corry. I received a kidney-pancreas transplant on December 9, 1999. There were complications with the pancreas so Dr. Corry had to do three more surgeries on my pancreas. Thanks to his determination and perserverance, I now lead a healthy and normal life. He is always, and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you Dr. Corry. I will miss you.

I am profoundedly saddened by the passing of Dr. Corry. Like so many others who have made entries in this book, I was saved and given a new lease on life through Dr. Corry's extraordinary talents. We met on Halloween day, 1996 when I was being evaluated for a kidney-pancreas transplant. His quiet confidence was a lifeline to me and it was on that day, for the first time in a long time, that I felt a sense of hope for my future. On March 29, 1997 he performed my surgery and my life has been renewed and rejuvenated since. Through the years, he became a loyal friend, a trusted confidant and the source of countless laughs. I will miss him more than I can ever express. My prayers and deepest sympathies go out to Robbie, who I was fortunate enough to meet, and to Sara and Catherine. While I know you all know this, I would be remiss if I failed to tell you again that your father was a great man and that he has left a void that simply cannot be filled. God bless you all.

February 14, 2002

My condolences go out to Dr. Robert Corry’s family, patients, friends and colleagues. His loss shall leave a void for not only the Transplant community, but for humanity. Dr. Corry, along with transplant surgeons Dr. H. Albin Grisch and Dr. Atsushi Sugitani, gave my wife, Lynn, the gift of life on July 19, 1996, with a Kidney-Pancreas transplant, after Diabetes and the difficulties that come with it had all but taken it away. Although the transplant was a rousing success other complications followed. Throughout this time, as well as since, Dr. Corry was always available for the silliest of questions or a complete explanation of the workings of the Pancreas.

Dr. Corry has left me with many fond memories during this most difficult of times. A favorite was when on rounds he would hand me my wife’s chart and would always include me in the discussion of her case, sometimes to the chagrin of his colleagues. This was particularly amusing when a new group of medical students was accompanying him. With all of the lives that Dr. Robert Corry touched he shall be deeply missed by all of us who were blessed enough to know him.

My deepest sympathies go out to Linda, Robbie, Sarah and Catherine.



Dr Corry and I met in 1974 when I was a senior in high school and had begun dialysis. My parents and I met with Barb Schanbacher and Dr Corry for our family meeting to discuss transplantation. In the 1970s kidney transplantation was very newsworthy. Barb, Dr Corry and I would do TV, radio and newspaper interviews together promoting organ donation. That's when I got to know Dr Corry on a more social basis. We became friends.



Through the years there are many fond memories such as watching him hang a spoon from his nose at an annual Kidney Foundation luncheon. :)



I came to know his family when I would become the "nanny for a week" and move into the Corry house and care for Robbie, Sarah and Catherine when he and Linda would attend the annual American College of Surgeons conventions each October.



Dr Corry performed all three of my kidney transplants: 1974, 1979, 1980. The third time has been a charm for me after nearly 22 years with normal renal function. Thanks a great deal to Dr Corry and his brilliant talent as a surgeon and the expectations he set for his patients. He could perform the technical procedure, but it was up to each of his patients to meet his goal: for all of us -- to lead a normal, productive life after transplantation. He was always interested in the patients and their lives, not just their medical outcome.



We kept in touch only through Christmas cards over the past few years and I will miss that. I will also miss sending a card to him every July thanking him for his skill and efforts and asking "Where were you July 10, 1980?"



I will miss him and think of him often, particularly every July 10.



God Bless you Robb.

Words can not desribe the sadness of this untimely loss of a great surgeon, mentor, and friend. His legacy will surely live on through the careers of those whom have had the distinct honor and privilege to be trained by him. We will miss him greatly. My sincerest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

No words can express the saddness I feel. Dr. Corry was my great teacher and friend. I wanted to report you that we (Shige Inoue, Yasu Okabe and I) had had three succesful pancreas and kidney transplantation, one of which was from non-heart beating donor in Japan. The pictures of you, colleagues and my family are my treasure. Dr. Corry, please watch, train and smile us from the heaven.

I first met Dr. Corry on Sept 10, 1999. He came into the the family waiting room at Presby to wake me up and let me know that my husband Robb was doing well after his kidney/pancreas transplant. A few days later when Robb suffered complications that required emergency surgery, we met in the family waiting room again.



I apologized to Dr. Corry for ruining his Sunday afternoon. He told me that when he was a boy he had to memorize a poem in Sunday school. "God has a job for everyone; If I don't do it, it won't get done." He also shared that his job had cost him a great deal personally.



I will always be grateful that Dr. Corry was there to do such a fabulous job when Robb needed him. We will both miss his wry sense of humor and unique style in clinic.

My condolences go out to the family of Dr. Robert Corry. I had first Dr. Corry in 1997 I had first met Dr. Corry at UPMC in order for the pre-evaluation process for a double kidney-pancreas transplant. I was put on the transplant list and in August of 1999, I received my transplant. Dr. Corry had performed the transplant and my pancreas has performed perfectly even after two years. In the time that I was in Pittsburgh Dr. Corry would always come to the clinic as early as possible and always had time for every patient there. He would love talking with my father in Spanish and got along with my mother as well, always being kind and friendly. He liked the fact I always wore my Yankees hat and the fact I was from NY, mentioning his daughter was from there and how he was looking forward to seeing her again. You could tell that Dr. Corry was devoted to his family as well as his practice in medicine. All the times I have been in the hospital in one hospital or another I have never met a doctor such as Dr. Corry. I remember once the doctors had prescribed for me to take Kayexalate and so I told them how disgusting it was. Dr. Corry came into the room and asked me why I wouldn’t take it. I told him how gross it was and that no doctor really knew how bad it tasted, well Dr. Corry then took the cup and drank the entire amount, then told the resident to get him a glass of water and prescribed another medicine that would bring down my potassium anyway. For the first time in my life I was so grateful that a doctor put himself in my shoes and that he would relate to his patients unlike any other doctor that I have ever met. I will miss Dr. Corry so much for all that he has done for me, giving me renewed life and the ability to no longer go through life as a diabetic. I as well as my family and friends will all miss him so for all that he has done. He will be greatly missed.

February 13, 2002

No words can express the saddness I feel. I worked with Dr. Corry as a transplant coordinator. He was a kind and gentle person. Always caring, always putting others before his needs, always making people smile. He was a proud man and very deserving of it with all of his accomplishments at the University of Pittsburgh. He was also very proud of his children and new grandchild. His office is proof of that..pictures everywhere. It is and will be very difficult to come to the office everyday knowing he will not be there. I will miss him deeply and will think of him always. I know that he is at peace now.

Dr. Corry's contributions to the field of transplantation are legendary. No greater tribute could be paid to him than the hundreds of lives he touched in offering live saving organ transplants. We here at the University of Iowa are deeply saddened by his death and fondly remember him as an excellent clinician and surgeon, but more importantly, as a treasured friend. Our thoughts and prayers are sent to his family. I also had the privilege of working with Robb for 19 years and deeply appreciated his skill, caring and compassion to his patients/families, and especially as a dear friend.

Devastated by the untimely demise of Dr Robert Corry, a perfect Surgeon, a gentleman and a wonderful human being. He would take such keen interest in his trainees and was always availble for help and advice at any time of the day or night. I would miss him tremendously. May God give strength to his family to bear this untimely loss. He has left a gap which can not be filled.

Cindy Dixon Clary

February 13, 2002

Dr. Corry was one of the most respectful men I have known. He was my mother's doctor in 1996 and 1997. He went above and beyond the call of duty. His patience and understanding kept me calm and focused and he showed me that he truly cared. He will be greatly missed by those of us who knew him and by the many he had yet to touch.



On my mother's final Christmas Eve, he not only arranged for her to leave the hospital to go to my house for a few hours, but he joined us there himself. He chose to spend his time with those in need and was able to make sacrifices in spite of his busy schedule. He made my last Christmas with my mother more fulfilling than it would otherwise have been.



My heart is heavy and my sorrow great for his family and friends.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of the untimely death of such a wonderful man and great surgeon. ON Sept. 8,2001, Dr. Corry gave me the gift of a new life. Under his skillful hands I received a new pancreas and a new kidney. As of today, I am doing great and enjoying my renewed life with my family, especially my grandchildren.

I recall, during one of my many visits to the transplant clinic, how excited he was about going out West to see his new grandchild. I told him it was the greatest feeling in the world.

The medical profession has lost a most precious link in the on going chain of transplantation advances.

He will be greatly missed both as a doctor and a person. Gratefully yours, Warren Ruzanic
