Walter Cornelius Reynolds M.D.

A wonderful man full of kindness who dealt with adversity like a true gentleman. A tremendous asset to our lives and the medical profession.

Dr. Reynolds was a joy to work with on the OHSU School of Medicine Alumni Board and was an outstanding President. He truly brought wisdom to each meeting and perspective for alumni programs and of course, humor. He was inspiring, memorable and leaves an impressive legacy. - from a past alumni director, thankful for his service to the School of Medicine and the greater community

Gif bless and receive him.

I never met Dr. Reynolds but have been a friend of his son, Michael, since we were students at UofOregon. It is so hard to lose a parent, Michael, and I am sending my warmest thoughts, from Australia, to you, Carole and your family.

Dr Reynolds was an amazing man. Only Dr I remember growing up on Evergreen Street with the Reynolds kids and the rest of the neighbors like the Eichentopf's, Gatto's, Robinsons, Cooney's, Dindia's, Pond's and on and on. When I was very young he came to my rescue after having fallin out of the cherry tree on 42's and Evergreen. He came to my parent's house and treated my broken arm before being sent to the hospital for 3 weeks. He even came to see me in the hospital although he wasn't my regular Dr. I have never forgotten that. He was truely a gentle man with a heart of gold.

I was a medical resident at Emanual Hospital in the 80's. I always respected who hard and the long hours that Dr Reynolds put in to care for his community. I was honored to know him. Best wishes to the family.

Dr. Walter Reynolds was my very favorite mentor while I attended OHSU. I spend a six week rotation with him, both at his office and shadowing him on his rounds at Emanuel Hospital in 1976. I have always felt that he embodied the essence of the caring, compassionate and extremely competent Physician and person. He has always been the model that I have tried to emulate in my career as a Physician.
