Frank John Pugliesi M.D.

Dr Pugliesi, because of your encouragement many many years ago, I became an RN. I will always remember working with you, I was a young 22 year old, your manager Pat ran a tight ship. I will always remember your kindness, & how you taught me how to be the best ob-gyn medical assistant, you often said to me Phyllis you would be a good nurse, you sat & helped me learn medical terminology.
Your two children Anita & your son were very young, & you were so proud of them both.& spoke so proudly of them. I love when you & Dr Salvaggio would be in our back office, pretending to be in Palm Springs, swinging a pretend golf club.
I'm so happy I talked to you a few years ago, & I was able to remind you because of you, I became a RN, & worked confidently, if you believed I could do it, I did. Thank you Dr Pugliesi for helping to find my future vocation.
My condolences to your wife, & your children, be comforted

I"m so happy my past had you in it Dr P.

Love, Phyllis J Bookwalter-Martinez

May we continue to honor and respect all the lessons we have learned; acting as living symbols of a loving spirit. You are in our prayers.
