Ram Setia Obituary
Wanaque - Dr. Ram S. Setia of Wanaque, NJ, formerly of Paramus and Hawthorne, NJ, passed away on April 16, 2020. He was 80 years old.
Ram was born and raised in India before migrating to Montreal, Canada, and then New Jersey in 1969. He was the first Surgeon of Indian decent on staff at Hackensack University Medical Center and practiced Orthopedic Sports Medicine for 37 years before retiring in 2008. Ram was very kind, generous and well respected by his family, friends, colleagues and patients, a positive thinker, an exercise enthusiast and a tennis nut. He was also a devoted member of Bethany Church in Wanaque.
Ram is survived by his three daughters Nina, Sabeena and Tina Setia, and two grandchildren, Anton and Rohan Shapiro. He was the loving brother, cousin, uncle to many, and special friend to Jane Preputin.
In light of current conditions limiting our ability to gather together, an intimate funeral service was privately held at George Washington Memorial Park on April 23, 2020. A memorial service for Dr. Ram Setia will be held at a later date. The family wishes to extend gratitude for all acts of kindness, thoughtfulness and sympathy shown at this time. Ram will be sincerely missed. Arrangements by the D'Agostino Funeral Home

So sorry and condolences to The family the passing of a great man what he did for me He gave me a life. Being 60 now but at the age of 18 I had suffered a very bad accident tearing apart my left foot the heel/ underneath it and the side your father put it back together with skin grafts and many hrs of surgery 42 yrs ago He was a pioneer in that field he told me there was no skin like the skin on your foot he took the skin from my thighs and made it work he was determined he was kind caring gentle soft spoken and intelligent and if it was any other doctor I probably would not have been able to walk again he was my miracle I’ll never forget him RIP Dr Setia
