I had the privilege of first meeting Jerry during my years of training in New York, but perhaps more importantly, had the joy of cycling with him and Beverly through the hills and backroads of Loire France. He exists in our fondest memories.

Dear Siegel Family,

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Jerome Siegel. Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time.

Dr. Siegel played a pivotal role in my journey through nursing school. He not only hired me but also empowered me with his vast knowledge and experience, helping me to successfully graduate. I will always cherish the pride he took in my achievements, especially when he had my diploma framed as a testament to my hard work. His encouragement and support meant the world to me.

Beyond his professional mentorship, Dr. Siegel had a genuinely big heart. He cared deeply for his patients and his staff, always going above and beyond to ensure their well-being.
I enjoyed our regular email exchanges and looked forward to his responses, which were always filled with wisdom and kindness.

Dr. Siegel was truly a wonderful human being who impacted countless lives, both professionally and personally. His absence will be felt by many, and he will be greatly missed.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this challenging time.

With deepest sympathy,

Krystyna, Nathalia, Olivia and Gary Kobrosky

Our deepest condolences to the Siegel family. There are no words to fully express the love and appreciation our family will always have for Dr. Siegel. I started to work with Dr. Siegel as a nursing student. During this time, I became a mom then went on to passing the NCLEX, all with the immense encouragement and support from Dr. Siegel who cheered me on every step of the way. I am grateful for the time he took to attend my graduation. In addition, he mentored several of my colleagues, our daughter and fellow classmates. The confidence, guidance, leadership, encouragement and friendship he extended made him the best mentor anyone could ask for. We will forever be inspired by Dr. Siegel´s professionalism, the knowledge he shared and the indelible impact he had on so many.
May Dr. Siegel´s memory be a blessing.
Elizabeth, Bern, Taylor, Bernie

My condolences to the Siegel family. I am an RN who worked with Dr.Siegel many times at The Valley Hospital in Ridgewood N.J. He was a true gentlemen with great skills and knowledge. We enjoyed our common appreciation for corny jokes...my skill. He was a great mentor to the nurses and always treated us professionally. I will miss him as a person and as a physician. When i read his obituary i was not suprised of his life experiences despite his professional persona of being very down to earth kinda of person. My nurse colleagues and I will miss him.
