My heart still goes out to the Dozoretz family. I want to thank Ron and Beth for everything they have done for me. Most certainly he was a great person. He was one of the most generous person I have ever met. He will be in my memory forever.

Ron was a colleague, trusted friend and mentor. He was a one-of-a-kind, legendary healthcare entrepreneur who built many successful businesses that helped change the the industry and our lives for the better. Ron helped introduce us to Idaho and its many charms. I will miss truly our lunches at Michael's. Rest in peace, Dr. D.

I was shocked when I learned today of his passing. Ron was a man of passion, great intellect, dedication, kindness and a large heart. He was there for me when my husband and my mother died. I believed he would live forever. My dear cousin will always be remembered in my heart. My sincerest condolences to Beth, their children and grandchildren. He was a great man!

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Ronald I. Dozoretz, a major force behind the establishment (and maintenance) of the DNIMAS (Dozoretz National Institute for Mathematics and Applied Sciences) program at Norfolk State University. I did not know him personally, but taught many engineering and computer science students, in the DNIMAS program, at Norfolk State University, 1991-2016. The program produced many excellent students, of which, during my tenure there, many went on to graduate school and completed their advance degrees, some masters and some doctorates. Kudos to Dr. Dozoretz for playing a major role in the establishment (and maintenance) of such a program. It is helping to increase diversity nationwide, in mathematics and applied sciences.. (Dr. Archie W. Earl, Sr., Former Associate Professor of Mathematics, Norfolk State University)

So sad to hear the news that Dr. Dozoretz passed away. I worked for Dr. D from 1998 to 2006. It was an honor and a privilege. He was incredibly kind, caring and so very generous. The one thing I will never forget about him was his total devotion, love and affection for his family. Such a special man -- he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Beth and his wonderful family. May he rest in peace.

Working with Dr. D became the cornerstone of my professional growth. I learned so much from him about caring, giving, and partnership. He was the very model of a big thinker, but also the big doer. He wasn't just a blue sky dreamer, but the sort of man who made ideas real. He was such a leader, and I am so grateful to call him a mentor and friend. To Beth and his entire family, my deepest sympathy is shared with you. He was a gift to all who knew him, but what a gift to you whom he loved.
