Condolence: Dear Etkin Family

Dr Etkin was so much more than my children's Dr.
I am the mother of a 26 year old son with Autism, Dr.Etkin kept us on until last year.
We went through many things together, and we both learned so much from each other.
When he called me personally to say perhaps it was time my son Dave should see an adult Dr, I was heartbroken, but I agreed it was probably time since my son wss over 6 ft and quite large...he told me he loved us both.
He was there time and again, when we fought the school system ..no matter what I felt my son needed,Dr.Tom had complete faith that my judgement as his mother was on target. He always asked David { who has little language} about his life, school and how he was doing. He was kind beyond measure, and was one of few people our family could count on to know we were all doing our best.
There will never be another pediatrician as he...I trusted him, I admired him, and we all loved him so.

Condolence: I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr.Etkin. I started with him in 1976 when he was with Dr. Hurowitz. He cared for my three children as if they were his own. All three of them were 20 years old and didn't want to leave him. They loved him.He was a wonderful Dr. And I have many fond memories of him. He will be missed. Much sympathy to his family. Know he was loved by many!God bless!

Condolence: My family and I send our condolences to the entire Etkin Family. We will never forget how kind you all were to us when Louis was struggling with cancer. The pewter t-rex that Tom and Trevor made for him still sits on his desk along with his other most treasured possessions. It was such a kind gesture and helped give Louis and all of us the strength to carry on.
We wish you strength, peace and love.
