Myron Lutz Obituary

I am so sad for the Lutz family. Through Dr. Lutz' brilliant healing and caring, I was saved from ovarian cancer in 1995. I have thought of him very often since he retired in 2007, with a grateful heart. Rest in peace my dear doctor friend.

Sorry for your loss. 1john 4:16 God is love and he knows how difficult this time is for you

Amy, Ken and Judy,
I was so sad to hear about Myron's passing. He was such a great guy to work with. As a young pathologist, he would always try to instill confidence and remind me of a difficult diagnosis that I helped him with. Such a sweet man. Hope you all are doing well. You all are in my thoughts.

So many memories are flooding through my mind. Judy, my dearest friend, I want to share one of the best of them. You and Myron came to visit us for a weekend, and the drive was hard on Myron. He didn't get much sleep because Carlton snored so loudly. Then there was the black towel incident! But all the tension melted away when we took a boat ride down the Silver River and laughed our heads off. We still tell that story and laugh about it all. We loved Myron and love you and your family so much.

Judy, Sheri, Mark and Kenny,
Just heard about Myron. So sorry for your loss. Wishing you strength and sending love at this difficult time.

Dr Lutz was a compassionate person who dedicated his life to women's' health. I had the privileged of working with him for many years at Roper Hospital. He was highly respected not only by his patients but the nurses who worked with him and fellow colleagues. He will be truly missed. Kathy Kuhn, RN

Dear Lurz family, please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of Dr. Lutz. It was such a privelage to be a patient of Dr. Lurz, the most special, knowlegible and caring human being. There is nothing I can say to ease your pain, but please know my heart is joining yours in prayer during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Lutz, He took care of my Mother when she had cancer and He delivered my son. He was a kind and compassionate person. God Bless his Family.

Always sad to see contemporary colleagues pass on. I will remember Myron as a dedicated and skilled doctor and a good friend. He was among other accomplishments instrumental in creating the Private Practice arm of the SGO, together with us pioneers in this field and with considerable opposition from the establishment. Rest in peace after a life well lived,
Staffan

Dr. Lutz was one of the kindest and caring physicians I have had the privilege to know. He was deeply respected by his patients and colleagues for his compassion, care and excellence.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I'm so sorry to hear about Myron's passing. He was a wonderful guy and I loved the time we worked together. Holding you all in my heart and praying for comfort during your time of grief. May his memory be a blessing that sustains you and comforts you.

Dear Judy, Mark, Sheri and Ken -
I am so happy I had the chance to spend a few days with you and Myron a couple of years ago in Charleston. Our time spent together through the years may not have been many and long, but each visit was always so special. How lucky you were to have had Myron in your lives for so long... but then again, it certainly wasn't long enough. My heart goes out to all of you over your loss, for it is a tremendous one that only time will help to ease the pain that goes with it. Smile, laugh, and remember all the wonderful times you all shared together because you know that's probably what Myron would want for all of you. I love you and wish I could be with you at this time.

Dear Judy, dearest Sheri and family,

my loving thoughts and deepest sympathy to you all. I regret not having had the privilege of meeting Myron personally, but I was very touched by his kindness to me many years ago when I had just been diagnosed with cancer. With his knowledge, and above all with great warmth and understanding he helped to push the fears away. That memory is part of me. With love, Susan

My deepest sympathy to Judy and the rest of the family. I have lost not only a colleague but also a very dear friend in Myron. We chatted just about six weeks ago and spoke movingly about our friendship. I was in the operating room two days ago dealing with a surgical problem and I could not help recalling from the hinterland of my many experiences with Myron how many times we had dealt with this particular problem. Returning home the day after, I learned of his passing. He was a perfectionist in the operating theater; he had the best pair of hands that I have encountered in any gynecologist. His patients loved and highly admired him, and well they did for he was a great human being!

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Lutz. He was a loving, caring, and wonderful physician who took care of me and my mother for at least 25 years. We loved him as he was such a friend to us. May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. I am truly heartbroken over his passing as well.

As a former patient of Dr. Lutz, I would like to extend my condolences to the family. He was a wonderful doctor - caring, gifted, and wise. He simply was the best!

One of the finest and most caring colleague. I had the pleasure of being a friend and caring for his father as a resident physician. So sadly missed.
Courtney Fisher, M.D. (Charleston,SC)

Praying for comfort for all of you. Myron was one of the most loved men in my life. And I love you all. I'll never forget when he was there for me with Eric.

I give thanks for your friendship and the chance to know your and Judy as your massage therapist. I will miss our times together. Nicole

Praying for the family during this difficult time. Dr. Lutz was one of the best doctors I've ever met. He cared about all of his patients. He and Nancy always had a beautiful smile on their faces when they entered the room. Dr. Lutz was my grandmother's doctor. When she was diagnosed with uterine cancer, he went through everything with us as if he was our family. He then became my mom's doctor, then mine. Over 30+ years of knowing someone so wonderful. I know Heaven has a place for him because his heart was filled with love and compassion. He will greatly be missed. We will love Dr. Lutz always. Forever grateful!

doctor, family,

Dear Lutz family,

Thinking of you and praying you will find strength and peace at this very sad time. I had the opportunity and honor to work with Dr.Lutz and help care for his patients for many years as a nurse at Roper Hospital. He was an amazing, talented and truly devoted physician. He also always took time to teach,encourage,challenge and motivate us to be the best nurses we could be. He had an unforgetable sense of humor and never gave up hope in any circumstance. He will forever be remembered and missed by many.

Myron Lutz was a physician's physician-
Intelligent, wise, compassionate, and hard working. He was a mentor and a friend. For over 25 years, I benefitted as I watched his skill in action. His patients adored him and he returned their love. People like Myron don't come by often, but when they do, the rest of us are just lucky to have learned from them. Condolences from Christine and I to Judy, the children and grandchildren and to all who knew him. He will be missed. Bill Brener and Christine Lloyd

To know him, even a short time, was to love him and now we will miss him. Our love to Judy and the whole Lutz family during this very sad time.

So very sorry to hear of Dr Lutz passing. Wishing peace, comfort, & strength for all of his family. He was a Wonderful Physician & Compassionate Healer & Person. He will certainly be missed!

Judy, images of you and Myron dancing flood my memory! I learned so much from him. Your family and you are in my prayers

My Lutz Family- it's been too long, but time has not lessened our love for the family or diminished the sadness of Uncle Myron's passing. We miss you all deeply and wish we could be there even for just a few moments to share this time. Know that we are thinking of all of you and sending our love, support, and prayers for comfort, strength and peace. With much love and affection, Adam and Robin Weinstein

So sorry to hear...Dr. Lutz gave me a second chance at life 32 years ago. Not only did he heal me, he touched my soul and I am forever grateful.

I was an anesthesiologist at Roper Hospital and I worked with Myron for many years. In addition to being a truly excellent surgeon, he was known as one the most caring physicians any of us had ever known. His compassion for patient's family members was boundless. In the operating room he would do the most meticulous surgery for hours and hours when all of us knew that the chances for complete cure was nearly zero. He knew that those chances were not completely zero and felt that every patient deserved the chance to be one of those still surviving years later.
Myron was also a good personal friend, and I will never forged the professional and personal support he gave me when I had great difficulties many years age.

Wonderful man and wonderful physician. My heart goes out to the entire family

Dear Carla and Mark,
So sorry to hear this news. Although I had never met him in person , I only heard wonderful stories of love,kindness, and thoughtfulness. My prayers are with all of you. Ya'll were truly blessed.
Love,
Maureen Catenacci

Dr. Lutz was my mother's oncologist in her fight against ovarian cancer 31 years ago. He was truly a blessing to her and our entire family during that very difficult year. Always compassionate, always caring, always putting patient welfare first. I know that he and Mom are teasing each other again with the angels! My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Lutz family and his many friends.

Dear Judy and Family,

We were saddened to see in the paper this morning of Myron's passing. He was my colleague and friend . He was a dedicated and caring physician for his patients who loved him dearly.

We wish to extend our love and prayers to you and your family .

Carium and Peggy

My deepest sympathy to your entire family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

One of the most caring and brilliant physicians I have known. So blessed that he was part of my life for so many years.

I met Myron and was tutored by him in GYN Oncology in 1973 at Jackson Hospital in Miami where he was a fellow and I an intern. I returned to Charleston for residency at my Alma Mater MUSC and, lo and behold, there he was, a faculty member in the Department of OB-GYN as a GYN Oncologist. Great news! I continued to work under him and, more importantly, with him.
He was a gifted teacher, always taking extra time to pass on some of his wealth of knowledge. His personal specialty was patient care, always fighting and innovating. He listened to patients and their families. He exemplified character - compassion, humility, and work ethic. A lasting impression.
After I finished residency and he was n private practice, he did me the honor of caring for my wife Jan and delivering our first child. He is fondly remember by both of us.
My sympathy and condolences to Judy and his family. God bless you.

Judy, Ken, Amy, Zachary and Hannah,
So sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed running into your dad and grandfather at various gatherings. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

When my husband and I told my doctor at Johns Hopkins that we were moving to Charleston, he immediately said that the doctor for me was Myron Lutz and that he would notify him that I would be calling. Dr. Lutz took me on as a patient and I was with him until his retirement. That was a very sad day for me. Such a kind and compassionate person!

I am so sorry to read of his passing.

What a wonderful, loving man Dr Lutz was. My mother Gladys Proper had ovarian cancer and he was her doctor. I saw how he spent time with her and truly loved her. He will be missed.

Myron was a year senior to me at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine OB/Gyn Residency Program, New York City. It was evident as early as those training days that he was a great doctor and compassionate person. I learned much from him during our time together and knewt that he would become an exceptional practitioner.
My heartfelt condolences to Judy and the entire family

Myron was such a gentle soul. I know he will be missed by his family, friends and former patients. Wishing you peace and comfort.
