My wife (Marilyn) and I were on a river boat (12/30/18) on the may-gong river when we met another couple  and for some reason we got onto college times, after the doctor said he went to medical school in Miami. I mentioned my friend Stephen Dresnick and he then told me that his roommate at Tulane was Dresnick brother. I was amazed and and asked him about Stephen when he told me he passed away some years ago. Stunned! Had I known I would have been at the funeral.
So sorry, so sorry. My parents here in California loved him. Always, Always a smile on his face. I miss the night he and his wife and Marilyn and I went to Joe's Stone Crab. So impressed with his kindness and the joy we had in college at UNC,

So sorry,

Errol Stambler

This evening I went to dinner w a former colleague who shocked me when he told me Steve had died 2 years ago. I was lost for words and very sad. May he rest in peace, and God continue to bless Abby.

On this birthday of  my  daughter who passed away 7+ years ago, thoughts and prayers also go out to Abby. We both lost very special people with warm and giving hearts much too early.

I walked into a job interview....the year 1987....empty office....to find this simple man, with a kind face and a firm handshake...after a 30 minutes interview, I had met my new boss. Little did I know, that for the next 7 years, I would be working with a man, that not only taught me the value of hard work, but the meaning of true friendship and loyalty. My heart is heavy...I feel true sadness...for the world has lost a man like not many. My deepest condolences to his family.  Dr. Dresnick I will never forget you.

Abby,
I'm very sorry. I was planning on contacting him this year. The work I do now at NYS-OMH was inspired by my experience working with your husband at Sterling.  This is something that I could not have imagined.  Rest in Peace, Dr. Dresnick.

I just found out about Steve's passing from the UNC Alumni magazine.  I went to school with Steve and remember him fondly. I am very sorry to hear of your loss.  My condolences to the family.

I was so sorry to hear this very sad news. Steve was a wonderful man and I can only imagine how heartbroken you are. I will keep all of the Dresnicks in my prayers.

Abby,
Today I just learned of Steve's passing.  I am saddened, as he was always my friend over the past 25 years.  I can't believe he was taken at such a young age. I wish you the best and if there is anything you or his mother need, please let me know.  My deepest heartfelt condolences.

I was so sorry to hear of our Miami High classmate's passing.  I seem to have known Stephen forever, back to junior high, I think.  He was always part of the group, and we will keep his good memory with us.  I hope his family will be comforted by all of the thoughts and prayers expressed by old friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I knew him during his surgical residency, working with him on the surgical side of the JMH ER.  He was an outstanding and caring physician, always taking charge of rooms 4 & 5  and saving lives. I send my deepest sympathy to his wife and family.

Dr. D was at our office a few months ago giving out flu shots.  That was a great example of the little things he would do during his busy day to help us live healthier lives.  He made our world a better place in many ways and will be dearly missed.

You were my advisor, confidante and friend. You will be in my heart always? My sympathies to Abby and the family
