I remember Dr. Kornbluth with great affection and admiration.   I had to leave him for an infertility specialist.  When I was finally pregnant, I went back to Dr. Kornbluth to deliver my baby.  He was THE.BEST.OB/GYN.EVER.    I loved running into him with my daughter.  Even after his stroke, his character and great humor still remained.  I think of him often and when I read of his family's accomplishments, I smile and say "not surprised they're successful, they had a great role model".  xoxoxo, Debbie Garson

As I’ve written before, Korny was a wonderful friend, classmate and colleague for many decades. His intelligence and quick wit were always on display and always made for a better day. He was a fine doctor and a great human being. 

May he Rest In Peace.

May he Rest In Peace. 

Always in my heart,.  since we were teenagers together at מחנה מסד.

Dear Susie and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I send such belated condolences on the news of Korny's passing.  Though I am one of "many", I have to add my voice of appreciation for the special human being that Korny was and will ever be.  He was a friend to me and my husband from the minute we arrived in Cleveland.

Korny had the unique "gift" of making anyone whom he focused upon feel special. And what a brilliant & compassionate doctor.  May his memory come to strengthen you.  He adored his family and I imagine his later  years were filled with joy as his family was close and reminded him of how dear he was.  

With deep sadness and gratitude for knowing him….Dorothy & Jeffrey  Siminovitch

I worked with “Korny” for many years at Beachwood Ob -Gyn.  What a beautiful man!  Generous.  Kind. Witty. Brilliant.  Every  day I worked there, I woke up looking forward to get to the job-he made it such a caring, welcoming place.  No one was or will ever be like him again. 

Dear Family and Friends,
I am so sorry for your loss.  I worked with Dr. Kornbluth at Mt. Sinai for many years.  I will always remember his wonderful smile, his great sense of humor and his love and adoration for his family.  He will be greatly missed.

The world has lost a joyful man.
Let's honor Korny with grace, gratitude, humor and irreverence.  We all need a bit of Korny attitude now.
Love to all who will miss Korny!
XO, Robin, Peter and fam

Dear Susie,

What a charming, joyful, kind, intelligent man Korny was!  He had a smile that lit up every room he entered.  Please know that I'm thinking of you and your family as I extend to you all my most sincere feelings of sympathy. May you find comfort in your many happy memories and in the love you shared. 

Warmly,
Jill Selman Ross

My name is Hank Frisch, my father is a resident at Menorah Park Shaker Rm 113. I am very sorry for your loss.
I met Korny last year on my visits to my Dad. I always enjoyed seeing him and the spirit he had in spite of his circumstance.  

Each time I saw him he would rattle off some inappropriate jokes. Sometimes I would have to ask him three times to tell the joke but once I got it he would have a beaming grin. 
I would tell him jokes and could tell he was all there and still sharp in his mind. I am very glad I got to know him. 

Dear Susie,

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family .  May the memories you hold and the comfort friends and family extend help you through your sorrow.

Dr Kornbluth (Korny) was such a gem. I will never forget how kind, sensitive and empathetic he was through my miscarriage experience years ago. I literally remember him holding my hand. Sending my deepest sympathies to Susie, Kathy, and the entire family. The world has lost a good one. 

To m y good friend Susie and her family

Korny was one of the most charming men I ever knew and he had this wonderful gift  that when I was in his company  he always made me feel special  I’m so lucky and proud to have known him. May he Rest In Peace. To all I send my love

Dear Susie and family,
That wonderful man was one of my beloved docs. Took great care of us all.
I am so very about this sad news. He will be forever in our hearts.

Dear Susie and Family,
I was so sorry to learn of Korny's passing. I first met him more than 65 years ago, dated him a few times, and adored him forever. My sincerest condolences to all.

Susie, and Ellie, and all):
As you know, Korny and I (and Rosalie) grew up together in Montreal and, although we all 3 moved elsewhere,  I had the good fortune to reconnect (through Rosalie) with Korny in Cleveland.  He was a terrific guy with unforgettable warmth and personality.  My sincere condolences to all of you on the loss of a special person.

Twenty-Seven years ago I was lucky enough to find myself pregnant in Cleveland and in the hands of one of the warmest and kindest people I can ever remember meeting. Korny's smile was as big as his office and he made me feel like part of his family from the minute we said hello. My time in Cleveland is a cherished memory and Korny gave me the comforts of home while away from my family. I think of him often and will miss him always. 

Our heartfelt condolences to the Kornbluth family on your loss of Korny. He was a friend for some 65 years. Although we only spoke occasionally, he was frequently in our thoughts, and will remain there.  He was a great person and a fine doctor.  He will be much missed by all who knew him. 

So sorry for your loss. 
Working at Beachwood Ob/Gyn was one of best jobs and alot was because of "Korny" as we fondly called him. God bless him and his loving family.

My condolences to the family of  dear Irwin  Kornbluth. I met him when he joined the medical in gym Practice that I use. Always had a smile on his face always cracking a joke. And I’m so grateful that we became friends inside other socially. May his memory always be for a blessing. And again my deepest sympathy to all of you on this tremendous loss.
Bonnie Chizek 

Dear Kornbluth family, 
I remember Irwin/Korny as a bigger than life, charming man. He was a great story and joke teller. As the youngest Kornbluth first cousin, I heard about him from so many. His reputation was far reaching. And always the same - warm, charming, funny. 
He will be remembered for those qualities. 
May his memory be a blessing. 
Lots of love 
Linda Kornbluth Kislowicz 


Dear Kornbuth Family and extended family:  

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy.  Korny was such a great guy with so much happiness and fun inside him.  His goodness is reflected in all of you, the family he loved so very much.

May the wonderful memories you have of him bring you comfort in the days ahead.



Korny and I met 70 years ago at Camp Massad in the Quebec Laurentians and have remained friends ever since.  After he left Montreal, we reconnected in Cleveland numerous times, first on many happy occasions and later by daily emails, then by frequent telephone conversations, supplemented by  many handwritten letters which I would send on Jewish holidays.
Korny was so smart, so gentle, so good looking, so musical and though he loved to tell jokes, he wasn’t really a funny guy!  I was so lucky to know him .  I shall remember him best as a swimming counsellor, and shall miss him forever.

A REAL MENSCH! He had an amazing personality and was loved by everyone who knew him! It all started with a few jokes a very pleasant person.May his memory be for a blessing and he should Rest In Peace! 

Dr. Kornbluth made it his mission to make me laugh whenever I saw him.  I worked at Menorah Park and Korney would come by my office to share a joke, the dirtier the better as if he got extra points for making me blush.   His genuine warmth always brightened my day.  He shared stories of his friends and family and was most proud of all the babies he welcomed into the world. I’m so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies to Dr. Kornbluth’s family.  Dr. K trained me at Mt. Sinai, as he did so many others. Not a day goes by that I’ve not thought of him— he taught me much more than medicine. May he rest in peace. My prayers go out to him and his family.

My deepest sympathies to the Kornbluth family.  Dr. Kornbluth delivered both of my daughters and he has always held a special place in my heart!  I remember him always having a joke when I had an office visit.  I remember him coming to visit me in the hospital very late at night on Thanksgiving, the day after he had delivered my daughter...even though it was his day off, he was covering for his coworkers so that they could celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.  He was a very kind, caring and wonderful doctor.  May all of your special memories  bring you  comfort during this difficult time.  RIP Dr. Kornbluth...

Irwin and I extend our deepest sympathies on the loss of this wonderful man.
He has always held a special place in our hearts.

Irwin and Harriet Brownstein 

I am so sorry to read of the loss of this most incredible man.  Dr. Kornbluth was my ob/gyn and he is forever imbedded in my heart.  He delivered our daughter and I adored him.  I saw him many times throughout the years, often with Susie pushing him in his wheelchair.  His enthusiasm when I saw him always made me feel so warm and fuzzy.  My condolences to Susie and the entire family.  

With deepest sympathy and great affection,
Debbie Garson
