I spent a few months in Josh's lab as an externship during veterinary school. He was a gifted mind and a kind and generous person. My condolences are with Margaret his wife.

A wonderful mentor who made huge contributions to the field of metastasis research.

Very sad news. I had the honour of working in his labs for a few months in 1999. He was a truly inspirational scientist. Himself and Judah Folkman changed our understanding of cancer and were the leaders in the development of anti-angiogenic therapy. A great mind that will be hugely missed.  My deepest condolences to all his friends and family.

Josh was my Mentor, a teacher through out my career, a second father and a friend whom I admired. I owe him more then word can express. I will miss his wisdom, sense of humor and life insight.
I have lost a great Mench

I very much enjoyed Josh Fidler's dynamic approach to research and his focus on identifying those factors that are most relevant to treatment. He was a firebrand and leader of the highest caliber.  All the cancer researchers I know are very sorry to hear of his loss. I send my condolences to Dr. Kripke who is also a phenomenal leader and great companion for Dr. Fidler. 

For quite a while in the 80's and 90's Josh and I worked on similar areas of research.  I remember his great enthusiasm and generosity--and wonderful humor.  I miss him and also, my condolences to Margaret.

Very sad to receive news today of the passing of my mentor Dr 'Josh' Fidler. As a young Post-Doc I started work with Josh in 1976 and a green, very naive researcher could not have asked for a better or more involved Lab head. The years from 1976 -1983 spent in the Fidler lab were ones of great excitement and I have never forgotten the ethos and comradeship that Josh instilled in all of us; he was a charismatic leader and will long be remembered.

Dr. Fidler was my PhD mentor 20 years ago. I had read his work in undergrad and knew I wanted to join his lab. I’ll never understand why he agreed to allow this relatively clueless girl from Louisiana to join his lab, but I am forever grateful. He was intense, at times blunt, and asked for excellence from all, and that was exactly what I needed! I owe him my entire scientific career. Very few PIs spend that much time growing and teaching their students. He was a treasure! Dr. Fidler was also incredibly kind. I saw that side of him many many times. He was quick to apologize and eager to offer words of encouragement when needed. He will always hold a special place in my heart.
