It was an honor to work with Dr Kosowsky over these past 30 years
He was brilliant, humble and always willing to teach and enlighten his coworkers and patients
His gentle caring nature rounded out his legacy as a human being who has touched many lives
Very sorry for your loss and for the empty space left behind at St Elizabeth's

Just saw the news in Harvard Medical School Magazine!  So sorry to hear. Sandy and I will always remember our Internship Year at Beth Israel Hospital when both our "oldest" were born! Joyce May his memory be a blessing B'Shalom,  Dick and Sandy Zimon

Sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I will miss you in St Lucia.  Fondly Martha and Robert Zier

He saved my life!

It was 3 years ago, a week before a trip to China, when I came in for a follow up. Dr. Kosowsky has put me on the tradmill and although I did great on it, he didn't like my recovery pace. He left the room and in two minutes came back in insisting that I undergo catherisation on the same day - my main artery was 90% blocked. I had my bypass done robotically the next day. 

I was Dr. Kosowsky's patient for the past 23 years, he was not only a great Cardiologyst but also a faithful friend and a true Good Samaritan.

I am so saddened...

My family and I are deeply saddened on hearing about the passing of Dr. Bernard Kosowsky. I have been a patient of his for the past 12 years and if it were not for him, I would not be writing this condolence note.  He saved my life. To his wonderful family, he has an army of patients that he has helped survive over the many years, who hsve deep gratitude for his brilliance and expertise, and love for the people he has been caring for. We all grieve with you.  God Bless him.

I had the privilege of knowing Dr Kosowsky for 35 years. Working on Seton 6 west. Wonderful Dr and human being. Will be really missed by the staff of Seton 6 West. Rest In Peace. Maureen Bridges and Staff of Seton 6 West.

So so sad to hear of the passing of  Dr Kosowsky I was a patient of his for the last 15 years I had nothing but respect and admiration for him my thoughts and prayers are with his family he will be sorely missed

To the KOSOWSKY family:  May the Almighty comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.  I lived down the street from you for most of my life.  I went to school with you for some time.  I remember visiting your house as a child and using a high powered magnet to pull a table across the room.  You dad helped my grandfather in the 1970s.  I watched your dad walk with you to/from the Talner's 100s of times.  I know your dad brought the community together with wisdom, strength and education.  I last saw your dad at an AIPAC event; doing whatever he could for Israel and Jews.  You are a reflection of your dad's legacy that will continue for generations to come.  May he rest in peace.

I had the honor and great privilege of having Dr. Bernie Kosowsky  as my father in law for 28 years.  He was a larger than life figure in our family and in the community.   His children and grandchildren revered him although he himself was a modest man who never sought glory.  He was always there when we needed him and could always be counted on to do the right thing.  He spent countless hours working for the community, healing his patients and being there for his family.  He seemed to know everything and was the person to whom we turned to for advice from little things like  directions to bigger questions about medical care.  The last day of his life, he was saying the kaddish for my dear mother.  Dad, we can't imagine a world without you!  We love you!

I have been a patient of Dr Kosowsky for many years. He was a wonderful doctor. Made you so comfortable when in his office. I will sorely miss him. No one can fill his shoes.

My sincere condolences to the Kosowsky family. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Dr. Kosowsky for over 30 years. I do not know of a more caring, intelligent , and humble man. An unparalleled physician, he treated all, patient and co-worker alike with great respect and kindness. I am so sorry of the sudden loss of such a good man.

My deepest sympathy to his family..Dr. Kosowsky , he was a brilliant Dr. and a wonderful,gentle man. He has touched many lives,and he will be forever in our hearts. Joan Connors and family.

 My heart is broken at the sad loss of Dr. Kosowsky. He was my dad's doctor until he died in 1973. He became my physician in 1978. I loved him as a man and as a cardiologist. I will miss him forever ! Thank you Mrs. Kosowsky for lending his time to me and my family.

We are so saddened over the sudden death of Dr. Kosowsky.  He was the
Greatest caretaker of Sydney for over 17years. His constant  low-keyed
Manner was always so reassuring to us. He was always a gentleman and
Brilliant doctor.

I will never forget seeing "BDK" riding his bike to work every day, regardless of the weather, and his "lub dub" talk remains one of my favorite diagnostic lectures.  He will be sorely missed by patients as well as staff.  Condolences to Mrs. Kosowski and his entire family.

Dr. Kosowsky has been my doctor and friend for 20 years - I was waiting for him to arrive to see me at 9am yesterday - I am so heartbroken, sending loving prayers to his friends and family - he was well loved by all,

Sincere sympathy to your family.
Dr. Kosowsky was a wonderful doctor
and instructor.  He will certainly
be missed by his patients and those of
us  who had the honor of working closely
with him over the years.  Susan McCloskey

Dr. Kosowsky touched the lives of scores of medical students, residents and Cardiology fellows; he was the consummate teacher. Adored by his patients and his colleagues.

We were all deeply saddened to hear the news today.  May the entire family be comforted amongst the mourners of Tzion and Jerusalem.

My sincere condolences. I have been a CCU nurse for 38 years at St. E's and worked closely with Dr. Kosowsky in the Cardiology dept. as well. He taught me everything I know about cardiology but he also taught me how to be a kind, caring person. And his dry humor and wry wit were unmatched. I am truly sorry for your loss.
