I first met Dr.Luria when he was an
intern at Strong Memorial Hospital. We continued to have contact over the years as he was a special friend over the years to me and my family.
I extend my sympathy to his family.
I worked in the Department of Medicine for several years and often shared an early morning cup of coffee with Dr. Luria. He was a kind and compassionate man and I'm sure will be sadly missed my many people. I am glad I knew him.
Fran and I were heartbroken to learn of Dr. Luria's death. I came to SMH after more than 20 years in military medicine and Dr. Luria was my mentor and friend as I adjusted to a new environment of civilian life in the Emergency Dept.
The world of medicine has suffered a great loss.
I worked at the University of Rochester Medical School Associate Dean's Office from 1975-1980. I remember Dr. Luria very well. He always seemed to be such a pilar of strength to all.
With Sympathy,
Judy Heagney-O'Hara
Milt and I were chief medical residents together in 1996/7.He was definitely a "pillar of the institution"atStrong and contributed much in several areas, but especially towards the medical students. The students honored him for this on several occasions. Milt typified the old style approach, and by that I mean a very good one, towards handling the patient. I am very sorry to see his passing.

I am saddened to hear that Dr, Luria passed away. I was a med student and resident with him. On a daily basis, I recall 2 important things that he taught me.
1. No matter how bad the situation seems a physician can ALWAYS find a way to help even if it is only listening or comforting.
2. The more rushed you are, the more important it is to sit when rounding on a patient as the patient will notice and feel that you took more time than you actually may have spent.
He will be missed
