I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Gotlin. He delivered my first and second baby and will forever hold a special place in my heart. I am grateful for his kindness, care, and the role he played in such an important moment of my life. May he rest in peace.
One of the good ones…..
I am deeply sorry about Douglas passing, he was so charismatic and charming, his smile and positive spirit went along his high professional standards and care for his patients, we are definitely miss him , prayers for his beloved family 😢
I have so many memories of Doug. I can see him in his Judo gi on the mat teaching kids not much older than him. He would walk the mat making sure to get his “good work” encouragement in every few seconds. He would have to leave the mat if anyone had a bloody nose or a scratch because he couldn’t stand the sight of blood. Anytime we saw each other over the years, we laughed about this because of the profession he decided to specialize in. I think of his over the top wedding with his beautiful wife and how happy I was to be able to share it with them. I also am so glad that I got to spend some one-on-one time with him not so long ago when he visited me in Galveston. I love him and the entire Gotlin Family so much. Even though we have not been able to see each other often, I have always considered them family and my heart is broken for them and their loss. I want them to know that I will always keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest condolences to you Nicole, Max, Susan, Ronald, Natalia & Family. Words cannot express our sadness. We loved Dougie so much and are just devastated. We are thinking of you every minute and hoping you can hold on to each other until we can get to you. My fondest memory is when we planned to surprise Tony in Miami Beach for his birthday and Doug was hiding behind the glass wall as we walked by. It was the absolute best day ever. We love you all dearly. Doug will be missed so much we cannot imagine him not here. XOXO ALL OF OUR LOVE, THE DARDANO FAMILY
