Thank you, Dr Pearlstein for saving my life. I was admitted to Norton's Children's Hospital in November 1975 for a lacerated liver and was bleeding out. A garbage dumpster had fallen on top of me. I was 5 years old then. You and Dr. Timothy Canty were the surgeons who saved my life. Today, I was telling the story of my accident and felt this strong urge to look up the attending surgeons who saved my life, to contact them, and to thank them. I did personally speak with Dr Canty on the phone this morning. Then I saw this obituary for you and read about all the many wonderful things you did for people. You brought happiness and healing to people. Today was truly a blessing for me. Thank you and God bless you Dr. Pearlstein!

First, in the 80s, Dr. P was the surgeon who saved my life when I was a teenager. Then he was a father figure and mentor who taught me about life and medicine. He encouraged me to "learn how to learn", was the reason I fell in love with medicine. I worked for him before PA school so I could get some medical experience in and be able to apply to PA school. I did my surgical rotation with him. He led by example on how to have the most compassionate and loving bed side manner that truly compares to none regardless of how exhausted he was.. He was of course, my friend, a prankster and loyal Dook fan even when I rooted against them. The greatest gift of all was when he became "Poppy" to my children. He loved my family and we sure loved him. I wish I had more pictures of him but the most precious to me I will share. He loved people so well, I hope he knows how well he was loved. Poppy changed the course of my life when I was a teenager and he affected it for the good pretty much every day thereafter. He meant so much to me and over the last 36 years never stopped being a vital part of my life regardless of the distance between us. We weren't blood related but he was family to us all the same. We will miss Poppy so much but the bond isn't broken by his passing, it was just too strong for that. - Kelly (Stambaugh) Hyde and family

I will always remember Dr. Pearlsteins kindness to me and my husband. He assisted in one of my surgeries and the nurses asked how I got a Cadillac and a Mercedes to do my surgery. He was the greatest!

To Mrs. Reva Pearlstine and other Bereaved Family,
It was the Ancient Egyptians who said that is we should keep the names of the deceased on the tongues of the living, then, it would seem as though they have not departed this good earth.
My husband Earl always says at our family funerals that, “We never ever have to think of our loved ones as passed!”
Prayers help to heal from grieving. Do grieve as long as is necessary. With the passage of some time, life once again will seem normal.
Respectfully,
Jacqueline N. Cotman and Family

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Dr.Pearlstein. I was fortunate to have him as my surgeon for two procedures, one minor one major. He was the most kind, gentle and skilled surgeon the medical community had to offer. I will never forget his bed side manner, his sincere concern for me, his most important patient. ( I really wasn’t but he made me feel like I was). So young….God must have needed a surgeon, well he got the finest!!! Condolences to his family.
Galen Stewart, Clearwater.
