Dr Plotnik was my pediatrician. I have fond memories of his kindness. At that time, he would give us a lollipop if we were good. If the lollipop was broken , he called it a "mommy" lollipop. I am now 70 - 2024

I was saddened to hear of the loss of Dr. Plotnick. My children were patients of his since 1961 and they adored him. We lived across the street from his little office in the Rexall bldg. My daughter took her children to him and is still with his service. Her boys adored him, also. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Joanne Purvin, Wheeling, Illinois

You are all in my heart and my thoughts. With great love and sadness,
