My deepest sympathy to the Farhi family on the loss of Dr. Farhi. I was first acquainted with Dr. and Mrs. Farhi in the mid-sixties when he became my father's physician. Later I, and my mother, both worked in his office, and he treated my mother for the rest of her life. He was a fabulous doctor and friend. He and Mrs. Farhi were always kind to me and my family. My wish is that Mrs. Farhi and the rest of the family enjoy daily memories of this most wonderful man. He will be missed by many people who benefitted from having known him.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Mrs. Farhi and the entire Farhi family. Dr. Farhi had been the family physician to our entire family for many, many years. He was a great healer...caring, compassionate, genuine, always willing to take the time to listen and help. Memories of him will live on in the hearts of many. His work will not be forgotten.

My family and I were so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Farhi. My parents went to him for many years and I have been going to him for 40 years, since I was 12. He was truly an amazing Dr. with an amazing heart. He started out as our doctor but soon became more like family. He was by our side through many illnesses and surgeries. His bedside manner was like no other. Our hearts go out to Mrs. Farhi and his family. What an amazing man he was and a blessing to us and so many others.

Dr. Maurice Farhi was such a kind-hearted and thorough physician. He treated several members of my family; he was always so kind and generous to all of us. My mother and I worked for him for a few years; I have yet to have had a boss, which made us feel appreciated as he did. Doc always made sure to say “Thank you” at the end of every day, it gives you a wonderful feeling. Our sympathy goes out to all the people who were blessed to know him.

My family & I were so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Farhi, he was filled with compassion, which made him a wonderful doctor. He treated many members of my family. I worked for him for thirteen years; he truly made me feel as if I were a part of his family. I have the utmost respect for him, he was an inspiration to every person he meet. If we just had a piece of his spirit for human kindness, we would all be better people. I am blessed to have known him. He will be missed dearly with my deepest sympathy's.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Farhi's passing. He had been my parent's (Walter and Helen Johnson) doctor for many years. I know that had it not been for Dr. Farhi's practice of being thorough and compassionate my parents may not be with us today. For that I am forever grateful. My sincere condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Farhi. He was a wonderful man and doctor. We met Dr. Farhi 7 years ago (he was referred to me by another patient ~TOM GOREY, for my dad who was gravely ill) Dr. Farhi was the most compassionate and thorough doctor I have ever met and I know he will be missed by so many people. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the family at this time. God Bless you all at this sad time.
