Miles Linsky Obituary

Linsky Family,
My wife and I saw Miles for several years. We are in shock to hear of his passing. We just learned of this in late June and are deeply saddened. He was a wonderful man with a caring smile and warm heart. Cherish his memory.

Dr. Linsky helped me immeasurably over many years. I was heartbroken when he became too ill to continue our sessions and am so again to know he is gone. My prayers are with his boys, who I know meant more to him than anything. I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss of your mother before him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of dr Linskys death. I seen him briefly when I took my mother in for sessions. He was a kind man and spoke produly of his sons. I came to know him right before his wifes death. He was so sadddened by her death. I only knew him for a few months but will never forget him.

To the Linsky family,
I am deeply saddened and want to express my sincere condolences. However, I also want to say how how much Dr. Linsky meant to me. I will always remember him as a thoughtful, caring and compassionate man who made me laugh with his quirky humor. He was always generous with his snacks and almonds, which I will always associate with him. He got me through some difficult times, and I will miss him a great deal. He kept pictures of his sons in his office, and he talked about them with love and pride. I didn't know he was ill, so I didn't have the chance to say good-bye. Please know that I am truly sorry for your loss, and I grieve with you.

To All Who Loved Miles,
I am overwhelmed and shocked with the news of Miles' death. I can't even begin to describe my feelings and thoughts about what an amazing man he was. Witty, silly, odd sense of humor, intelligent, passionate about his family and his work, devoted friend, always there for others, trustworthy, direct, honest, reliable, loving, kind, and compassionate are some of the ways I will always remember him. To Miles parents, brothers and sons, my heart goes out to all of you. Miles was young at heart, vivacious, loved life and most of all, loved all of you so much and made this known often with joy and pride.

To the family of Dr. Miles Linsky:
I too, was a long time patient of Dr. Linsky. I would go in and out of therapy for stress. Dr. Linsky
also understood because of finances, I'd have to stop therapy for awhile, but I always came back to his smiling face and willingness to help. Ironically today October 30th, I stopped by his office to once again set up an appointment because the stress had gotten unbearable. I needed a therapist, but I also needed the friend he had become. I am still in shock and feel a deep loss about hearing of his passing. The last thing I remember him saying to me years ago, was that life was short, he made mention that he would be very sad, if I ever came to him and told him I was gravely ill. The reason??
because he wanted me to live a full, happy life. Dr. Linsky, because of you, today was a rude awakening that life is short. I will get better this time not only for myself but to pay you back for all the encouragement you gave me over the years. I will not disappoint you. May you rest in peace. And thanks for always being there for me when I needed someone.

I was so shocked to hear about the passing of Dr. Linsky. I was a patient many years ago and have sent many people to him, who also loved him. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Linsky family,and everyone who was touched by Miles and his beautiful spirit.I was a patient of his for many years,and let me say that his loss is deep to me,for he helped me in so many bad times. Without Miles' help,I would have ended up in prison and even worse.He was a true professional,but also knew how to be a real person,also. In February,2006,I returned to seeing him after a three year break,and knew he was very sick,and i was amazed at his tenacity and desire to be there for his clients until he absolutely could not.I was able to tell him how much I appreciated him through phone calls,letters and cards...and also how sad and helpless i felt about his illness.We shared a goofy sense of humor that i will always treasure,and the world will not be the same without him.I was truly blessed to have known Miles Linsky.He will always be in my heart and soul.May God's grace be with all of us in this difficult time. Love to all of you.

Dear Linsky Family, I read with shock and sadness that Miles had died. I enjoyed many fun times and cherished a beautiful friendship with him very many years ago as we had dated for a while in our early or mid-twenties. I had a very high regard of Miles and treasure the memories of many fun dates with a true gentleman with a fantastic intellect and sense of humor. We lost touch with each other after I moved overseas for a time. But after all these years, I can still remember his beautiful face, engaging smile, genuine wit, and a few deep conversations. He was working at Miles Square at the time. I was lucky he touched my life for a brief moment. I am happy that he found true love, got married and had children. He really deserved it and I hope that you take comfort in the fullness of his life and know that he shared his deep faith with those whose lives he touched. He stood tall among men. I will always pray for him. Sincerely, Jamie Dolan Lyon

To the family of Miles Linsky:
My condolences on your loss. I've known Miles as one of his patients. While I was recently informed that he was not feeling well, I never realized the extent of his illness. I regret that I never had a chance to thank him for "listening" over the years or to let him know that despite some of our differences he really made a difference in my life. I will feel his loss greatly as I've never met anyone who was quite so compassionate. I just wish that I had had a chance to tell him. And to his sons: your father talked a great deal about you both with great pride and love. I am sorry about your loss, and you both are in my prayers.

Dear Aunt Fay and Uncle Sid and Family.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of Miles. I know he will be deeply missed and will be in my memories.

Dear Aunt Fay and Uncle Sid,
I was so sorry to hear about Miles. So soon after Daddy, I will carry him in my heart
Thinking of you

Dear Linsky Family,
I was shocked this evening to see Dr. Linsky's name in the obituaries, and I just wanted to tell you that I met Dr. Linsky in 2003 during a very rough period in my life, depressed and suicidal. Without his help in many months of therapy, I probably would not be here. He was kind, understanding, and just an all-around nice person and I learned a great many things from him that helped me get through it all. I am sad for your loss and will never forget what he did for me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Elliot,
I'm sorry to learn of the loss of your brother. It sounds like a huge loss for so many others. Please accept my condolences,
Karen Kass

Our deepest condolences to the entire Linsky family. Miles was a great neighbor and great friend. I will miss our walks.

To the entire Linsky family. I knew Miles from his counseling service for the past 13 years. I always looked forward to my visits with him. I always sent him cards when I went on trips. His boys are so lucky to have had a father like Miles. I wil always have great memories of Miles and the help he gave me will carry on for eternity.

My deepest condolences to Mr. and Mrs. Linsky, Cary, Elliott, Brent and Aaron on your loss. Miles was always a good friend and a good person.

I send my condolences. As long time best friend of Brent, I've had the privilege to share many wonderful memories with Miles. Sunday Bears games were amongst the finest, his intensity always made me laugh. Miles was a great man, with his fine characteristics shining bright in both Brent and Aaron. As the times pass I will continue to be here beside you helping in any possible away. I love you all

Miles was a wonderful man, with so much love for his family, friends, and cared so much for his clients. I knew he really cared about me and my problems when I was going through a difficult time in my life. He was one of a few people I knew who was a totally kind man in so many ways. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Sincere condolences to Elliot and the entire family from Marillyn Tallman, Frances Peshkin, Hetty de Leeuwe and the entire staff at Chicago Action for Jews in the former Soviet Union.

My memories of Miles date back to our working together in 1982. He was a wonderfully compassionate man. I cherish his acts of kindness and understanding. Miles demonstrated such empathy and wisdom in dealing with patients. As a nurse, I appreciated his thoughts and actions with each person. I will always remember this man!

Dear Aaron and Brent,

I am so sorry about the loss of your father. I was one of his patients and had been seeing him regularly.I was able to thank him in a phone conversation in the past several weeks for all that he had done for me. He helped me over the past 7 years deal with my Obssessive Compulsive Disorder and also the death of my husband four years ago.He was a very compassionate and understanding man. May you cherish the good memories you have of both your mother and father. I know he was very proud of both of you. May God wrap His arms about you and comfort you. I am the cookie lady that sent cookies home with him on Fridays. He will be greatly missed.
A gratefull patient
