Was so sad to hear of Dr Einzig passing. he was my daughter’s cardiologist for many years and was instrumental in avoiding the need for her having a value replacement as a young child. We had the pleasure of even seeing him when he returned to WVU years later. Will be forever grateful for his care . Lori and Jenna Applegarth

Stan, it was such a pleasure working with you during your years in New Jersey. Your astute and concise assessment of echo-based cardiac anatomy and physiology in good part accounted for the remarkable success of the Newark/Beth Israel Pediatric Heart Program during its best years. Unique to you was that disarming smile in the face of the toughest clinical situations. You kept the team together. The team will miss you, your patients will miss you, and I will miss you. Enjoy, now, the greater life ahead.
Amen.
Bill

Stanley Einzig: superior echocardiographer, advanced physiologist, humble gentleman, always able to carry a precise and meaningful discussion related to patient care. Although my passion is cardiac catheterization and Stan only trusted echo images, it was such a joy to have lengthy discussions with him about anatomy and pathophysiology. So, it was very disappointing when Stan left New Jersey and headed back to West Virginia. I still miss those passionate discussions we had. No one will ever replace Stan. Although he is gone, Nancy, I was so happy to hear from you yesterday that in the latter part of his career, Stan was "able to be Stan".
Nancy may his memory live with you, your Family, and with us his extended family.
Take care.

Sending love and support to Nancy, Sam and Simon + family + friends.....A quiet and gentle soul with a tremendous impact.
We will always remember Stan with his cigar and bourbon on the back porch! Stan slipping away from dinner or wine group so he could slip into bed by 8pm! Stan talking with Jonas and Claire about their interests in medical and health related industries.
Love always, Lisa Chenofsky Singer, Tom, Jonas & Claire Singer

I first met Stan while a fellow at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Little did I know that we would one day be colleagues working together for 12 years! It was to my benefit that this was the case because Stan was the hardest working and my most trusted imaging provider. Speaking to him always made me smile. It was no secret that as proficient as he was at reading echocardiograms, Stan struggled with computer technology! He would come to me and say "John, my computer is broken." I began making him say "It's not the computer its me" before asking for computer help. With a sly smile, he conceded but I was glad to help him work through emails or complete departmental administrative requirements. I miss running into him as he walked between his office and the echo lab, where he would always greet me with a smile and a "Hello young man." A great cardiologist, scientist and person, Stan will live forever in my heart.

I had the honor and privilege of working with Stan as a colleague for several years as junior faculty in Pediatric Cardiology at WVU from 2012-2018. We shared lots of laughs working in adjacent work stations in the echo lab, as well as occasionally riding together to the Beckley outreach clinic, but more significantly I learned a tremendous amount from his mentorship. He is a legend in Pediatric Cardiology and echocardiography. During our time working together, his vision was relatively poor, such that he did not drive anymore, yet he still managed to read pediatric echo’s better than most of us who could see perfectly fine. As a young Pediatric Cardiologist, I was trained to focus my attention on the heart and blood vessels arising from and entering the heart, yet Stan, always the old school cardiologist, would not infrequently diagnose non-cardiac problems by doing a “Stan-ogram”, in which he would visualize pretty much anything from head to toe on an echocardiogram that was intended to focus on the heart. Our relationship was mutually beneficial over the years, as I attribute a great deal of my echo knowledge to Stan, and I think he would likely not have survived the transition to electronic medical records and authoring echo reports electronically without my assistance, as he was not a fan of the modernization of technology associated with our field. I truly valued our friendship. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on in all of us who have had the honor and privilege of having him in our lives, both professionally and personally. We extend our deepest condolences to Nancy and the family.

When I met Stan 30 + years ago he was a middle aged transplant from Minnesota that loved peanut M and M's and smoked three packs of menthol cigarettes (either Kools or Salems, I can't remember which) a day and my new boss. This began a friendship that not only has survived 3 decades but like good bourbon has aged to top shelf status. It is obvious to everyone that knows Stan that he is one of the smartest people that God ever put breath in but many may not know how funny he is. There are so many stories that I could tell that are not appropriate for this forum but I will push the envelope and tell one of my favorites.
As mentioned above Stan enjoyed cigarettes and would frequently smoke while reading echos in a room that was about twenty feet from the cath lab. There were days when you could tell if Stan was the reader by seeing smoke coming under the door into the hallway. Needless to say on more than one occasion Stan was warned and fussed at about the smoke. In early 1993 or 1994, after the New Year break I walked into the reading room. Stan was sitting there with a 2 pound bag of peanut M and M's and he told me he was going to quit smoking. I said that's great how are you doing. He pulled up his shirt sleeve and showed me a nicotine patch and said so far so good. I came back an hour or so later and asked how it was going and he pulled up his other sleeve and showed me a second patch. A couple hours later I walked into the room and he had a patch in the middle of his forehead. Before I could ask he lit a cigarette. I am happy to say that although this did not work he did quit smoking cigarettes a few years later.
Stan was a quiet giant in pediatric cardiology. Not only was he a pioneer in pediatric echocardiology he was the very best that I have worked with. He also had the most in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology of congenital heart disease that I have known. With that said he also excelled in his love for children and their families. His patients loved him and frequently ask about him. He was always straight forward and honest with the families but delivered even the worst news with compassion and encouragement.
Finally, Stan was a great friend to me, all that worked with him, his patients and their families, and the sate of West Virginia. He will be missed
Stan, You and Bill turn up a bourbon and scotch for me
