Thank you Dr. Farrow for being such a cool guy and great teacher! I concentrated on Cytopathology in my own practice because of such great teachers as yourself. Thank you for being such a great mentor and for giving me the opportunity to train at such an outstanding institution. We will all miss you very much! RIP Dr. Farrow.

Dear Glen and Family,

We were so sorry to learn of George's passing.  As much as anyone with whom we had the privilege to work and play, George walked the talk when it comes to those things at the core of Mayo's patients first culture.  Despite his enormous gifts he was the model of humility, kindness and grace.  After his retirement one of his clinician admirers explained that George changed how they cared for their patients.  His legacy will live on through succeeding generations touched by his influence.

While he will be missed by many, we suspect none can compare to how deeply you grieve his absence.  Our deepest sympathies for your loss.

I worked with Dr.Farrow as a Fellow in GU Pathology at Mayo for one year. I have been a doctor for 46 years, and I want to let George's family know that of the hundreds or maybe thousands of doctors that I've worked with, George was the one I admired the most, and I doubt that my opinion will change. He was simply - "the best" - then and always

I was so very sorry to learn of Dr. Farrow's passing.  I worked with him for 35 years, 22 in surgical path. He was always fair and extremely good to his techs,I will always remember when I was unhappy in surg. path and he and Dr. Unni got me transferred to anatomical path. I credit him for saving my job. I remember his many stories about his life in the south.  I also remember when one of the boys went to the wrong car dealership and for some reason I told him to check the other dealer and there he was.  He was a special boss. Again, my deepest sympathy, Ann

I enjoyed having the opportunity to meet and spend some social time with Dr. Farrow.  I'm sure he will be deeply missed by his family, friends and colleagues.

I remember Dr. Farrow from my first days at Methodist pathology.  He was fun-loving and had so many stories that would set him off laughing at himself mostly.  So humble at all times.  He loved to teach and, although I was one of the medical secretaries, he would call me over and show me the cells that fascinated him through the scope.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family and I know Dr. Farrow will be sorely missed by all.  Ellie Gray

Dear Farrow family,

I had the honor and privilege to work Dr. Farrow as a resident and fellow in the Mayo Clinic Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology.  He was a true role-model of the Mayo Clinic physician: knowledgeable, composed, compassionate, and professional.  Dr. Farrow will remain an inspirational figure in the hearts of our staff and his spirit will live on through the way he showed us all to live the Mayo Clinic mission.

With heartfelt condolences on behalf of myself and my family and the Mayo Clinic DLMP.

Glen & Family ... My late husband, Tom, had a great admiration for George as a mentor, colleague and friend.  I am sure they are discussing many difficult cases in Heaven right now.  My prayers are with you during this very difficult time.  Pam Sebo

Dear Glen and family:  Our hearts ache with you and for you on the passing of George.  I will always be indebted and envious of his style of teaching as I tried to copy it when I taught residents at UW Madison for 20 years. I also remember fondly our path parties and picnics which you and George always managed to attend and encourage us and our spouses.  May Our Almighty Lord continue to bless all of you in the years ahead.  Fondly, Doug and Bev England

Dearest Aunt Getty, my beautiful Godmother, Charlie, Randy, Carrie and Al, Our prayers have been with you since we heard the news and you are always in our thoughts. May our Savior give you His peace that surpasses all understanding and may His face shine upon you. Uncle George was a prince among men and will be sorely missed. We love you all very much. Janie

Dear Glen, Alan and family,

     From northern Wisconsin come prayers and peace to you on the passing of your beloved husband and father.......may you find strength in all the treasured memories you have shared over the years.  We have so many fond memories and pictures of good old hockey days and fishing at the cabin!  God's blessings to all of you today and always.

To Mrs. Farrow, Charlie, Randy, Carrie and Alan,

I was saddened to hear the news of Dr. Farrow's passing.  He was a great man, a real gentleman, and I learned more from him than you could realize.  My prayers are with you.  Do not doubt for one second the great impact your dad had on me and many, many others.  He was so generous with his teaching, and had a knack for teaching simply and effortlessly (even to challenged students like myself).  Many of those lessons I have passed on to other trainees where I work, and credited him as the source.  Mostly though, I learned from him and the other "greats" about the spirit of professionalism, collegiality, industriousness, and a keen sense of humor to tie it all together.  They are rare traits indeed.  May you understand this well, and may it provide you some consolation in your loss.

Most sincerely,

Randy,

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your father.  My condolences to you and your family.

Dear Glen,

We are so sorry to learn of George’s passing.  He has always been such a prince of a person, and helped so many pathologists, including me, with advice for our careers and our lives in general.  What a gift he has been to so many.

Know that you are in our minds and hearts at this time.

With deepest sympathy and gratitude for your support and hospitality through the years,

Peter and Susie Banks

Dr. George Farrow is one of the best pathologists I have ever worked with.  In 1989 when I first came on staff I remember that George was the first one that brought me a GYN opinion case even though it was obvious he knew the answer and knew more about GYN pathology then I did.  He was simply trying to build up my expertise as he always did for those around him.  No matter how much work he had he would always greet you with a big smile when you came into his office and would give your problem his immediate attention.  He often had a story that emphasized a teaching point.  He has deeply influenced a generation of pathologists at Mayo Clinic, numerous trainees and pathologists around the world.  More importantly his unparalleled expertise impacted the lives of countless patients.  I would like to thank the family for sharing him for those of us who worked with him and loved him.  He is missed and will always be remembered.

I'm so sorry to hear about Dr. Farrows passing. He was always so nice to me as a child. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Please accept our deepest condolences, your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this healing time.  Over the years we remember the picture of Dr. Farrow with the surgical team and President Ronald Reagan,  we do not remember hearing about George being a pilot until after reading the obituary, asserting the fact about his talented and humble being.
