Dr. Antony Attie, age 73, passed away on September 7, 2016 after fighting Parkinson's Disease for almost 15 years. Tony was educated in Strasbourg, France and Graduated from Luis Pasteur Medical School. He traveled to the United States and Completed a Residency in Urology at Wayne State University. In 2007, Tony was forced to retire from Urology due to the Parkinson's Disease.
To say He was a great Surgeon was an understatement. He was a great, kind and loving man. Adored by his patients, his staff, fellow Physicians and of course his family.
He never backed away in caring for his parents who he supported for 25 years and stepping in to help his brother and sisters when they needed it.
As his wife, I can not say how much I miss him and the sweetness of his personality and the genteelness of spirit. Tony was a wonderful part of my life and I was blessed to have him.
Always a heart to those less fortunate and tolerant to the ravages of a vicious disease. In his darkest hours as this disease advanced he would still manage to force a beautiful smile. He loved his 6 children and 6 grandchildren. The grace of Jesus sustained him in the hard times and God was merciful in the end.
