A wonderful man and physician. He will be missed by many. My prayers are with his family.
Dear beloved uncle, you led an enthusiastic and highly proficient life and were extremely versatile with active intellect pouring, impressing everyone around. You devoted your life in human health and medicine and your interest in music is more than noteworthy.
May you rest in peace, improve yourself in science and music and live with loved ones in heaven. So enjoy it the most…
I’m sure our roads will cross and meet again some time on the path.

The world has lost a great man and excellent physician. Dr. Gurol had treated our family since 1978, including caring for my Grandmother and Father until their deaths. I cannot express the compassion and care he showed to them and our family during these times. Dr Gurol treated me from the age of 14 until late 30’S. I still compare all physicians to him and have yet to find one that is close to his knowledge and compassion.
I pray for the family and hope they have comfort in knowing that Dr. gurol provided so much care for so many that he is being rewarded with everlasting peace and happiness.
I will miss knowing that such a man of knowledge and dedication is no longer here. I do rest easy knowing that he is caring for my loved ones once again in Heaven. God Bless you Mrs. Gurol and and know you are in our prayers. Goodbye Dr. Gurol
