I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Anaya's passing. I worked with Dr. Anaya for nearly 40 years at Alexian Brothers/Regional in the operating room. For many years I was in charge of vascular surgery in the OR, so I did numerous cases with husband/dad over the years. He was my favorite surgeon to work with! I also enjoyed going to several Oakland A's baseball games with him. I have since retired and moved to Southern California, but am glad I am able to travel back to San Jose and attend his Celebration of Life tomorrow.

I always enjoyed doing cases with Emil. He was certainly a talented surgeon, and he had a great sense of humor. It was simply a fun day. Much love and respect old friend

Dear Elizabeth and wonderful, beautiful Anaya women, 

What a loss! Every time I think about Emil It brings a smile to my face. We did enjoy some good personal and professional times together. He was an incomparable surgical assistant with me in hundreds of cases. He is a man that I would always welcome in my foxhole in battle.

I am sure that he will be terribly missed by all of you and all who loved him. In my book, he was always a gentle man. I can assure you that we will always think of  EMIL and smile.

LES ACOMPAÑO  EN TU PESAR

Un fuerte abrazo. Ramón y Anne

So sorry we will be out of state on our annual family vacation on June 14 and therefore cannot attend the Celebration of Life.
