Dr. Wojciech “Wojtek”  Maria Bogdanowicz

As a new, young x-ray tech, he was a force to be reckoned with in the OR and I shuddered the entire way to the OR in hopes I would provide a superior Radiograph for him. As the years went by, I realized it was all show. He was a kind man as he sought the best for his patients and his young family . Dr. Bogie was an advocate for his patients and they and their care came above everything. I was also privileged to be lucky to see his interactions with his children and grandchildren in years gone by. They were the light of his life. Marta, Luke and Kasia, he loved you all very much. Cherish your memories and keep him in your heart forever. He is at long last with your Mom. Paula and Vince Wagner

Dear Loving Family of Wojtek, My heart skipped a beat when I read your father's/grandfather's name. My father loved your father and talked about him often. When Libby died my dad told me how much your dad loved her and how hard it was for him. I think it resonated with me greatly because my husband had died at the age of 29. I had always wanted to meet the great man my dad talked about. His life had some very sad times but mostly he had great loves with all of you and his fellow clinicians and patients. How fortunate you have all been to have been loved by him and now have all his wonderful stories with which to remember him. Jane Richard ( Dr Tom Geppert's daughter)

Dear Family, Your father saved my life in 1988. I had an aneurysm on the inside of my brain and he did a great job of operating, which took over six hours. I made a complete recovery thanks to that wonderful man. I have always remembered and will always remember him. Not only a great surgeon, but a kind and caring person. Sincerely, Jim Derr

My condolences to the extended Bogdanowicz family. As a new physician assistant 20 plus years ago, I had the opportunity to work with your father. I learned some important lessons from him. I hope you all find peace in your memories. Candace Weber

So many memories of working with this wonderful surgeon at St. Mary's Hospital Pediatric ICU and then in the Neurology Dept. at Dean Medical Center. I would never let him leave the ICU when he brought in a new patient until I had him read his written orders. Frequently after a long day or a late night surgery his orders were in Polish. And sometimes he couldn't even read them. I could go on forever. I'm sure his family has many such wonderful memories and will miss him very much. But trust me, he is in many hearts.
