Where is he?
Look up to the sky his warmth is shining down on you. You can see him flying with the birds and the butterflies. His reflection is in the water, swimming with the fish, hiding in the weeds, mischievously waiting for the next shiny lure.
He is everywhere, memories bring him home to you.
He is a spark escaping from the campfire, becoming a star. Filling up your heart, setting your mind free,
to dream again of a perfect night sky of his stars together forever.

Hello
My name is Jim Halliday and I have read about your husband and father in the media.
I did not know him but I offer my condolences and thoughts about being prescribed medications that harm rather than help. Genomic Testing is important and should be a tenet of Canadian Healthcare.
I was prescribed an inappropriate medication that caused seizures and permanent disabilities. It is called Seratonin Syndrome which is life threatening.
I have been in contact with Dr. Bruce Carleton and am actively pursuing media outlets to bring serious attention to this cause.
I thought hard about sending this message on this portal but could not figure out how to contact you.
Please excuse me if it was inappropriate.
My phone number is 519-373-1190

Hi, I am a Dentist from Calgary but currentlyin NY. I deeply sympathize with your loss. I lost my younger and only brother, Dr Manu Dua to Oral Cancer. He was 34 and a Dentist practicing in Calgary. In his last days he wrote Life Interrupted Dr Dua’s Survival Guide ( on Amazon) knowing his days were limited. For his work he won the South Asian Inspirational Award. Like Anil Manu was gifted, brilliant and full of life and ironically having the cancer he was meant to diagnose just like Anil. As a family we know your pain. No parent should have no cremate their child. It's against law of nature. A sibling is a friend for life that you build memories with. A keeper of the past and a part of a future. You take that for granted. Sending my deepest sympathies. Know you aren't alone. If you'd like to reach out or learn more about the Book. Parulduamakkar.com/book
Wishing peace for Anil's soul and your family

Unfortunately Anil lost his way near the end of his life and disgraced his family for pathetic reasons. He was always true to his wife and children- not his pathetic Boo that he continuously ridiculed and despised her and her children - sorry that’s after 38 years of love he died within two years of this pathetic Tiffany Pizioli!

I am deeply saddened to learn of Monty's passing (through Dal Alumni). This is a great shock. I knew Anil during the summer of 1989 when he was still an engineering student and we each worked a summer together in Victoria, BC. Monty was a LOT of fun, and had a real zest for life and he became a very memorable character, even though we lost touch as we each went our ways and he entered medicine. My deepest condolences to the family and all those who appreciated him and his great contributions to our wellbeing.

I just found out about the passing of Dr. Kapoor. I am incredibly saddened . He was an amazing doctor and character who will be greatly missed. He saved my life. So many doctors passed me off befuddled and not knowing what was wrong with me, not Dr. Kapoor. He didn’t stop. He eventually had to remove my left kidney and he gave me my life back. Such a kind man. My last appointment with him he hugged me and said “I hope I never see you again” (he told me if he did that meant I would be sick again and he never wanted that to happen again) He has never been and never will be forgotten for what he did for me.

I am very sorry to hear about Dr. Kapoor's passing. It hurts my heart to hear that this wonderful man was taken from us - far too soon.
Dr. Kapoor saved my life nearly 10 years ago. I looked forward to seeing him at our follow up appointments. He had such a beautiful soul and truly cared for his patients. And always was so good natured! We had so many laughs together.
On the 5th year anniversary of my nephrectomy, I gave him a small "kitschy" gift - a kidney-shaped rock that I painted with a shooting star on it - to symbolize the rock star that he truly was. At our last appointment he thanked me again for it - nearly 3 years after I gave it to him, and he still remembered it! What an incredible man.
To his family and friends - please accept my heartfelt condolences for this terrible loss. Wishing you peace and comfort at this sorrowful time. He will be missed dearly by many. Rest in peace, sweet man, our Rock Star.

TO OUR FRIEND ANIL KAPOOR:
About 4 years ago, when it was important for you to create a new loving and safe home for yourself, Tiffany and your sons, I was honoured to have done my small part in giving you orange walls, a touch of velvet and perhaps way too many toss cushions! However, you and Tiffany added the essential ingredients to this mix which many of us admired: True Love & Respect, Friendship & Warmth, Intimacy & Trust, Fun & Happiness.
Bravo to both of you ‘cause a good home is where the heart is and you both made that happen.
Miss you,

He often commented about my love of cricket, which told me I was not just an OHIP number. I was to have seen him February 20th, and now I'm devastated to know why my appointment was cancelled.

Q: How did you meet Anil?
A: I met Dr. Kapoor at the annual meeting held by the Kidney Cancer Research Network of Canada (KCRNC) where he was chair for a number of years. He was well-respected by many of his colleagues across Canada and internationally.
He was always enthusiastic about being involved in exercise trials for kidney cancer patients. He was a supportive mentor to junior faculty members like myself and was always willing to give a helping hand whenever he could.
This is a great loss to the academic and medical community. My sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends. He will be missed.

Dr. Kapoor saved my husband Wayne's life, not once but twice!! Today we got devastating and life altering news. The news came by a phone call from Dr. K's secretary to say Wayne's Mar 26th appt would be cancelled as he had unfortunately passed away. Such a huge shock as we were leaving to Juravinski to meet his colleauge Dr. T to find out how the radiation treatments for PC had turned out. Our meeting was sad ( all sad about his life gone too soon) and then jubilant as W is in remission. Wayne would have loved to have shaken his hand to say " Amen" and Thank-You!! on March 26th!! Dr. Kapoor performed one kidney cancer removal 6 years ago. When we met him for first time I asked why a handsome doctor like him wasn't wearing a wedding band ( he had mentioned wife and two boys). He ripped out a gold necklace with the gold wedding band hanging on it and said " My wife said, Anil, you've lost it 3 times, put it on a chain! He jokingly said he left one in a man's stomach during surgery!! Fast forward to pandemic times, We are sitting for awhile in an office waiting to see Dr. K to discuss WC PSA levels which had gotten a bit higher than past 5 years.This man comes walking in and I said " Who are you?", We're here to see Dr. Kapoor. "" I am he," he said! He looked fabulous, dropped weight, longer silvery hair, new glasses and and jeans and a pep in his step. He suggested W. see his colleauge for another opinion. Dr. T W . took his lead, did the radiation and it worked!!!! Dr. Kapoor was a brilliant surgeon ( when prepping for W's surgery and before anaesthetic set in he jokingly said to intern, Which kidney are we removing again?! He was fun, professional, saucy, eager to listen and care for us as a couple and was never wrong in his assessments. Wayne came first in a 10K run in Phoeniz AZ. Anil said, Go for it, I took out a kidney, not a lung, but no hockey!! We pray for his children and family and all the people he has healed and touched with his God-given talents. May his sons follow in their grandfather's and father's medical and people abilities. Libby Campbell

I am a former patient of Dr. Kapoor. I am deeply saddened to read the news of his passing. Although I only met with him on 4 occasions, he has left a footprint in my heart and in my mind. My family and I are Very grateful that I had the chance to be Dr. Kapoor’s patient. He successfully performed a partial nephrectomy located dangerously close to renal artery. He was not only an amazing surgeon but clearly a very kind, compassionate and positive human being. Even my parents and partner are saddened by the news as they recall Dr. Kapoor coming out after my surgery to speak with them in such a compassionate manner. The medical Community has lost a brilliant man and a very kind soul. Rest in peace Dr. Kapoor. I will forever remember you, until we meet again. .- Sandra Cocco, Cambridge , Ontario

I am still devastated by the loss of a good friend and professional colleague. Anil was truly one of a kind, having expertise that was sought after as a uro-oncologist but also as a great communicator. He was one of the first urologists who helped push the field forward in getting others to understand the subtleties and complexities in the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. He did this while being one hell of a funny guy! Whenever Anil was going to chair or moderate a session in a scientific meeting, we knew we would all learn a lot AND be entertained! He had a gift, and it was a privilege seeing him in action for over 20 years. He contributed so much to Canadian Urology in his multiple roles with the CUA, the Journal, the CUA Foundation, Kidney Cancer Canada, his institution and much, much more. Beyond all his jokes and his wit, he was simply a great guy that was sensitive and very kind. This is a very sad time. I will miss him deeply, as I know many others will as well.
With immense respect and fond memories, please RIP my friend

Dr. Anil Kapoor’s passing has brought much sadness to me. It has been more than twenty years since I first started communicating with him in a professional capacity. I worked at R.M.A., a billing office, and processed his medical billing which he did meticulously.
During those years, we exchanged many telephone calls and emails. I remember one particular telephone conversation I had with Dr. Kapoor where he told me about the birth of his son. He was so ecstatic to be a first time father. It’s a conversation I’ll never forget. Approximately eight years ago, I emailed Dr. Kapoor regarding a billing query, and mentioned that it was my last day of work as I was retiring. I received a beautiful voicemail message from him that touched my heart.
Some time ago, I was referred to Dr. Kapoor for medical reasons. Now I saw how compassionate and caring he was from a patient’s point of view. Dr. Kapoor was a dedicated specialist and surgeon who always had his patients’ best interests in mind. Later, I attended a few medical seminars which Dr. Kapoor hosted at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton. I was able to see how intelligent, knowledgeable, skilled and humorous he was.
I will be forever grateful to Dr. Kapoor for what he has done for me. We as a community have lost someone special who went over and above the call of duty.
Rest in peace, Dr. Kapoor.

I met Anil Kapoor as a medical student interested in urology. I had never met anyone with so much talent, kindness and love of his craft. I lost touch with Anil over the years but will always remember him for his smile and zest for life. Urology lost one of its shining stars way too soon. He will be missed but not forgotten.
Rest in peace Dr Kapoor. I hope that I can pay it forward in honor of you.

I am still devastated by the loss of a good friend and professional colleague. Anil was truly one of a kind, having expertise that was sought after as a uro-oncologist but also as a great communicator. He was one of the first urologists who helped push the field forward in getting others to understand the subtleties and complexities in the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. He did this while being one hell of a funny guy! Whenever Anil was going to chair or moderate a session in a scientific meeting, we knew we would all learn a lot AND be entertained! He had a gift, and it was a privilege seeing him in action for over 20 years. He contributed so much to Canadian Urology in his multiple roles with the CUA, the Journal, the CUA Foundation, Kidney Cancer Canada, his institution and much, much more. Beyond all his jokes and his wit, he was simply a great guy that was sensitive and very kind. This is a very sad time. I will miss him deeply, as I know many others will as well.
With immense respect and fond memories, please RIP my friend

A consummate character, brilliant trail blazer, bright personality, and someone who always made you feel warm and welcomed. Anil will be a sorely missed colleague by everyone in our region, and in borders far beyond.
His achievements were vast in clinical and academic domains - these served to inspire me and many of us who considered Anil a mentor.
I will particularly miss his echoing laugh - one of the many traits of a gregarious and "larger than life" friend.
We pray that Anil may rest in eternal peace. To his family and loved ones: our prayers as well to you all for strength at this time. We will never forget him.

Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Anil?
A: A true gentlemen with a sharp wit and a big heart. A great friend that was easy to talk with who was always ready to help with advice or his presence all while bringing joy and light into any room he walked into. I will miss him dearly, his humour, his antics, his jokes, his sarcasm, his sense of style, all of him.
He was a class act in the true sense of the term with his family, education, accomplishments, reputation and most importantly him being him.
Monty was the Colour of Life.

When I got diagnosed with kidney cancer in October of 2019 and referred to Dr. Kapoor, upon meeting him I felt like I had won the lottery. From 1st appointment, I felt like I could not be in better hands than with him. His manner, character, expertise, caring way, sense of humor and so much more was just amazing. He made me feel like my surgery (left radical nephrectomy along with adrenal gland) was just as easy as cutting a piece of cake and to me he was right. When I heard of his passing, I was in shock and disbelief. My heart goes out to his beautiful wife and sons and all his family, friends and colleagues. A piece of your heart will always be with me Dr. Kapoor. I will never forget you!

It's not every day you have the opportunity to work with a brilliant surgeon. I was privileged to have worked three years as a summer research student with his clinical research team starting in 2016. Dr.Kapoor always found ways to challenge us outside of the research office, one of which was giving us opportunities to shadow in clinic and the OR. He was not only our manager but a mentor. He knew how to push us out of our comfort zone as undergraduate students to make us confident and successful individuals. I was witness to how he treated his patients with immense care and intent.
Dr.Kapoor always had a sense of humour with his team. I will never forget how he would always find a way to make us laugh despite having the busiest day/night ahead.
At the time of applying for my Masters Program in Health Informatics at UofT, I approached Dr. Kapoor to be one of my referrals and he did so on time inspite of his very busy schedule. Thank you Dr. Kapoor for the opportunities and believing in us. Thank you for the words of encouragement and mentorship especially during moments of doubt. We all will miss you and it’s hard to digest that we will not have the chance to meet here in this world but definitely will see your smile on the other side one day. May your soul Rest In Peace Dr. Kapoor.
My family’s thoughts and prayers go out to Dr. Kapoor's family and everyone he has touched.

Our loved ones achieve immortality by staying alive in our memories. Anil was a breath of fresh air in the Canadian Urology community--irreverent, energetic, insightful, and infectiously funny. Through thick and thin, Anil always had a smile and a quip. He was a natural leader, and rapidly rose to the upper reaches of Canadian academic urology. He made a major contribution in the area of kidney cancer, and was recognized internationally as a leader in the field.
I was very shocked and saddened by his recent diagnosis and subsequent rapid demise. This is a terrible loss to his family, his friends, and his colleagues in Canada and around the world. We will never forget him. My deepest condolences to his family.

I knew Anil through work--though it was apparent that we had some uncanny connection via our common background in engineering. He facilitated work that dared to shine some light into a few darker corners and was a unique combination of urology, pathology and information technology. His passing is a significant loss and difficult to process-especially as he personally lifted a few mountains for me. It was amazing to know him and work with him.

Collaborating with Dr. Kapoor was and will always be a highlight of my career due to his kindness, generosity, and fun nature. He made Facebook live streaming a kidney transplant surgery to millions of people a breeze. He was filled with joy answering the smart and playful questions that came from young students in the community - expertly making jokes while giving each question the respect it deserved.
I’m so sorry he is no longer with us. His legacy is remarkable and will live on in so many ways - most especially through the many lives he’s touched. I find myself thinking most of his sons as my father passed away suddenly at the same age as Dr. Kapoor and it was incredibly hard. I hope there is some comfort in the many beautiful stories and memories of him.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Kapoor’s passing. We remember him as a prolific researcher who led numerous clinical trials and other studies at St. Joe’s. Dr. Kapoor was the inaugural director of the Urologic Cancer Centre for Research & Innovation, a research centre that was funded largely by his grateful patients.
While accomplished in his career and academia, he was nevertheless always down to earth and approachable – he always made people feel comfortable. We will miss his sense of humour that he brought to our events (such as when he played our life-size Operation game and beat everyone else!), meetings, public lectures, and in his efforts to fundraise in support of cancer research.
Dr. Anil Kapoor was a man whose life had such a broad impact across our community. We take solace in the sheer number of thankful patients who have left heartfelt messages.
Anil, we will never forget you.

I first met Anil in 2004 at the JCC when I was assigned as the nurse to coordinate renal cancer clinical trials. I quickly saw how much the patients loved him and how he always made them smile. He was dedicated to kidney cancer research and as a result contributed to the advancement of kidney cancer treatment. He always recognized the clinical trial staff during his presentations/talks ensuring all the individuals he worked with were mentioned. He even mentioned my contributions as the coordinator a few months ago at a presentation of a negative clinical trial. During the 10-15 years as the coordinator working with Anil I have so memories. Rest in peace my friend.

I worked with Anil since I joined St. Joseph Healthcare Hamilton in 2005. Since I knew him, he was always pleasant and skilled and confident surgeon. Always tried to create a fun relaxing atmosphere in the OR. We had the easy days and the tough days together in the OR, one of the difficult cases that we always joked around it is a patient was having his kidney out and he had a thrombus in the inferior Vena Cava and we encountered a lot of bleeding so Dr. Kapoor put his finger in the hole in the inferior vena Cava to stop the bleeding and this was very successful move and patient did well, se often when we worked together he says "case is going well Dr. Bolis my finger is not in the Cava". I had the honor to be involved in his management in the last month of his life. I will miss him so much and I will always remember him as a very nice, pleasant friend and a skilled colleague.

I was deeply saddened to hear the passing of Anil. We first met as residents in Urology at the University if Manitoba where I was his senior. I remember how he started at first, new and eager to learn. Always had a lively air about him no matter how busy or exhausted we were. I saw him progress to fellowship at Cleveland Clinic where I attended only the year prior. Quickly, he won the hearts of everyone and I quickly became “Nic who?”. He continued on to his professional career and became dominant in world of urology with his minimally invasive skills and cancer knowledge that he gained on his own. We would always meet at meetings and professional organizations and I witnessed the great leader he became. Despite all that, when we got together, it was always just Anil and Nic, just like we were in the beginning, the young residents in the wards of the Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg, having fun navigating the world of family, urology and life. You will be missed my friend.

Dr. K,
I am devastated, I am lost, and I have shed many tears.
You were one of the first faculty members I met during my urology elective. Our friendship and mentoring relationship began immediately. In my training, you were always a call away and just upstairs when I got into trouble in the OR. Until now, you were still just a call away and I know you are still going to be just upstairs.
You were a catalyst to my career success. Thank you for showing me the way and taking me under your wing. Thank you for always being in my corner. Thank you for pushing and challenging me to go outside my comfort zone. Thank you for not telling me what to do but finding ways to bring out the best in me. We don’t ever say goodbye to a great mentor - like many others before and after me, your important conversations and teachings that slip into our heads will never leave. I am not only grieving the great memories and moments that we’ve had but also all the lessons you haven’t taught yet. I have been fortunate to have been touched by your wisdom and grace which will never pass. There is not a day that goes by as I work on my craft, that I am not applying your teachings.
I speak on behalf of your mentees and colleagues and give you our heartfelt thanks. You have motivated us, enabled us, supported us, and promoted our personal growth and professional development. You have recognized our individual potential and helped us reach that potential and beyond. We all have similar stories to share about how you have personally advanced our careers and continue to do so. We collectively represent your legacy.
Most importantly, I will remember you for your friendship. Thank you for all the laughs. Thank you for all the fun both in and out of the operating room. Thank you for your authenticity. Thank you for always caring. The ridiculous stories and great times we shared will always make me smile. You were always the life of the party and lit up every room.
To my mentor, trusted friend and colleague, role model, advisor, advocate, masterful clinician, dedicated physician, brilliant surgeon, program director, my “work dad” and visionary leader, you will be missed dearly – until we meet again.
Rest in Peace.

Sharing the incident (pic attached) in cystoscopy unit when the nurse asked you few times to wear a hat (all in fun) and you wore a weird hat and pledged that you'll wear surgical hat 24×7.
You have been a great support and mentor to me... a true one. You have helped so many learners and like them my dream couldn't have been possible without you. Thanks for being there.

It is with great personal sorrow I learn of the passing of Dr. Anil Kapoor.
Anil and I worked closely together for over 5 years in his capacity as the Chair of the Kidney Cancer Research Network of Canada. It was a role he took great pride in holding. I will cherish the big memories like the conferences he spoke at, but even more so, the smaller memories like the chats in the office and the encouraging text messages.
Anil had the ability to be your boss, your mentor and your friend all at the same time. He was very personable and we quickly clicked. His tireless dedication to advancing his field and bettering the lives of his patients was really admirable and something I feel blessed to have witnessed first hand. I, and many others, quickly understood why he was such a giant in his field. Working with him he would strive for all of us to do more but always put his own words into action and only ask of others what he would ask of himself and then some. His dedication to patients, including organizations like Kidney Cancer Canada, will have impact for years to come. He often shared with me his great respect and admiration for his colleagues coast to coast and internationally, which just made you appreciate him that much more. He saw the good in everyone and was always cheering you on.
Lastly, Anil's love of his family and friends, most of all his sons, was beautiful and really at the core who he was.
Akshay and Jeevan, Tiffany, family and friends - My heart goes out to you all. He was a special man and his memory and impact will live on.
Anil - I can't thank you enough for your kindness, generosity of time and just overall positive impact in my life. I feel robbed of many more years, but I will find solace in cherishing all the time we did have together.
Sincerely,
Ranjena Maloni

I work along side of Anil at St Joe's. I like to joke with him and call him Jafar from Aladdin. If you knew him you know he could be sarcastic and rough on you but always in jest. In the last couple of years he had difficulties that he was dealing with, but he was always smiling and making jokes. I asking him one day how's is going and he flipped off an answer, I then asked him No, how are you doing? We had a long conversation in the cysto area of St Joe's and he opened up to me about his feelings. We talked about surgeries that didn't go as planned, we talked about how proud he was of his family and his boys. We talked about a lot of things in 20 minutes and after I gained a new appreciation of a man who always kept a happy smile but was a much deeper and thoughtful man than he ever let anyone know about. He cared for his friends, his coworkers and mostly about his patients. I really miss him, there are not many like him and his family should be very proud of him. Sorry to say goodbye my friend, you were special.

I will miss your silly jokes, wondering what you got everyday for lunch, and you teasing me in the clinic. Thanks for always being funny when we needed it the most. We will miss you, we already do, big time in the MIU!

Dr. Kapoor,
We met in the spring of 2016. I was interviewing for a summer research position during my first year of undergraduate studies at McMaster. I was running late, and to my relief, you were also running late (as I later learned was expected). I sat in the waiting room among other students, clutching my rather thin CV, and silently compared myself with the other students, most of them years ahead of me, and judging from their hefty looking CVs, more experienced. For some odd reason, you decided to give me a chance at the job.
Although I never admitted this to you, I was initially quite disappointed the position was in clinical research. That disappointment quickly turned into a passion for clinical research that inspired me to become a physician scientist. Three years flew by, and you became my mentor, thesis supervisor, and role model.
I distinctly recall the very first time we discussed my first research project on renal cell carcinoma among Indigenous Canadians. As I droned on about ways to improve our data collection and statistical tests, you turned to me and said “You know, you leave no stone unturned”. To this day, those words have guided me through times where I felt lost or unsure of when an analysis does not go as planned.
Contrary to the apprehensive girl 7 years ago, you made me feel heard, valued, and above all, capable of achieving my goals. You always looked out for my best interest. You celebrated my successes and supported me through my failures. You were always the first to know about each of my three rejections to medical school and eventually, the life-changing acceptance last year.
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou is famously quoted for this eloquent concept of the futility of our words. Rather, it is the emotional underpinning of those words impressed on us that stand the test of time. Dr. Kapoor, your words from the first conversation we had to the last has had a tremendous impact on my life, and has shaped who I am today. I was truly very fortunate to witness your dedication to excellence as a surgeon in the OR and the patience and kindness you offer your patients in the clinic.
While I will miss your laughter echoing down the hallways, I promise that I will do something every single day that I know will bring out that same robust laughter.
Thank you for your mentorship, service, and for embodying the qualities of the future physician I aspire to be.

Dear Dr. Kapoor,
I met you in April of 2008 in the Operating Room at St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton.
How quickly life can change from one day to the next. Here today, gone tomorrow. How precious life is.
Had I known the last time I worked with you, would be the last time I ever saw you, I would have hugged you longer, smiled wider and joked harder.
In my career in the Operating Room, I learned so much from you. You taught me even more. Having worked with you over the years in the OR and clinic, I am a better nurse.
It mean't so much to me that after a difficult case, you would not let me walk by you without you patting me on the shoulder, looking me in the eyes and thanking me, saying I did a great job. Thank you for that. I needed it.
Upon seeing you walking down the hall from a distance, I would quickly have to figure out which inside joke I would spring on you, knowing that you had the most brilliant response ready no matter which joke I said to you upon passing by.
Everytime I saw you with pizza or you saw me with pizza, we would bug each other about "Where's my pizza? Didn't you buy me some pizza?!".
You cared about people's wellbeing and knew when something was up with someone. If I came to work and wasn't myself, you pulled me aside and questioned it out of me what was happening. You offered support and a listening ear. Thank you for that too.
I recall countless times working with you, I would be crying laughing from your humor. Many times I'd be doubled over laughing with tears and a belly ache from laughing so hard. Thank you for that!
I only knew you as being the exceptional, brilliant surgeon you were. Thank you also for being a friend.
I will miss you very much Anil. It was an honour to work with you.
I hope you are at peace as you should be proud of what you accomplished in this lifetime here you had. I am still so shocked and saddened to hear of your passing. You will not be forgotten. You will see.
I wonder if there is unlimited pizza where you are now? I will wait to find out.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Jerome

He was extremely dedicated to his patients. He was funny and his sense of humour was contagious. How are you Anil ? I am FANTASTIC !, will he reply all the time.
I had the best time of my professional life with him and with all the whole Urology Team at St-Joe's.
I feel an extreme sadness.

It’s not uncommon that I tell my students and residents about the lessons I learned from the great Dr Kapoor. You will never be forgotten by your many disciples.

We will deeply miss Monty as a friend. So many of us are now faced with a vacuum that can never be filled. If one considers our community of friends as a patchwork quilt, then it should be noted that Monty’s spots had brighter colours and were considerably warmer. He will be remembered as an intelligent and caring person who had such a joy for life. His legendary sense of humour was infectious and never failed to brighten the mood in any room. He had a larger-than-life personality but was always approachable, supportive and genuine. Oh, so genuine!
You were taken away from us too soon. May you forever rest in peace, Monty.

Dr. Kapoor was an extremely gifted surgeon and a doctor with an amazing bedside manner. He saved Rick’s life when he was fighting bladder cancer. Dr. Kapoor moved very rapidly to ensure that Rick had his surgery in a very timely manner.
Our current urologist in Saskatchewan studied under him and told Rick that Dr. Kapoor was the best of the best. Dr. Domes at every check up shows his interns the amazing job that Dr. Kapoor did on Rick’s bladder. He is a doctor and a man that we will never forget. May your family cherish the knowledge of his great gift to so many and the countless lives he saved.

On the third of January 2018, Dr. Anil Kapoor and his team performed a successful Laparoscopic LT. Radial Nephrectomy on my kidney at St. Joseph Hospital, extending my life!
It is with heavy heart that my wife and I reach out to offer our condolences to his family and fellow health care associates along with this short story!
Weeks after the above event, my wife and I arrived for the initial follow up appointment with Doctor Kapoor (herein after Dr. K if we may). We entered the examination room bearing a taped up cardboard box and placed it on an empty chair. Dr. K arrived and we discussed every aspect of the operation and follow up details. From time to time he glanced at the chair, possibly curious as to why the box was there.
Meeting concluded, we got up to leave, ignoring the box. Dr. K was quick to say, "Don't forget your package!" We said, "Oh, we almost forgot, but that package is staying with you under one condition!" With a twinkle in his eye and a curious grin he said, "What's the condition?" We said, "That you don't open it here but take it home and open with your family tonight!" He agreed.
We see that you are all curious to find out what the box contained?
During my initial visit I discovered that Dr. K and I were both boyhood huge fans of the NHL Montreal Canadiens. This fact stemmed from a question regarding what I did for a living, which was sales and marketing sports memorabilia!
The box contained a small assortment of apparel items with the Montreal team logo! All but one were from our nephew's warehouse in Winnipeg.
That one item was a very rare find online after a lengthy search. It was a surgical or scrub cap in its original packaging! Hospital protocol probably never allowed him to wear it in the op room, but his sense of humour would have had him wearing it during staff meetings. Dr. K called us the following day with thanks for his surprise.
Let us finish this memorable story with a quote from the recently deceased Rabbi Bernard Baskin.
"After our time on Earth, we carry nothing away with us except the memory of our character, our good deeds, our good name."
Doctor Anil Kapoor, you leave with a very heavy load indeed!

Dr. Kapoor was my fathers specialist when he was enduring his battle with kidney cancer back in 2009. I will never forget the love , kindness and compassion that Dr.Kapoor showed my father Reggie . The day our family was told that there were no treatment options left was a day that has been etched in my brain . My father asked Dr. Kapoor if he would pray with him . Dr. Kapoor held my fathers hand as he said a prayer and after , my father sobbed uncontrollably while Dr.Kapoor held my father in the most loving embrace and he didn’t let go until my father pulled away . Quite honestly for as sad as it was it was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever witnessed . Dr Kapoor was a very special man and an incredible physician .

The first professor-surgeon I have ever met up close. I was curious about the combination of composure, technical skill and knowledge required. What kind of person will this be? Will he help my father?
I was not expecting Joey Ramone in a lab coat. Perhaps it was the pandemic hair, perhaps it was the hoody, but something said, 'this guy rocks' and indeed that appears to have been so. We had a bumpy road and just as things settled down to a regular routine of clinic visits, we heard the shocking news and were so sad to hear about it.
Condolences from my father and myself for the loss of a man who lived his short life in a good way, with great impact on so many. May his memory be a source of comfort to all those coping with his loss and his life in action an inspiration.

I first met Dr Kapoor in January 2018 when I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. It’s been over 5 years under his care and guidance and I am so thankful for his skills, knowledge and the lessons he taught me. He was a big part of my life.
On average I would see Dr Kapoor every 4-6 months to review CT scans and bloodwork results. He taught me how to read the results and get a better understanding of key indicators. He was genuinely over the moon when we celebrated together the great results…with a heartfelt HUG.
Over the years he has become a good friend and confidant. We would talk about the Raptors, bet on football games, or whether it’s time to get his hair cut, and take selfies. Dr kapoor taught me that hope, positivity and a sense of humour never go wasted.
Dr Kapoor left a huge impact on the world and it is certainly better than how he found it. I will miss Dr Kapoor, the world will miss Dr Kapoor.
Heaven has received a great doctor and a wonderful human being. I know he will be my guardian angel and watch over me.
My deepest condolences to his family.

I remember well that he would invite me to workshops with family docs. Every single talk or lecture (small or big) I have ever given (if he was in attendance), he would always pay me a compliment saying some nice inspirational things. He allowed me to participate in a few CUA research initiatives, connecting me with the right people, and helped me grow as an academic surgeon. He was always telling me when we used to meet at St Joe's to keep working hard that eventually things would start flourishing and the work would be recognized. He was right and I am forever grateful for all his pep talk and for his trust in me. I will miss his vibrant and energetic personality. Rest in peace my friend.

The Urology community was shocked and profoundly saddened by Anil's death. I first met Anil when he was a fellow at the Cleveland Clinic studying with another expat Montrealer Canadian and urological leader, Andrew Novak. Anil's enthusiasm and energy was infectious as he helped to build Urology at McMaster and minimally invasive urologicial surgery in Canada and beyond. He was instrumental in establishing and ultimately leading the Kidney Cancer Research Network of Canada. He brought a smile to our faces when we met him at the Canadian Urological Association and many other meetings where he contributed scientifically and administratively. He was appropriately revered by his trainess and patients. We will all miss him forever. My personal condolences all his family and to those who loved him dearly. We will be thinking about you Anil even if we can't be at your life celebration this week. Many of us will be doing what you would want us to do, which is attend an international urological meeting overseas.

Anil,
I will forever be grateful for being able to start my research career with you.
You have taught me so much throughout the years. You were such an amazing mentor to many, and you were always so supportive of me.
You leaving us so soon has been quite the shock. The Urologic community has truly lost a hero, and Heaven has gained one.
Thank you for all that you have done for everyone, and for always making everyone laugh.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family, friends, and to all those that you have helped ❤
You will always be remembered and your legacy will live on.

You were an inspiration and will truly be missed. A huge loss both personally and professionally. You were not only my doctor for over 20+ years, but you were a dear friend, a trusted confidant, a source of wisdom, and a pillar of strength. You were there for me in some of my toughest moments, and I cannot begin to express my gratitude to you for saving my life.
I will miss you deeply, Anil. You have made a profound impact on my life and the lives of countless others. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me by being an incredible doctor and a hero of a human being.
May you rest in peace until we meet again! Your friend John Ribson

I have known and worked with Anil for almost 25 years. We became friends and had some great, often mischievous times together. We used to sit in the back row of our kids soccer games and laugh and tell stories. People often would turn around and wonder what we thought was so funny... When Anil was around there was always something humorous. He was larger than life.
Professionally his unwavering commitment to his patients was apparent to all who worked with and were treated by him. He cared deeply about each and every person who came to see him. That speaks volumes about Anil the man. He had monumental impact as a surgeon but he was also a man of great integrity and humour. So sad to say goodbye so I won't. I will say, See you down the road my friend.

I am still devastated by the loss of a good friend and professional colleague. Anil was truly one of a kind, having expertise that was sought after as a uro-oncologist but also as a great communicator. He was one of the first urologists who helped push the field forward in getting others to understand the subtleties and complexities in the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. He did this while being one hell of a funny guy! Whenever Anil was going to chair or moderate a session in a scientific meeting, we knew we would all learn a lot AND be entertained! He had a gift, and it was a privilege seeing him in action for over 20 years. He contributed so much to Canadian Urology in his multiple roles with the CUA, the Journal, the CUA Foundation, Kidney Cancer Canada, his institution and much, much more. Beyond all his jokes and his wit, he was simply a great guy that was sensitive and very kind. This is a very sad time. I will miss him deeply, as I know many others will as well.
With immense respect and fond memories, please RIP my friend

I met Monty many years ago as I was a junior and he a senior in undergrad at Dalhousie University. He was always such an awe inspiring and enormous ball of energy that was both the life of the party but also the smartest person in the room. His life accomplishments and exemplary clinical achievements speak for themselves but what I remember most is how he was always there when you needed him. How he always showed up regardless of the inconvenience it may pose him. How even in the darkest hours he could bring levity to the room and keep us positive and reminding us that this too shall pass. Man, I will miss him so much. He touched so many lives and made a positive impact on so many, myself included. Love you big guy, Shekhar Pandey

I am a long time, OR nurse so feel confident in saying that Dr Kapoor was an exceptional surgeon and physician. He was honestly the forever bright spot in my memories of my ( a veterinarian) husband’s very sad journey with kidney cancer. (The surgery performed by Dr Kapoor was a total success). Dr Kapoor was so kind to him and offered respect , kindness,, understanding and exceptional care both before and after my husband’s death. The memories of the care thank he gave to both of us is what keeps me going., even 4 yrs later. We have lost a great physician far too soon.

19 years ago I met Dr Kapoor as a mother of 5 kids. The diagnosis of Kidney cancer was terrifying. Dr Kapoor was very professional and the surgery he performed saved my life. My last exam was only 2 years ago and once again Dr Kapoor hugged me and reassured me everything was ok.
I was so shocked to hear of his passing and I wanted to let his family know how much I appreciated everything Dr Kapoor did for me.
Sending prayers to all Dr Kapoor’s family and friends.

I will be forever grateful for the treatment and care that Dr Kapoor gave my father. Anil was not only a skilled oncologist, he was also a wonderful human that genuinely cared for his patients. He walked side by side with my dad through the ups and downs in his cancer journey.
I have many fond memories of Anil; there is one in particular that I’ll share here. My dad was lucky enough to enrol in a trial to fight kidney cancer around 2005/2006. After the first CT scan Dr Kapoor called my dad at home around 9pm to excitedly tell him that the tumours had shrunk significantly and the treatment was working. He said to my dad, “I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to call! I had to call you right away!” Unbelievable. We will never forget that gesture of care, and all the others that followed. Dr Kapoor was extraordinary.
Anil’s research, skill and compassion extended my father’s life by years. My dad was so grateful for him and and so are we.
My dad passed in 2011. In the final days before his passing, Dr Kapoor gave us support and compassion, offering to help where he could. I will never forget that. My father’s death was crushing for us. Dr Kapoor gave us a glimmer of light through all the grief and pain. Extraordinary.
To his family, I am sending you love during this very difficult time. I hope these stories of your husband / father / brother / son offer a glimmer of light to you.

Q: How did you meet Anil?
A: I met Anil at a CUA Executive dinner, it was my very first one and I was very nervous, he quickly put me at ease with his humble manner and quick wit. Since that first meeting not only did I have the pleasure of primarily organizing his Annual Kidney Cancer Forum but he also became a very good friend. I will cherish 17 years of memories of him in my heart forever. The CUA will not be the same without him, he is leaving a very big void. Rest in the peace you deserve my friend.

I’m extremely sad to hear about Dr. Kapoor’s passing.
I worked under Dr. Kapoor as a research student for several years. He was an exceptional mentor, who not only encouraged my sassy attitude and reciprocated it, but also took the time to get to know me as a person outside of my research student role.
He was intelligent, inspiring, and extremely supportive. We usually had weekly meetings to discuss ongoing research, but 80% of the time we would be talking about random things in life. He always shared stories about his two sons (Akshay and Jeevan), whom he was immensely proud of.
Dr. Kapoor was very charismatic and loved cracking jokes – I can’t remember an encounter where he didn’t make a corny dad joke that had me smiling and rolling my eyes. I wouldn't have admitted it then because I didn't want to boost his ego any further, but Dr. Kapoor – you were actually pretty funny.
He was extremely supportive of all my endeavours, and I can’t thank him enough for that. Whether I needed life advice or for him to participate in a harmless office prank, he always made time for me. Even after I finished working under him, he always assured me that he was there for me as long as I continued to bring him homemade aloo parathas.
Thank you, Dr. Kapoor, for everything you’ve done, not just for me, but for your patients, students, colleagues, friends, and family. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 RCC in January 2015 and that was when I met Dr.Kapoor. From that day on he was my saviour throughout my various treatments and ups and downs and always with compassion and empathy. He also had a wonderful sense of humour and lightness of heart when we would celebrate good test results or positive CT scans. There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful and kind he was. When your Dr. has walked by your side and given you never ending support through such frightening times, that person becomes embedded in your being. Such is the case with Dr. Kapoor. The loss is great. I feel that I have lost a very good friend but will carry him in my heart.
My condolences to his family. Thank you for sharing him, as a patient I am very grateful. He made a huge difference to so many people.

Anil, it was truly a privilege to have worked with you in the last 22 years as a friend, colleague, and collaborator in our efforts to further understand and improve management of genitourinary cancer. In this journey, we have gone through frustrations together particularly in grant applications with the latest one occurred on January 30, 2023 when we have discussed how to move forward our unsuccessful CIHR grant application; together we have also achieved numerous successes and contributions to cancer research, evident by our co-authored 42 journal publications with two important articles (Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research 42:2. January 2, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-022-02584-y; Journal of Advanced Research. In press. January 20, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jare.2023.01.015) published in January 2023, 3 book chapters, 6 conference, and 5 US Provincial patents with the latest in Dec 2022. Your support was essential in our cancer research. You have been a major part of our research and will remain so in time to come. We (you and I) still have unfinished works: articles with you as a co-author are either under reviewing or in preparation; I trust you will see our future successes. You will certainly be missed in our continuous work in cancer research.

A: Larger than life.
This we can unanimously agree on. I had the chance to cross paths with Anil on a number of occasions through our careers, but somehow right from Day 1 it went beyond work. I consider him a friend and a close buddy.
What’s incredible to me is that I think that’s how everyone sees him, and that’s why this hurts so badly for so many.
Anil, buddy, you are larger than life and always will be. We’ll miss you and will never forget the impact you made on countless people across this globe.

My Family and I were saddened to hear the news about Dr Kapoor.
Our hearts go out to his family, and I want to thank them for sharing their husband, dad, son, brother, and uncle with us. I know when someone is that dedicated, there would have been times when it felt like he was putting others before you. So thank you for graciously sharing him with us.
His impact was vast and wondrous, and he gave much to this world regarding compassion, knowledge, research, education, health and, most importantly, time.
My mom and dad were both diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma. Highly unusual. Without Dr Kapoor's support through research, advocating on their behalf with the drug companies and his compassion and care, my family would not have had the extra time we did with both. We thank you for that precious gift of time.
Dr Kapoor has been a quarterly and sometimes monthly part of our lives for ten-plus years. Sadly, we lost my dad in January 2018 and my mom in December 2022. Whenever we were there, he and his staff never made us feel rushed, we always felt heard, loved and respected. Thank you for all the compassion and wrap-around care you provided to my mom, dad and our family.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the precious gift(s) you gave the world.
With Gratitude and Love,
