Craig Saylan |
Saylan was well known among many medical center employees. Ivan Adbouch, M.D., associate professor of family medicine, called him a legend.
Memorial services for Saylan were held Wednesday at Schrager Memorial Chapel at Temple Israel Cemetery.
Craig used to be at the SSP building when I worked there and he was a bright spot to every day. He was so caring and never complained about his health or ANYTHING. After my department left the SSP he would come to the 4230 Building and visit and even came to Mutual to see us after we moved over here. He will truly be missed.
Craig was such a happy person and greeted everyone with such a positive attitude. He would smile and say "hello" everyday to all. I looked forward to meeting him while he would go about his duties. He will be truly missed.
Craig had an impressively impeccable work ethic that many could scarcely emulate.
I have been here for almost 18 years, and Craig always said hello, with a smile. He was a great employee and I am sure we will all miss him.
Continuity brings a sense of comfort to most of us. When I was a medical student at UNMC in the 1970s, Craig was one of the first people I met outside of my class. When I returned after 10 years of private practice to join the UNMC faculty, Craig was one of the first people to welcome me back. While Chancellors, Deans, teachers and administrators had come and gone, Craig provided continuity — and with that, a sense of comfort to many of us. I feel blessed to have known him.
Craig always greeted me and asked how things were going. I miss his smile.
