I just received a letter from OrthoNY regarding Dr. Quade's passing. I am very grateful to him; back in November of last year I fell and broke my femur; he made the decision to avoid pins, etc. and put in a new hip, saying I would recover more quickly. I have, and thanks to him, I am back on my feet, and going and doing. I remember his kindness to me as I was in the operating room, explaining what would happen, and letting me keep my sheep stuffty with me for comfort. My condolences to his family

I first met Dr. Quaid in 1996 for a torn ACL. Dr. Quaid has performed 4 surgeries on me in total, the most recent being carpal tunnel surgery about 5 months ago.
Dr. Quaid was everything a doctor should be and most importantly, everything a person should be. I didn't just trust him as a surgeon, I trusted him completely.
There was something very unique about Dr. Quaid that beautifully set him apart from everyone else and always will.
The last time I saw him, I said, "You're a great doctor." He replied with a smile, " Thank you and you are a great patient."
I'll miss our talks during all those appointments and feeling your comfort before and after my surgeries. I'm going to miss you and all you brought to life.
Yours truly,
Robert Rondeau Jr.

I regret being unable to attend the funeral or calling hours earlier this week. Jackie, and Josh and Zack, please accept my heartfelt condolences. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news Ralph’s death. We shared professional interests in our medical work, but for me he was mainly a good friend and hiking partner on the trail over the course of three decades. He appreciated nature and the beauty of the great outdoors, but, I think, like me, his real joy was in the spirit of adventure, pushing his skills and strength and stamina to higher levels. If not full-blown mountaineers, we could at least think of ourselves as climbers. I cherish the memory of his friendship. Maybe 35 years ago, with young boys Josh & Zack, and my young daughter, we hiked Pine Cobble in Williamstown. He was with me when I finished my Adirondack 46 on Mt Redfield in July 2000. And he was with me on our Mt Rainier climbing expedition in September 1986… at the end of our week on the mountain, at dinner at Paradise Lodge, we celebrated our safe return, passed around pitchers of beer, exchanged stories and jokes, and congratulated ourselves. I’ll always remember his warm and happy exuberance, his laughter, as he toasted our guides, and asked for another round of ’Prairie Fire’ shots… and started planning a future return trip for another climb…. Good-bye, my friend. Thanks for your friendship, thanks for the memories.

My wife and I first met Dr. Quade some 10 years ago just prior to what turned out to be the first of three different surgeries for me during those ten years. In our first meeting we were struck with how intently he listened to our concerns, clearly answered all our questions, and showed us great respect. Throughout those ten years he never changed and was always calm and reassuring. My wife always told me she felt a great sense of relief following my surgeries when he would call and tell her how everything went. He operated on me in November and the last time I saw him was the end of that month at my post-op visit. It was with great sadness when we learned of his passing. We pray that God will give you strength, comfort, peace and hearts full of warm memories of him. God bless you.

Everything the family said about Dr, Quade in his obituary was accurate. As a patient of Dr. Quade, I owe him more than he probably ever realized. He gave me back my mobility for which I am eternally grateful.
Rest in peace Dr. Quade.

Ralph, you were so much more than a doctor, a surgeon. Our many conversations about life and the pursuit of happiness were very meaningful. Hard to believe but you taught me to be a better version of myself. We laughed, we had serious moments when the situation got a little tense. I sweated but you never faltered, remained calm and then picked right up where we left off meanwhile I'm still sweating. You were a kind and gentle man, caring for and about everyone who crossed your life's path. You know, I always looked up to you for life advice, a Ralph smile, talk about your next hike. A part of me is very sad and will miss you but I will see you again. God Bless my friend

A truly caring and compassionate physician/surgeon. Although time has passed , I relish the memories of our group hiking trips in the White Mountaind of New Hampshire and Mt Khatadine in Maine. Whenever our paths crossed at St.Peter's we would enjoy a chat to reminisce and catch up. My thoughts and prayers to his family,friends and colleagues at Ortho NY.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was very lucky to have Dr Quade as my surgeon. After my accident - I was told I would have a lot of issues walking. That was 2013 - I made a wonderful recovery after surgery on my leg. He was a very caring person.

I have been a nurse in Ambulatory Surgery at Samaritan Hospital in Troy, NY since 2015 where I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Quade. He was a class act. I have never once seen him lose his temper or talk down to anyone; doctors, nurses, patient care techs, patients; no one. He was always kind, respectful and spoke to everyone as a fellow human being. He took his time with his patients and would answer endless questions pre-operatively without showing any frustration. He was a gentleman with a kind heart and a great sense of humor. We will miss him terribly. I am so sorry for your loss and hope these stories and your memories of him bring you peace.

I believe I was one of dr Quade’s first broken humerus that needed a plate operation. I herd him in the next room asking questions of his colleague in 1987 about the operation he needed to perform. Although that scared me, he was such a caring Dr who immediately took care of me when he saw the condition my arm was in when we met in the emergency room, I was totally trusting of his care and he did an excellent job with my long healing process. He could put you at ease with his smile and true compassion. His passing is a great loss to the Ortho community, great doctors are very hard to find.

Dr. Quade had been my orthopedic doctor for 15 years, rebuilding my leg after a skiing accident. He was an extremely qualified and gifted surgeon. He was always very gentle and understanding in his care.
