My deepest sympathy and condolences for your huge loss. I didn't find out about this until today and I'm very sad and heartbroken.
I knew him since I was 10 weeks old, and my older brother was 1 of his 1st patients. He also treated my daughter in the mid 90s- 2003 or so. I used to call him Dr. Pickles when I was very young.
The man loved all children with a passion. I told him in the early 2000s that he was 1 level under God to me, and meant every word of it. Needless to say, he was uncomfortable with that, and I can't remember his reply.
He was so far ahead of his time too. He diagnosed me with (severe) ADHD, and put me on Ritalin at 4 yrs old. He was NEVER quick to medicate a child, but I was a wild child, to say the least...lol
He was beyond phenomenal.

"The life and passion of a person leave an imprint on a place."

And so it is with Dr. Lee Stickles. He lived in rhythm with his beliefs of total commitment to his family, his profession and to his community. Lee Stickles wove talent and wisdom into every aspect of being a doctor. He was a consummate professional and a model of compassion for others. He opened frontiers in medicine and explored its possibilities.
Dr. Stickles sheltered the fragile and the vulnerable of this world. As a life long learner, he brought light to the complexities of life and medicine. His spirit will reside in the hearts of all who knew him.
My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Dr. Stickles was a fabulous paediatrician he was my doctor up until I was 18 years old. He identified that I was very ill as an infant and got me on the right track to find the care that I needed at the IWK - I loved going to our our long appointments either twice a year or yearly. Extremely special person to my family and I.

I was very saddened to learn of Lee’s death but had been aware of his deteriorating health through mutual friends. When I first consulted him as a newly-minted physician in 1971, he was kind and patient and full of helpful advice but was always willing to take over the more complicated cases requiring his hands on expertise. He was a true gentleman, a scholar, and an inquisitive mentor and role model to me and several generations of young doctors. When I became involved in medical affairs at the national level, he was one of the Fredericton physicians that colleagues across Canada asked about and I came to appreciate the esteem others held for him. His patients loved him and I recall asking patients in their forties in the ER who their family doctor was and “Dr. Stickles” was not an unusual answer. My condolences to his family, patients and colleagues at their loss of this remarkable man.

My sister and I were patients of Dr. Stickles. Although that was decades ago, I have the fondest memories of doctor's appointments throughout my childhood. I remember his waiting room fish tank - what a lovely thing for children to watch and contemplate while they waited. I remember how gentle - but pragmatic - he was as a physician. I never felt afraid or shy to visit - instead lucky to have such a competent doctor... a specialist in children's medicine. As an adult, I know how privileged we were, as young New Brunswickers, to have Dr. Stickles in our lives. I remember realizing that graduating from high school likely meant the end of our doctor-patient relationship, but he reassured me cheerfully that it meant no such thing! In reality, I moved away and only saw him again out and about in Fredericton. I am sure countless children had similar positive experiences with Dr. Stickles, which would stand them in good stead to be good health advocates for themselves as adults. I hope his family knows how much his dedication to children meant for all of us. My sincerest condolences to you. Love, Susan Gunter

Dear family of Dr. Stickles. Our family was saddened to learn of Dr. Stickles passing. I believe all my brothers and sisters were patients of Dr. Stickles growing up and we all have great memories of visiting his office for check ups. I personally remember the fish tank in the waiting room, his wood finished office, which I always thought was very classy, and the photos of his daughters that hung on his office wall. God bless him.

Mary and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. Being a doctor is not only a difficult task but it is truly a family effort that enabled Lee to devote so much time to his patients. The community is better because of your family and your strength . It was great comfort to Andrew to speak with his uncle when he was going through his cancer illness. He really enjoyed his conversations. Take care of yourselves, love one another and be there for each other. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I was so saddened to hear that Dr. Stickles’ earthly life is over but Heaven has gained an amazing man. The 25 years that Dr. Stickles was my paediatrician is a time in my life that I will never forget. Every time I was in his office, I always asked about Mrs. Stickles and his girls. He would sit there beaming and tell me about his beautiful family. I was 9 months old when I developed diabetes and we cannot fully explain the care he gave me and the guidance he gave my mom . It was a joy to have interviewed Dr. Stickles a few years ago. He sat in his living room with a glow about him as he talked about his years as a paediatrician.

Dr. Stickles was the kindest doctor and good neighbor to me and my family . He saved my younger brother's life by making a house call and transporting him to the hospital himself! They don't make doctors like that anymore, and I am sure there are numerous families with similar stories. I also have fond memories of babysitting his girls and enjoyed the snacks that he and Mary provided. He always walked me home safely when it was late.
My condolences to Mary and the girls.

My children were not patients of Dr Stickles but many of my friend’s children were and they only had praise for him.
My interaction was as a medical receptionist while he was doing some consulting work and he called the office where I was working and ask my opinion on a patient who was sent to him for behavioural issues.
I told him I was just the receptionist, he said I know, but what was your take on this child?
Having children that were adults , I said, my own had moments that were probably as bad whenever they got a negative response from me. He said my thoughts exactly, thank you.
His kindness and concern for his patients will be remembered forever. He will be missed in this community for by many reasons
My condolences to his family and friends.

Dr Stickles was our daughter’s Pediatrician, she never left his office but he didn’t give her a hug! He always told her she was very special. He diagnosed our son, Jeremy with asthma at seven months. He was a well loved Doctor. He went with Angela Dawn to see Dr J McKay, downstairs, she was 16 when they told her she could not have children. Dr Stickles cried with her that day. Angela lived in England and became pregnant at the age of 37. She was very sick and had to leave her job at the Canadian Embassy, but Emma was born, November 2008. We talked at the time about contacting Dr Stickles but sadly we never did. He was beyond a phenomenal person and exceptionally humble.

Dr, Stickles became our children's doctor in 1981 when we moved to Fn. We were grieved to read of his death for we thought he would go on forever. The world is a poorer place without him but a better, much better, place than when he entered it and all our lives. Our sincerest condolences to Mrs. Stickles and all of his family of whom he was very proud.. Our son was diagnosed with kidney disease and we came to rely on his skills and his humour and his compassion . Our son went on to become a doctor of some note because he listened and watched Dr. Stickles and learned so much from him. He followed the example of Dr. Stickles, it would seem, from some of the many descriptions of his manner and knowledge after his death at age 50. He was a good friend and mentor to our son and in turn to our daughter.. His compassion was unsurpassed. Dr. Stickles' death comes very close to the anniversary of our son's death which somehow seemed appropriate. First you must listen to your patient and his family. and then you must consider carefully the best course of action. All the children who grew up to be doctors remember the lessons well. He was such a kind man, and had such a sense of humour that helped both the children and their parents. When we moved from Fn., I could not bear to phone Dr. Stickles to say goodbye, but he had been searching for our family to check on our son and keep himself abreast of another patient's welfare. However, I phoned him once we were settled and he was a comfort to me as our boy was dying. His relationship with our daughter was not as close but she needed him less but he was always interested in her well being and ours. We are so sad at his death, but realize what a wonderful, meaningful life he had. He told me that one of his girls lived close to us in On.and I notice that one was married to a man with the same name as my husband's. Another little connection. We loved Dr. Stickles, always will, but he has gone to his great reward and I like to think that he and our son have met up and are chatting cases or whatever. With love from the White Family to the Stickles Family. We will miss him too.

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Lee Stickles. He was a wonderful doctor, the perfect pediatrician!-, so kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and always put the best of his little patients and their families first. He was my pediatrician for my whole childhood and adolescence, until I was a young adult. He did my physical for entering dental school ( I was 20 years old), and said it was finally time for me to find another doctor!. I loved seeing the photos of his daughters on his office wall- the same age as me. And how it was so easy to see he loved children and he loved his work! I remember the many times had made house calls to see me as a small child, suffering from tonsillitis and scarlet fever. What a blessing! My mother (a nurse) also said "he was a saint". I was surprised to learn he did some of his training at University of Michigan and Children's Hospital of Michigan ( I have worked at both). I am so grateful that we had Dr. Stickles to take care of us in Fredericton! The family is in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your Dad and husband with us. Carol Anne Murdoch-Kinch

My sincerest condolences to the family of Dr. Stickles on the news of his passing. He was a remarkable man and physician!
My family was fortunate to find him when I was just under two years old and experiencing congenital heart failure. I ended up having three open heart surgeries at two years old and a pacemaker implanted later when I was twenty. I have since had other surgeries but have always been able to lead a normal life - thanks in a great part to the care of Dr. Stickles.
I remember being 20 years old in the CCU at the Chalmers hospital, on Christmas Eve, when the doctors told me that I needed the pacemaker. I didn’t want to believe them until Dr. Stickles stopped by to confirm the diagnosis. He removed any doubt or hesitation of what I needed and I proceeded with the surgery later that day. I knew that he would never steer me wrong!
Dr. Stickles looked after me until I was 23 when I moved to Ontario to build my life. It was funny at times sitting in his waiting room as a 23 year old adult while all of his other patients were children. I was able to have a good life. I built a good career, married, and had a family. I recently retired early at 55 and moved back to the Fredericton area with my family. I have no doubt that my life would have been very different and cut much too short without the many efforts of Dr. Stickles! My mother has always called him a Saint. I continue to carry an equally high opinion of him. I remain very grateful for his many years of care, dedication, and character.

I met This amazing Man when my Daughter was 2 months old, she was 12 weeks early amd was a sick little lady when I took her to the DECH . He said to me ..while holding my hand to comfort me... I really don't know what is wrong , however we're going to do some tests, if in 3 days this place doesn't have an answer she's going to Halifax. On the third day he came to see me amd said ..we believe we may know what it is but we need 1 more day. My Daughter had got whooping cough ..he said to me just a couple of days before she came home...I didn't think your little girl was going to make it when I first saw her she sure is a fighter... the day I brought her hime the nurse said ..oh the Dr. Will be sad tonight but happy for you...I said ..oh..why..she said he came every evening and fed her and rocked her..she was his "favorite" patient.
We had to go see him at his office...my Daughter didn't like the smell be ause it smelled like the hospital..she would cry as soon as we got there...the Nurse would say have a seat he'll see you soon...I'll let him know your here, he would come out to the waiting area and pick her up ..she would stop crying from the sound of his voice ..and he'd take her with him to see his other patients then come get me when it was our turn.
The last visit to his office he gave her a kiss on her cheek and hsaid..I'm really going to miss you for sure..but so glad your going to be ok.
He was the kindest man ..I will never forget him.
My daughter is now 32 years old.

I had the privilege of being both a patient of Dr. Stickles while growing up, then as a colleague for many years. His knowledge base and gentle approach to children was an inspiration to me, and I am sure, to many other physicians.

Deepest condolences to the family. Dr. Stickles was our family’s paediatrician and displayed so much care and concern for our well-being growing up. I remember him making house calls when we were too sick for our parents to bring us to the clinic. He promised my mother that he would look after us until we were married, a promise he kept. What a wonderful man and doctor! You will miss him but I am sure the stories you are hearing will fill your hearts during this difficult time. ❤️

Dr. Stickles was my daughter's pediatrician due a bit in the 90's on a couple of his travelling clinics to Perth. I was taking my RNA at the time. We had great conversations about nursing and the health care profession. He was an inspiration to many and well loved by all. Those conversations with him helped me to continue in my career as a nurse. I've quoted those conversations many times over my career. My condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences to Mary and the family of this wonderful Paediatrician and man. I had the privilege of working on Paediatrics for my first years as an RN where I would learn how to really listen to patients and families. ( including me as he cared for my own children) Dr. Stickles believed in the value of doing that. I learned so much from him and I admired him tremendously. He lived a long life and was very loved but what a loss.
My favourite quote from Dr. Stickles that I still hear in my head, “ Never say never and never say always”.
Sincerely,
Terry O’Neill

A few years later.Dr. Stickles helped us get him a proper diagnosis and treatment for learning differences. As the children and grandchildren off this amazing couple you have every reason to be proud of the legacy of your parents. May you feel God's presence and comfort as you travel this part of life's journey.
