We just learned of Dr Flesh's passing. We were both patients of hers. Patricia in her private practice and me at the VA. We both liked her very much and thought she was an excellent physician. I met her for the first time just last year at the VA. I was looking forward to seeing her again. During her workup on me she obtained my life history with humor, compassion and professionalism. She also shared some of her family stories with me. She had recently returned from a cruise during a storm and told of how her Husband did such a great job of driving a long distance in the storm after their flight had been cancelled. We also cruise so we shared some of our cruise stories. I am also a pilot so she shared some stories about her and her Husband flying.
It was more like visiting a close friend than a Dr. appointment. She was a wonderful person and will be always be remembered by the people whose lives she touched.
Our condolences to her loving family. Bob & Pat

I just heard of Dr. Flesh's passing this morning. I was a patient of hers for 25 years. She was the most remarkable women I have ever met. When I was with her, I felt like I was her most important patient. The time, care and friendship she provided to me will never be forgotten. She has left a beautiful mark in our world. My heart goes out to her family who she spoke about with such loving words often. I so missed her when she retired from private practice and I will miss her warm presence in our world.

Dr. Flesh, my name is Norm Seabrooks and I was a patient of Roberta’s after moving to Albany in 1980. I needed a doctor and a friend recommended their physician’s practice, a couple of women, who had just open shop in Albany. Although I did not specify which physician I wanted to see, Roberta assured me that she and Mary were a packaged deal and I would get both and no one could do better than a Jewish and Italian big sister. My concerns about how well we would mesh were eased during our first visit. She walked in with a raw carrot in her mouth and wearing a tight skirt. She sat down on a stool and hiked up her skirt. She said,”I am attending an event with my husband and I need to lose a few pounds in order to fit into my dress”. I fell in love with her at that moment and she became a good friend. She was a great physician, a good friend and a wonderful lady. Please pass along my condolences to your family. This is a huge loss and I will miss her terribly.
Norm

To ALL family members: From my heart I want you's all to know I cannot even explain how hurt and sad I fell of her passing. All to know how a beautiful and very special personal and doctor she was for me for over 30 years. No doctor has been able to take her place for me. I have been sick and did not know about her passing until yesterday I was in Delmar Hannafords and a medical worker from when she was my doctor told me about your mom passing. I was so upset that I had to leave the store and went to my car and cried. She was a very very special doctor to me. I always remembered her birthday on February 1st and mind was in March and we were both the same age. I had to watch for 20 years of my husband having cancer and then make the decision in the end so I know what you's have gone through.

Dear Larry and family,
I was so sad to hear of the loss of Roberta and send my deepest sympathies. I will always remember Roberta's smile, laugh and wit during your family's gracious hosting of the many VA staff pool gatherings in Voorheesville.
Wishing you and your family find ways to celebrate the great life Roberta lived and hope you can share memories that will make you smile during such a difficult time.

It was with great sadness that I read of Roberta's passing. I have never met a more caring and compassionate woman or physician. She was my primary for somewhere around 30 years, and I went through several new ones in recent years trying to find someone who rose to her standard. I also enjoyed her as a workout buddy at the Sweat Shop for many years. I will miss knowing she shares the community with me, and the ache inside me, I am sure, doesn't come close to you the family and her closest friends. I wish you peace and comfort in the months and years ahead.

We feel this as a personal family loss as she meant so much to us for so many years.When she gave up her practice we had a very difficult time finding a new primary care physician and were unable to ever find another physician who came up to her standards.. We became so appreciative through many of our difficult times for her personal care and concern for us. We felt a loss at that time and we are feeling that loss again. Our very deepest condolences to her family, who we know, meant the world to her.

My deepest condolences to all family and friends. Dr. Flesh was my physician for 30 years from the time I was 29 years old. She was an excellent physician as well as a terrific person. I have many fond memories of the excellent care she provided to me and my chronically ill mother who passed away in 2011. The world needs more physicians like Dr. Flesh. I am extremely saddened by her passing and will always remember her.

Larry and family, please accept our deepest condolences. Carol and I were deeply saddened to hear the news of Roberta's passing. She was a valued colleague for many years, a wonderful, thorough and caring doctor with a self deprecating sense of humor, and was as well-loved by her patients as by her colleagues.
