Dr Raghu Ram Veeramasuneni garu, have been one of the inspirational personality, I used to wait for his call every Sunday morning and we used to talk for long hours on all the topics from Family, relationship's, Friendship's , Politics ,Movies to Cars and even Spirituality, we both got to know that the phone call in India would be dropped off automatically after an hour of tenure, a call from him used to be an motivation for the entire week. He never differenciated me from their family members and always showed a fatherly affection. He was there for me and my family in the darkest of the times. I would never forget his words and inspirational advices.

It's a huge loss for me personally as I will be missing uncle forever ,as when in crisis the first call would be to him.

My deepest condolences to Jyothi Aunty, Haritha, Yojana akka and Deepak anna.

Dr Raghu was a truly wonderful person and great doctor. I was blessed that God put him in my life as my doctor during my time of need. For over 25 years, he kindly and humbly cared for my needs both mentally and physically as I went through many surgeries during this time period. I consider him a true friend and he never failed to ask how my husband was doing. I will miss him greatly. Hope to see you in the heavenly realms, Dr Raghu!

Some people touch our lives in the simplest yet most profound ways. Raghu Ram was one such soul—humble, kind, and full of warmth. When my aunt Sudha introduced me to him, he welcomed me like family, with a sincerity that deeply moved me.

I will always cherish the moment when he blessed me on my birthday, not just with a gift, but with genuine affection. His kindness and generosity left a lasting impression, and his presence brought comfort to those around him.

Though he is no longer with us, his love and warmth will live on in our hearts. Rest in peace, dear Uncle. You will always be remembered.

With love and gratitude, Sai Ram

I remember working in the ER the first Christmas Eve after my divorce. I brought a stuffed bear for a lady who was admitted to the psychiatric unit I met as social worker the previous night. Dr. Raghu kindly admitted me to the unit and accompanied me. This patient was so grateful for the comfort of this bear she’d requested. The spirit of Christmas came in that experience, despite different faith backgrounds, and a difficult time personally for me.

I can say Dr Raghu saved my life. He was a wonderful doctor and a wonderful friend. It was his kind and caring ways and complete dedication to helping his patients that made me want to live again. He was devoted to his family and his work and I was one of the lucky ones when he became my doctor. I will never forget him and hope we meet again in the next world. It is with a heavy heart that I say I will truly miss him.

With a heavy heart, I am saddened by the news of the passing of my great friend and Doctor. I have known Dr. Raghu for many decades, and it is difficult to lose such a great friend. Not only was Dr. Raghu a fantastic Doctor, but he was also a great friend to all. Dr. Raghu was always available to help me as my Doctor and Dr. Raghu was always available to help me as my friend. I remember some of the wonderful conversations between Dr. Raghu and myself. Our conversations were professional, but there were many times we both shared some humorous moments. I will miss my dear friend. This world needs more Dr. Raghu's. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Michael Alan Kechkaylo

I will be forever grateful for Dr. Raghu during some of my darkest times. He was the most caring, understanding, compassionate doctor who became a good friend. Having worked in the medical field for many years, he saw my potential and helped me regain confidence in myself. I will always feel blessed, he saw me at my lowest times, and in later years offered me a job as a secretary in his practice, what a wonderful man he was, never to be forgotten by so many. Rest in Peace, Dr. Raghu.

I first knew Dr. Raghu when he created the Adolescent Mental Health Center at Bon Secours Hospital in Grosse Pointe, Michigan where I worked as the Medical Staff Coordinator. I was privileged to credential him for his privileges there and I found him to be a wonderful and caring physician. After I moved back home to St. Joseph, I was surprised to see him working here at Lakeland Hospital. He remembered me and we had some nice conversations. I send my sympathy to his family and I will always remember him as a caring and compassionate physician.
