I worked with Dr Cucu when he was a hospitalist at Newport Hospital. Such a kind and caring man. I did it see this until I went to the Friendship Street page today. I am so sorry for the family’s loss. May you find peace in the memories you shared with him.

Dr. Cucu saved my life in Sept. 2022.
When he came to see me after I was out of the ICU unit it was like Jesus walked into the room!
This man with the help of God kept me alive until the surgeon arrived to ultimately save my life!
I will remember him until I meet him again in heaven.
May God rest your beautiful soul...
Thank you for my life!

Lord, thank you for making Dragoș my brother, for giving our parents such a wonderful son, and for gifting my daughter, Alexandra, an incredibly loving uncle and godfather – more loving than words can ever say!
When Alexandra was very young, Dragoș would play her songs on the piano and write bedtime stories for her. He took such good care of both our parents until the very end. Even though he was away, he would call us every single day, just to check up on us and hear our voices.
He knew how to make everyone feel at ease with his jokes and liven up the atmosphere.
I can remember the immense joy on his face when he held his children, Alex and Irina, in his arms for the very first time. He was very proud of them, of Alex’s perceptiveness, his sensibility and perfect musical ear, and of Irina’s intelligence, her sense of humour and the great love and admiration she has always had for her big brother.
Dragoș was and will always be my light, my joy, my pillar, my best friend, the better piece of my soul.
He has brought an infinite amount of love into this world along with two beautiful, bright, sensitive, and wonderful children – just like him.
I love you, Dragoș!
May the angels guide and protect you on your way to Heaven!

Dragos radiated warmth and kindness. His bravery was profound, his character gentle; a beacon of love for all those fortunate to know him. Over the years, I witnessed his generosity firsthand - he would offer guidance without hesitation and always found ways to unexpectedly brighten one's day. The pain of this loss is profound, yet within our hearts he remains alive through treasured memories. As we mourn Dragos's departure, may God's peaceful embrace be his eternal rest.

Dragos touched so many people’s lives and leaves behind a void that will never fill. We became friends in medical school and stayed close for over thirty years, during which we both came to the US, did residency together, did fellowships, had ups and downs, supported each other, had kids and families. While still in medical school we were part of the League of Medical Students, which tried to help change the society into a better one. We reached too high, but Dragos never stopped thinking it was the right thing, and in that way worth all the effort, even if it was deemed to fail. In our group, he remained a moral compass that pointed to the things that matter. He decided to come to the US for residency and further training – just because that’s where we could get the best one. He did not know English, so he had to learn it while studying for the boards, with the dictionary on his side, starting with the most basic words. Yet he aced the exams. He had a passion for understanding the pathophysiology and why things happen. He made great charts and graphs; he taught others with enthusiasm. He was loved by patients and staff – he knew to make each and ever member of the team appreciated, no matter what their role was. He loved his family, his sister and her daughter, his kids and wife, and was always there for his friends. The last couple of years were so difficult for him, having lost both his parents over a short period of time. In a way he did not recover after that. Neither will we, after his loss, but how lucky we are to have had him with us, even if for so short. Thank you, and love you, Dragos.

Condolences to family, we are very saddened by your loss.

Will miss him!

Dragos was an excellent physician and colleague.
He taught me much while at Newport Hospital.
We had many chats about his love of Jazz, Coca Cola , and cats.
His passing is a tremendous loss to patients, current and former colleagues and of course more so to his family.
I am happy to have known him and saddened by his loss.

In struggling to come to terms with Dragos’s sudden death, I think back to when we first met. I was in college trying to choose a career, and Dragos and Daniela kindly took me into their home so that I could shadow Dragos at work over the course of the following week. His kindness, compassion, intelligence, and love when taking care of patients and just generally interacting with those around him were so inspiring to me. He is the reason I chose to become a doctor, and I still carry the foundational mantras of patient care that he impressed upon me into my practice each day. I will do my best to give back some part of the light that he shone so brightly back to the world in his absence. Thank you, Dragos. You will not be forgotten.

Nothing can really describe how heartbreaking this is. Thank you for being the most loving uncle one could ever wish for, not to mention the wittiest and funniest. Thank you for making me feel seen. You were always loved by all - not just for your charm but for your strength and heart and the richness of your inner life. There's a lot to say and little hope of truly articulating it. I always have and always will miss you.

Dear Mrs. Daniela Boerescu and Family
I am writing to express my deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. I recently learned about the passing of Dr. Dragos Cucu, and I wanted to reach out and share with you how much he meant to me.
I had the privilege of being one of Dr. Cucu's residents, and I am forever grateful for the impact he had on my life. He was an incredible teacher and mentor, always ready to share his knowledge and guide us. His educational rounds were a source of inspiration and learning, and he encouraged us to be responsible and compassionate healthcare professionals.
One of the things I admire most about Dr. Cucu was his belief in letting patients make their own decisions about their healthcare. He taught us that involving patients in their own treatment is crucial for their healing process. This lesson had a profound effect on me and has influenced the way I approach patient care.
Dr. Cucu had a wonderful sense of humor that brightened the room. I will always remember his cheerful voice when answering the phone, saying, "Hi, this is CUCU." He had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and valued, even in difficult situations.
He also had a genuine interest in people from different backgrounds. It was remarkable to see how he would greet individuals in their native language and share interesting facts about their countries. This created a sense of connection and made us feel like a close-knit community.
I will never forget a particular moment when Dr. Cucu's support and guidance made a significant impact. I was faced with a challenging situation of placing a central catheter in a critically ill patient who was in a life-or-death situation. Dr. Cucu's presence and belief in my abilities gave me the confidence I needed to successfully complete the procedure and save the patient's life. His skill and support were truly remarkable.
Dr. Cucu's passing is a great loss to the medical community, and I can only imagine the void it has created within your family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dr. Cucu's memory will live on through the lives he touched and the contributions he made to the field of medicine. Once again, please accept my heartfelt condolences. May you find comfort in the cherished memories of Dr. Cucu and the love and admiration of those whose lives he touched.
With deepest sympathy,
Armando Vera
