Dear Allen we went to visit your grave site last week , there was no marker, had trouble figuring where exactly you were , went to the office to make sure we were in the right spot, looking forward to coming back and seeing your headstone, miss you terribly, rest in peace great soul !!!

Thinking of the incomparable Dr. Alan Londe today on the first anniversary of his passing.  A talented and caring doctor who personified the word mensch, he was treasured by all. 

This world's just not the same without our reliable Dr. Londe !
There have been so many times I have needed medical advice for our family, and always reached out for him.  Now that "reach" into the beyond is a little far !  His smile, friendly demeanor, and caring attitude will always be missed.  So many other doctors could have taken lessons from him.
He is missed !

What a kind, dear soul Alan was to so many.  I never remember  him , not being a happy and kind pleasure to  work with. He was generous to a fault.  Many a day we spent  in the O.R.  and always  fun and pleasant. Alan Londe was a rare  individual, and the world lost a good man when he passed. You are  very missed, by those  lucky enough to have  known you.  


I just read of Dr Londe’s passing and we are so sorry.   He was a really smart doctor and he cared about his patients. He was always thinking outside the box and sincerely wanted to help those who sought his care.  One of the things I remember him adamantly saying was that if doctors listened to their patients, that would go a long way in treating them.  He will be remembered and his shoes will be way too hard for anyone to fill.

I remember the fist time I met Alan .. he operated on me.. among others .. returned  to his home from a full day  and made pasta with smoked salmon …and  THEN  went out late that night for an emergency appendectomy on a teenage boy .  about   30 years later he opened his beautiful home to me and my pup  Hudson until we found a safe place to live after a transfer  .  His hospitality and humor is as memorable  as his stamina . . and his love for my friend of 4o years Sandy is eternal . 

Sandy,
Bob and I are so saddened about Alan's passing.  I guess we never thought a heart that big could ever give out.
While the Barbados Bunch is slowly dwindling here on Earth, we know Heaven has become a better place.  Dennis and Charlie are surely hosting cards games and wine tastings.  And Jana we're sure has filled it with beautiful flowers.....and Alan's jokes will make it a much happier place. We can almost hear him giggling at his own jokes!
We will miss Alan greatly, but just thinking about him will put smiles on our faces.
Love, Sue and Bob Karn

Sandy…Just learned of Alan’s death.  So sorry. Alan is at the top of my list of positive St Louis experiences.  A very sweet, caring and considerate man who brought many  a smile to our faces after one of his inimitable jokes.  I know you will miss him but think of all the good times you had together.

You Alan Londe were  the kindest, man one would be blessed to know.  Working with you  was always fun. You were always pleasant, and happy.  We have lost a good soul. May your new journey be filled with happiness. 

Alan and Sandy and family.  May Alan's light still shine brightly in the lives of all Boy Scouts who he was so devoted to as a Camp Doctor, in the memories of patients he treated  and in the hearts of families of love ones he cured.  The community has lost a talented surgeon, colleague and friend.  This phrase, from the West Point Military Academy Alma Mater, sends a special message, "And when our work is done, our course on earth is run, may it be said, Well done,  Be thou at peace."
Sharon Parrish, long time friend


I will miss one of my favorite people.
He added a lot of joy to my life.

Pam and I have so many great memories of Alan that we will always cherish. All of the fun filled holiday parties that he and Sandy would have at their home. The awesome summer pool parties and wine events that they put on. My 60th birthday party that they so graciously hosted with over 50 of our friends. He was such a loyal and loving friend to so very many.  We will miss him dearly and will always remember how fortunate we were to have had him in our lives.            God Speed Alan
                                           Love Pam & Skip 🙏❤️🙏❤️

Alan shared in our life in many ways.  We were neighbors, friends and he became a mentor to our son to become a doctor.  We will all miss his laughter and beaming smile.  And we knew that no matter how much time would pass, he was always there for us.  We could always count on him.

As Most of you know, Alan was the Most Genuine and caring person we’ve ever had the Pleasure of Calling a Friend! My father and he were the best of Friends and Chrissie and I were so lucky to have Traveled and gotten to know he and Sandy so closely! He will be missed by Many, but my Father has his Buddy by his side in Heaven sipping wine and setting the Texas Hold’em table for me and our Friends. Looking so forward to being with them again! Love Matt & Chrissie

We are very saddened to hear of Dr. Londe´s passing. His big smile and hearty laugh will be greatly missed. He was one of the most sincere, caring and honest gentleman we have ever known. He took great care of us over the past 30 years. He was a fantastic doctor! He loved his family so much. He talked about you all the time and was so very proud of you. Our heartfelt sympathies and thoughts are with you. And our prayer is that you find peace and comfort as you share the loving memories of your dear husband, father, grandfather, family member, colleague, and friend.  
Again, with deepest sympathy, 
Mike & Jeanne Anglin

I never knew why people came into our  lives until I met Dr Londe. Summer of 1986, My mother owned a huge cleaning company. So I remember his house. Gorgeous! But I remember this day because Dr Londe had a huge smile on his face and looked like Chevy Chase . I was star struck !! Plus he giggled at me because I was so intrigued with the bidet. What  I didn’t know is  25 years later he would coach me through the toughest battle of my life. 
I seriously went to his office but always had a smile on my face. He made me feel” life is what you make of it”. And if you are smiling nothing else matters especially Cancer. I will forever miss his jokes and his smiling face!  I will be forever be  in his  debt. I will forever smile in your honor ! GOAT ! See you later  Dr Londe !! It’s never Good bye! 

I had the pleasure to work alongside Dr. Londe.  He loved helping others; even the staff.  His sense of humor was always appreciated.  He really got me good with the fart machine.  His laughter and expertise will greatly be missed.  Dr. Londe will forever hold a place in my heart ❤️. 

Whether sharing a great bottle of wine at a spectacular event, or managing my battle with cancer, Alan was a marvelous person. We'd share social events as well as a joke, as only Alan could tell. I owe him my life because of his extraordinary skills and getting the very best care for me. He made things happen. He was always, always there. It's said a man dies twice-first when his body passes on. Second when his name is spoken for the last time. Alan will live on for a very long time.

Alan was an amazing man. I enjoyed interacting with him both on a professional and personal level. He always had a smile, a joke, or a kind word. He will be missed.

"Oh, are you related to Alan Londe?" I can't tell you the number of times i heard that over the last five decades. And, I always answered, "Yes, I am!" Because i could tell from the persons tone and body language that they, a friend or a close relative had been helped in a profound way by Alan. Whether it was a store clerk, auto mechanic, Scouter, business colleague or my first visit to a new doctor, "Are you related to Alan Londe?" meant I had an instantly elevated relationship with that person because of Alan. 
Alan was a kind, generous and honorable person that touched the lives of so many families in the St. Louis area. I have no doubt that sometime in the future I'll hear, Oh, Are you related to Alan Londe?, and I'll reply, Yes, I am!, and think of him and smile.


Alan was my Facebook friend graduated from same highschool never meant him personally always answered my questions, the world a better place since he was here he impacted a lot of people

Dr londe was a dear friend who I loved for 42 years ,being on this earth without him will never be the same …..

I worked with him at Barnes West for many years. I remember when he would have a patient on our floor who wasn't wanting to go home the day after surgery, he would joke with me that I could take them home with me. My response to that would always be he could do that because he had more room. He was always a ray of sunshine when he came to our floor to round. Will be missed.

He is a wonderful Human Being !
Amazing Doctor!

Dr. Londe was a great surgeon and a kind person. He was always involved and provided great leadership in the physician committees at Faith Hospital and Barnes Jewish West County Hospital. 

They say friends are the family we choose. I will continue to cherish you,  my great friend Dr Londe 
One of the most outstanding surgeon and gentleman, whom I adored.  I sincerely realize,I’m a better person after knowing you.
Thanksgiving will never be the same without  your open invitations.
You were such an outstanding host and chef.
Who always prepared the most delicious meals, desserts and beverages.
The best part of the evening came while sitting around your table and enjoying your numerous stories and unlimited jokes.
Painfully  missing you, my great friend, but I know you’re sitting around a long table surrounded  by  God’s angels and sharing your limitless stories  and  outstanding wit!
Thank you for the blessing of your friendship 


Alan was a cousin, medical counselor and friend in Scouting. I was at the ceremonial event where he received The Silver Beaver Award, which is the highest honor an adult can receive from the Boy Scouts. One of my fondest memories is our time spent together at many Boy Scout summer camps where he volunteered as the camp's doctor. In August 1989, I took a group of scouts to visit the National Jamboree in Virginia. Late at night we were looking for food at the camp and wandered into the Medical Tent. To my surprise, there was Alan manning the late night shift. We talked, had some food and departed. Alan was a warm giving person and a roll model for us all.
