I’m so sorry to learn of Dr. Marlowe’s passing. He was my doctor for many years, always displaying friendliness and kindness, along with his excellent medical skills. He was soft spoken and put one at ease. I was also impressed by his recall of my life. He took the time to get to know you. I was a little sad when he retired and I had to find a new doctor! To his family: I’m sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Dr. Marlowe delivered my daughter in 1994. He was also my mother’s provider and between us, we called him “Chuck.” :>) When I went into labor on a cold January night, I told my mom to PLEASE not let me call him “Chuck” during the delivery. He was a wonderful man and a comforting soul. I am so sorry for your loss…
So sorry to read of Chad’s passing. Thoughts and prayers for all.
Sorry to hear of Chad’ s passing, as we were Hastings High friends back in the Car days.Chad had the greatest MG ever, as he redid it himself. Condolences to his family.
My deepest condolences to the family. A truly kind, compassionate doctor.
So very sorry to learn of Chad’s passing. We were classmates at Hastings High . My condolences to your family.
Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Marlowe family.
I went to Dr. Marlowe several times and he was so kind and compassionate and truly a professional. He renewed my prescription without question and I am so saddened to learn of his passing. His family must be heartbroken. And what a handsome man he was! So sorry for the loss of this wonderful doctor.
Very sorry to learn of Chad’s passing. We were classmates at Hastings High, and also were members of the local Archery Club where we competed at tournaments around the state along side each other. My condolences to the Marlowe family.
To the family – I am shocked to read about Chad’s passing…our Dad, Del Austin, worked with your Dad at the J.M.McDonald Company in Hastings during our high school years. The four Austin kids (Larry, Ronnie, Judy, and Sharon) knew your family well. Charlie and Dad hunted white tail deer together while they were members of the Oregon Trail Bow Hunters Club. So sorry for your loss. All our best to each of you as you learn to live without this very talented and warm individual. Chad will be missed and our Class of ’64 will remember him fondly.
I remember Chad sitting at back by windows in Mr. Copely’s history class at Hasting High where we were classmates. One day Chad mentioned a philosophical idea he’d just found and led Mr. Copley and us into a vigorous discussion about that and other philosophies Mr. Copley then listed on the board for us to compare! I’m sorry we’ve lost Chad and wish the family fond memories to ease your loss. Thinking of all of you, and us, too. We miss you, Chad!
I am so very sorry to hear of Dr Marlowe’s passing. He was my dr from age 16 till he retired after my third my child. He was such a caring and sweet doctor. I was blessed to have known him and be under his care. My prayers and thoughts are with your family
Dr..Marlowe delivered my 4 children. He was an amazing doctor. I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers to the family🙏🏻
As a class member, was so sorry to learn of Chad passing. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
I am so sad to hear of Dr. Marlowe’s passing. He was my doctor all of my young adult life. He delivered by son (only child) with complications and was so kind and compassionate. I went to see him for my follow-up after my son was born and broke down crying telling him of the complication my son was facing medically and the fight I was facing with the insurance to cover his medical costs. After the examination he said “I hope this helps a little bit” and handed me the checkout sheet with a zero balance due. It was something I never forgot and have told the story many times. He truly was a compassionate dr. My prayers to the family and please know, he truly did make a difference in the lives of his patients.
My prayers go to all the Marlowe family and my friend Joelyn. The Marlowe and Austin families were connected. Charlie worked with our dad, Del Austin, at the Jm McDonalds warehouse .. My mother had a handful of good girlfriends and Dorothea was one of them. Chad was in my sister Judy’s class of 1964 .. Jocelyn was a year younger than me but we played Barbies together and would swing in her backyard and play with her dachshund dog. Chad was involved in archery with my dad and brother Ron. And Dr Marlowe was my doctor for my surgery and was very caring. I think of your family every time I drive past it when I return to Hastings, NE. Great memories. Chad was an outstanding man and professional. God Bless you all!
Joelyn and the entire Marlowe family: sincere sympathies on Chad’s passing. I know your hearts are broken.
The news of Chad’s death was so sad. I grew up with him in Hastings and have fond memories of him. My deepest condolences to his family.
Carolyn, Carol and I are surprised and saddened to learn of Chad’s passing. So many memories of our time together in Lincoln and Omaha. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your sons.
My condolences to the Marlowe Family. I was blessed being Dr. Marlowe’s OB/GYN triage nurse for several year’s at Indian Hills Methodist Clinic. His patient’s indeed loved him dearly and missed him when he retired. He was wonderful physician to work for. So sorry ..
I am so sad to learn that we no longer have this wonderful, kind soul on this side of Heaven. He delivered all four of my children and cared for me from age 25 through 38 when I relocated to another city. I gave birth to my last child at age 36. The morning after the delivery he commented ‘We’ve been at this 10 years. You about done? 44 healthy pregnancies and 4 healthy babies, I want to leave your childbearing years right there.” My husband and I appreciated his care, comfort and expertise. ‘ He is simply wonderful. Heaven…ENJOY. He is truly a delight. My prayers are with the family.
