We lost a dear member of our department this past week. Gerald T. Zambanini died on March 30, 2018. Jerry worked his entire 45-year career at UPMC McKeesport and was the last working CRNA at McKeesport to “drop ether.” He also was the first male CRNA to graduate from the McKeesport School of Anesthesia. A mentor to many SRNA students throughout the years, Jerry had just retired a short 18 months ago.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Jerry’s family and friends, he will be missed by many who had the pleasure to work alongside him.
