Lehnhoff Professor and chair of the UNMC Department of Internal Medicine. &#8220;He also had a passion for new knowledge and research and generated great questions. For a time, dermatology was a part of the department of internal medicine and he was a valued member of the department.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am saddened by the loss of my friend, colleague, and mentor,&#8221; said Kristie Hayes, M.D., associate professor of dermatology. &#8220;He was a prolific author, a talented researcher, and was highly esteemed within the dermatology community. He had such an engaging and gregarious personality; every conversation with Dr. Fusaro was memorable, and educational. I will miss his enthusiasm for life, his love for roses, and for dermatology.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When my academic office was located on the lower level of Swanson Hall, Dr. Fusaro was situated in an adjacent office,&#8221; said Tom Tape, M.D., professor and chief of the UNMC Department of Internal Medicine Division of General Internal Medicine. &#8220;From time to time, he would pop into my office to discuss an interesting scientific article that he had come across in the medical literature.  His passion for medical science was wide-ranging and included numerous topics outside of the conventional field of dermatology. His ability to discuss intelligently a wide range of scientific topics never ceased to amaze me. He was a true intellectual raconteur.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Fusaro was a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology, member of the American Academy of Dermatology and Sigma Xi.  He was a contributor of many articles to professional publications of which he was both proud and honored.<\/p>\n<p>A celebration of the life of Dr. Fusaro will be held on March 28 at 11 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Plattsmouth. Memorials may be given to the First Presbyterian Church.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"divqLgBsrbVTEex  Asga\"><!-- divqLgBsrbVTEex  Asga
