Dr Bruce Rowell, from Chicago's Lawndale Christian Health Center, where Dr Umanos worked for more than 25 years, said his former colleague was "for many of us on staff, the paediatrician for our very own children".
He added: "This loss is a great loss for his family, for those of us he worked with as well as for the people of Afghanistan.
"He was a loving and caring physician who served all of his patients with the utmost of respect."
