I always liked the man. He had a good views and reminded me alot of my father. Gentle spoken man.

Our family has greatly appreciated Dr. Koop's quiet caring for each patient. My mother called him from South Carolina on behalf of a dying baby whose Bible College student parents had no money. Dr Koop agreed by phone to do his best, so Mother raised the air fare. Dr. Koop provided the surgery gratis and saved that little boy's life. Mother had taken me to him years earlier after I almost died and we knew by experience of his compassion. Now, I hope my husband who also died Feb. 25th can meet this wise, loving man.

Thank you for your outstanding service to your country. You were the best force to emerge from the Reagan Administration, a great surprise to all, and you earned the respect of so many with your reason and sensibility. I will always greatly admire you for your wisdom, your courage and your devotion to the advancement of public health over political expediency. Many can still learn from your works.

What a loss to the world. May 2Co.1:2-4 bring comfort to this family during this time of sorrow.Barb(NO)
