I was saddening by your passing Dr. Sobczak; my son will not have been here today if it wasn't for you because of the difficult labor. Oswald is now 20 years old and a freshman at Marquette University. I am happy that I brought him to your office to see you when he returned from Africa. Miss your gentleness and your ever present authentic and contagious smile. May you rest in peace Great Doctor! You will be missed to the end of the age.

I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Sobczak's passing. Dr. Sobczak had been my OBGYN Dr. for over 15 years. He cured my endometriosis, delivered my 2 children and saved my life during the delivery. There are surely many other times that I could speak of. He was a very caring and compassionate person. He will be sadly missed.
January 15, 2011
Reading all these beautiful messages has brought tears to my eyes. I have been very saddened by the passing of Dr Sobczak. He was a great man and an excellent doctor. He brought my two beautiful baby boys into this world and I will never forget that. Our thoughts and prayers and with his family.

I've never met another doctor that cared so much about his patients. After helping my husband and I through our first miscarriage. He then helped me through my pregnancy, as my husband was out of state for his job with the ARMY. Since my husband wasn't granted his emergency leave for the delivery of our daughter, Dr. Sobczak scheduled my induction for Memorial Day weekend so that my husband could fly home for the 4 day weekend to be there for the birth.
I'm so deeply saddened at the loss of this great man. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
January 11, 2011
He is the best OBGYN that anybody could ask for. I only wish I could have seen him one last time. He is unforgettable.

He spent his life caring for people..I only wish I could have returned the favor. Since I heard the news about his illness, I tought of him on a daily basis with a broken heart. I pray his family find peace and have hope that one day they will see each other again. I will keep his family in my prayers.

How do you say goodbye to a man who not only delivered all four of your children, but literally saved the life of the last?
On Oct. 1, 2003, I drove myself into Dr. Sobczak's office, 3 weeks before my due date. I hadn't been feeling any movement from the baby, and although I hated doing the movement checks that he made us all do, I was doing them and I knew I needed to be seen. Dr. Sobczak ended up monitoring me for an hour or so, and although there was a heartbeat, he was uncomfortable with the fact that there was no movement and trusted his own intuition. I was sent to the hospital to be induced and he was going to meet me at the hospital to deliver the baby a few hours later. But, once I arrived, my delivery had turned into an emergency situation and he was paged immediately. This amazing man arrived in time to perform an emergency C-section and delivered our son, Aidan, like I was an Indy Car at a pit stop. It turned out that 80% of Aidan's blood had drained into my uterus and we were losing him quickly by then. In fact, when Aidan came out, he was very grey, almost white. I remember Dr. Sobczak holding him up to show him to me, briefly, before turning to him and asking, "So, how would you like to turn pink?". (I think it was then that I knew he was going to be okay.) He received 2 blood transfusions and was in ICU for 10 days.
Today, Aidan is a healthy, thriving and hilarious 7 year old little boy, thanks to Dr. Sobczak and his gift of common sense and delivering babies. One of the greatest pleasures I've had was on a day when I ran into Dr. Sobczak at a Brewer game. Aidan was 5, and I was given the wonderful opportunity to introduce these two boys to each other. Two people who I considered to be bonded in life forever. I remember looking at Aidan and thinking, "You have NO IDEA how important this man is to you." But, I promise he will one day. The famous scrubs picture of the two of them has always sat at his bedside.
Finally, later I found out, shortly after Aidan was born, that Dr. Sobczak was at Mayfair with his children when he received my emergency call. I guess he handed them a cellphone, $20 bucks, and said, "Call your mom to come pick you up". That just makes me smile a little, because I know the version Aidan will hear is how Dr. Sobczak went into a phone booth, changed into his scrubs, and arrived like the true hero he is. That was just the kind of man he was. He was such a wonderful, wonderful man with a wonderful, wonderful family.
He was as close to Superman as we'll ever know.

I honestly can't get Dr. Sobczak out of my mind. Think about him every day. My husband and I tried to get pregnant for over a year and a half ...ended up adopting a baby from Guatemala. Six months after he was home, I finally became pregnant. I was so shocked that they literally had to show me the heart beat for me to believe it. I was getting the ultrasound and the nurse came back in and said..I saw Dr. Sobczak in the hall and said "guess who's pregnant"..and after he heard he said "praise be Jesus" ..then he came in to congratulate us. Weeks later we thought we miscarriaged and ended up in that same room again with a very worried look on Dr. Sobczak's face...but then it turned around after we still saw the heart beat. We all gasped for air. Ahhh the memories I can't believe he's gone...And I too, delivered my little girl the day of a Brewer game and the day before his son's graduation party. His rememberance card is at my desk at work.......this man got me through some of the most difficult stages of my life - precanerous cell surgery and so many biopsies, thinking I miscarried, circloge, bedrest (with extreme depression)and then finally an early delivery. All the bad news/test results he gave me and then I end up saying goodbye to him first.... Such a wonderful man.....like a father..
December 30, 2010
I am so sad to hear of Dr Sobczak's passing. He delivered all three of my children and cared for me during a painful first miscarraige. He had a way to calm and comfort situations with his kind heartedness and humor. In fact, we scheduled an induction around opening day of the brewers game per his request. . . he said he didn't want to miss it. And so be it. . . my last baby girl was born on 4/03/08. I remember laughing during delivery at something he and my husband were joking about. Next thing I know, there was my baby. May peace find you and heal the hearts of the one's you loved. Thank you for bringing my blessings to life.

It seems too small to add that I, too, am shocked that so warm and lively a man has gone. I thank God for him. I wouldn't have my beautiful children without him. Thank you for letting me know that I will see him again through faith.

I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Sobczaks death. He will be missed very much for his laughter and kind spirited nature. Dr. Sobczak was an angel on earth and I'm honored to have had the opportunity to be his patient for 11+ years. I will keep your family in my prayers for comfort and peace. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

I was so sad to hear that Dr. Sobczak was ill, and of his passing. He was my OB doctor when I was pregnant two years ago. I struggled for almost 13 years with infertility. When I first learned that I was pregnant in 2008, I was shocked and so nervous, because I had several miscarriages in the past. I went to his clinic as a walk in. Thank GOD, he was there for me. I selected Dr. Sobczak with no hesitation after I talked with him and explained him my difficult situation. He guided me through my pregnancy, and delivered my daughter. I truly do not think she would be here if it was not for his skill and expertise. Dr. Sobczak you will be missed and in our hearts forever.

Dr. Sobczak has been my doctor since we moved to Milwaukee 6 years ago. He was truly one of the greatest doctors. His humor and his calmness got me thru a lot of unsure moments in my life. He delivered both of my children and saved my daughter's life at birth. I truly do not think she would be here if it was not for his skill and expertise. He will missed and in my thoughts for years to come.

Katie, Drew, and Alex~
I hope you never tire hearing about the wonderful things your dad accomplished in his short life and the memories he has left for you and others. I see all the tributes to your dad, the doctor. He was Dennis, the neighbor, dad, and fellow parishioner, and friend to our family. We've got many memories of your family together in church together. May the many memories you share keep you company with a smile. He will be watching over you and guiding your way. Our thoughts and prayers have been with your dad and you all for months and will continue.
December 19, 2010
I was so sad to hear that Dr.Sobczak, was ill, and of his passing. He had been my doctor for about 25 years. He operated on me three times and I always calmed down when I saw him come in. He had my complete trust and confidence as a doctor and a person. He always took excellent care of me, was kind and gentle and made any fear I had drift away. I'm sure he did this for all of his patients. I worked with him at St.Mary's the last couple of years. All of the staff of St. Mary's is saddened and will miss him. My thoughts are with his family especially his children at this difficult time. Just know how much good your dad did and that he was loved by many people. Jill Zamsky West Allis

A friend recommended Dr. Sobczak to me when I was looking for an OB-GYN, and I am so glad she did. He made the annual visits something to look forward to, instead of something to dread. He delivered all three of my sons, coming in even though he was not on call. He genuinely cared about my health and well being. I loved talking and laughing with him. Rest in peace, Dr. Sobczak. You will be missed.

Dr. Sobczak became my doctor about 13 years ago from a recommendation from my sister. We both loved having him as our doctor. He also delivered our babies. Dr. Sobczak allowed my husband to catch our daughter at birth. We were very appriciative of his kindness, gentleness, and genuiness. He was not only a good doctor, but a great man with a great sense of humor and a great sense of compassion. My condolences go out to his family. He will be missed by many!

I was so saddened to hear of Dr Sobczak's passing. I too, had the privilege and pleasure of working for and with Dr Sobczak. He was truly a wonderful man, an excellent doctor and all aound lovable teddy bear kind of guy with the most keen sense of humor and hearty laugh. He was the hands down the funniest, best boss in the world, who made coming to work a joy. He was dearly loved by his patients, and his staff - We truly Thank You, his family, for sharing this awesome man with all of us - we all were so blessed to have known him and shared time with him. Our world has lost a very special man but our memories of him are very present and he will be remembered very fondly.

With much sadness I express my sincerest sympathies to the Sobczak family. The world has lost a wonderful man and doctor. If it were not for him, my first daughter may never have been born. I will be forever grateful to him. Thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. He will be greatly missed.
December 17, 2010
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Sobczak while I was pregnant with my daughter. Dr Sobczak was an amazingly caring person who made a nervous first time mother dealing with a high risk pregnancy feel at ease. He will truly be missed. My condolences and prayers to his friends, family, and colleagues.

"I met Dr. Sobczak when learning of my pregnancy 17 years ago and have been his patient ever since. He delivered my only child who is now graduating from high school. He spoke of you three children so often and again two months ago at my most recent appointment. It was always so apparent how proud he was of each of you. He also spoke so fondly of you Terre at this past appointment. I do not think I can adequately express how much your father has meant to me as my physician and friend through many laughs and some tears. As you already know, there is none other like him. I will miss him always. My heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends and especially you children."

I chose Dr. Sobczak out of the phone book over 17 years ago, intending to switch to a female OBGYN after that first appointment. I was so impressed with Dr. Sobczak that I stayed with him all of these years. He helped bring my two beautiful daughters into the world and I loved hearing him laugh - it took the edge off every time! I was looking forward to seeing him in March and was stunned and saddened to hear of his illness and passing. May God be with his family and friends during this time of grief and always. My husband and I will remember him fondly.
December 17, 2010
I was a patient of Dr. Sobzcak's for over 15 years. He guided me through numerous surgeries for endometriosis, infertility, high risk pregnancy, and the birth of my beautiful daughter. I have never met a doctor so compassionate, kind, or with such a sense of humor. You will be deaply missed. My heart goes out to his children and family. Dr. Sobczak, you were one of a kind and I will always be greatful to you and miss you. Susie

My family and I were very saddened to hear about the loss of Dr. Sobczak. I was a patient of Dr. Sobczak for about 20 years. He was a very caring and kind person. He guided our oldest daughter when she wanted to be in her youngest sister's delivery 19 years ago. He also was there for me through many tests and surgeries. Dr. Sobczak will be dearly missed. Our Deepest Sympathy to his children and the staff at ObGyn. Cherish his memories.

I was a patient of Dr Sobczak's when he first started. I was so young and so was he. He was the most compationate doctor I have ever known.He never rushed you out the door and I can't remember an appointment that didn't include a lot of laughter. I will miss him so much. What a kind and funny and warm person.

Dr. Sobczak was my doctor for over 19 years. He guided me through two difficult pregnancies and deliveries with kindness, compassion and a good dose of humor. I can still hear him laughing that big laugh. When I look at my beautiful daughters, now 12 and 10 years old, I am forever grateful. We will miss you very much. May God bless and keep your family.

I was priviledged to be a patient of Dr. Sobczak for the past 17 years. He delivered my two sons, Alex and Tim. When I was afraid before surgery, Dr. Sobczak held my hand and didn't let go until the anesthesiologist put me under. He remembered and did the same thing for two additional surgeries. Not an appointment went by where we did not share a few laughs including my last visit a month ago. He had a wonderful sense of humor. Dr. Sobczak made you feel like a very special patient but he was a truely special doctor. He was a man of great caring and compassion.
My sympathies to his family, friends, and staff. Dr. Sobczak will be dearly missed.

It is with my deepest sympathy that I sign this today. Dr. Sobczak was a wonderful doctor and I was blessed to have had him deliver my children. I remember in the delivery room him saying hut, hut, hike! as my first son was born. He changed my life with a recent surgery and I am so sadened to have heard of his passing to late to express my gratutide and thankfulness for 18 years of service. My prayers go out to his family and coworkers and I am sure he will be remembered in every child he delivered and every heart he touched. Thank you, You will be missed
Thank you for our Miracles.. we will be forever greatful

We struggled for 10 years with infertility. Dr Sobczak walked us thru all the way. Until we had our miracle baby #1 in Nov of 2004. It took 5 more years for us to get pregnant again and we lost baby #2. Baby #3 was delivered 4 weeks early on 4/28/10. He joked when he arrived at the hospital that he wasn't dressed for delivery and that this was going to ruin his shoes. We laughed and joked all the way to the OR and I asked if the pre-show was included with the price of delivery or would that be extra. His sense of humor was incredible. He made you feel so comfortable and at ease in very uncomfortable and uneasy situations. At one point during my last pregnancy we had to have my appt from the doorway as he had had some tests done and wasn't to be around pregnant women. He had a way of making you feel like you were his favorite most important patient. He remembered small personal details of stories you told. I was very blessed to have been a patient of Dr. Sobczak. Thank you so much! You will forever be in our hearts.

Dr. Sobczak saved my life by diagnosing my ovarian cancer early. It was a shock considering I was 7 months pregnant! He would stay late with me until I was done crying and felt I was safe to drive home. Over the years I thanked him for everything he did. Always polite, he would say he was just doing his job. I am thankful he has been in my life, and for all the support he has given me over the years. You will be missed.

So very shocked and saddened by this terrible loss of such a fine doctor! My deepest sympathies to his 3 children, whom he so adored and loved, and to Dr. Borkovec, whom he spoke of very fondly when I saw him last year. I had the honor of being one of his patients..he became my doctor back in 1992 when I was pregnant with the first of my 3 children. He was so compassionate and dedicated to all his patients. He had such a great sense of humor, and his laugh, as others have noted, was so infectious. Words cannot describe how truly missed he will be to all of us. The world has lost a great man.
Thanks, Dr. Sobczak for all the great years of being my doctor. May God bless you and your 3 children, and keep you all in His loving hands.
December 16, 2010
Dr. Sobczak's family-My heart is at a loss at finding out the news about Dr. Sobczak. I have been a patient of his for 10 years and felt so comfortable in his care. I have had numerous OB/GYNs in different states and never have felt so safe and cared for until I met him. I feel honored that he took care of me. My last visit to him was in August-I never had a clue he was so ill. His smile radiated and he listened to my woes and cheered me on. He was a fantastic man! May he find peace and rest well with G-d. Find comfort in G-d,knowing He did not leave you in the most difficult time,but rather He is carrying you all.

Dear Sobczyk Family,
I am truely sorry for your loss. Words can not explain the support, understand and care that I received from Dr. Sobczyk. He always made time through my difficult pregancies and other female problems that came later. I have fond memories of looking at all the picture albums that were kept in the exam rooms of babies he help bring into this world and know that people cared enough to keep sending him those pictures. The world has lost a great and compassionate doctor.

There could be no better legacy than the one left by Dennis Sobczak. Not only was he a skilled physician, he was a compassionate and generous man. As my physician for the last 20 years he helped my through health issues and difficult pregnancies. As a loving person he held my hand and cried with me during difficult times and laughed, joked and rejoiced with me during happy times. It is a testament to his generous spirit that I, and so many other women, actually looked forward to our appointments each year; it was like visiting an old friend. If not for the kindness and genuine concern of this wonderful man, my husband and I would not have our 3 beautiful children. My sincere sympathies to his family, friends and loved ones. How greatly he will be missed.

Dear Dr Sobczak,
My words will never be able to express how grateful I am to have had you as a doctor for the last 20 years. Thank you for saving my sisters life and for saving mine. Without you, we would have never survived. With your kindness and gentleness you guided each of us through cancer and we needed your help. God needed another Angel. Thank you again for saving our lives, we are entirely grateful to you.

Dr. Sobczak was my wonderful doctor for almost 20 years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Cynthia, and to his children Kathryn, Drew, and Alex. Memories will somehow make these very difficult days bearable. Dr. Sobczak had the knack of making you feel more positive about yourself during difficult times, more upbeat when you were sad. As we all know, his laughter was absolutely contagious! I am blessed to have known him.

Dr. Sobczak was a wonderful doctor. He will be greatly missed. I wish I could of had seen him one last time. He was amazing and went out of his way. I remember one holiday weekend I had called the after hours line and had a problem. He told me what to do and hung up. I got a call 2 mins later and he told me to meet him at the office because he could not let it go through the long weekend because he would keep thinking about it. I am forever grateful for all the things he has done for me. I have only known him for 3 yrs but will have a lifetime of memories with my 2 babies.

My deepest sympathies to Dr Sobczak's entire family, friends & co-workers. I am sincerely saddened to hear of Dennis's passing. I had the honor & pleasure to work with Dr Sobczak @ OB-GYN Affiliates @ Elmbrook Hospital. He was truely a kind, gentle, bright physician, with an endearing sense of humor, who was a joy to work with. Many of his staff admired & respected him & became his patients & friends. I imagine God in Heaven welcomed him to the life hereafter, with the same words the only Doctor I ever worked with said every day..."Oh, What A Beautiful Day!" God Bless You & Terre, Cindy, Katie, Drew & Alex.

Kathryn, Drew and Alex: Your father has been my doctor for the past 10 years. He saved my life through a surgery and many procedures. He also saved the life of my daughter Christina (now 4 years old). Without his expertise, Christina may never have been born. I am shocked and saddened by his death. Many tears have been shed. The day Christina was born (June 3rd 2006), he missed a baseball game with either Drew or Alex (not sure which). However, he promised me that since we walked hand and hand through my pregnancy that he would be there when she was born and of course, he kept his word. Thank you for sharing your father with me and my family. I lost my own father at a young age, and I understand and empathize with your loss. He will forever be in your memories. No one can ever take that from you. I will miss him greatly. Take care, one day at at time.

For nearly 20 years, Dr. Sobczak was my doctor. He always put me at ease, even through some difficult times. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Sobczak as my doctor and am incredibly overwhelmed with sadness by this tremendous loss. My prayers are with his family and friends. Dr. Sobczak, thank you for the wonderful care you gave me!

I am truly blessed to have had such an amazing doctor for almost 20 years.Dr. Sobczak delivered all 6 of our children.With the oldest going on 19 and our youngest being 4. Our youngest was breech and Dr.Sobczak knew I had to go home and tend to 5 other children, so a c-section wasn't in my cards. His expertise and wisdom delivered my (breech) baby boy naturally and safely.I will never forget his infectious laugh and sense of humor.My daughter became his patient in Sept.(almost 17 years after he delivered her)He really touched our lives..You will truly be missed Doc..Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sobczak family,(especially the kids)Thank you for sharing your dad with sooo many of us.He was a proud dad and I will always remember what the M.D. in his name stood for to you..(My Daddy)

Earlier in my life I could never have imagined looking forward to a doctor's appointment -- until I met Dr. Sobczak.
I was referred to Dr. Sobczak back when his clinic was on North Avenue. From the beginning, we were more like old friends who met once a year at Christmas than doctor & patient. He was happy to see me and I was happy to see him. We would spend most of the appointment catching up on each others' lives. I think many of his patients had the same experience.
Thank you, Sobczak family and Terre, for sharing such an amazing soul with the rest of us. I adored Dr. Sobczak and will never quite get over his death. What will we do without him?
With Great Sympathy,
-Lisa Ann Koenigs

Katie, Drew, Alex and Terre,
I am so saddened by the loss of Dr. Sobczak. He delivered our youngest two sons. Going to appointments with him was more like seeing a stand up comedian than a doctor. Anyone who knew me at the end of my last pregnancy knew I couldn't have the baby until Dr. Sobczak came back from his annual camping trip and I had Danny the day after he came home. You should be proud of how many lives he has touched. His legacy is all the babies that he has delivered, and all the patients he has had. I've been praying for Dr. Sobczak and your family and will continue to do so. My father was honored to know him professionally at Elmbrook as well. Heaven is truly blessed with an angel in Dr. Sobczak. He will be missed.

I am shocked and saddened to hear about Dr. Sobczak. He delivered both my girls and he was so much more than a Doctor. He was a wonderful, kind, deeply sympathetic man who knew how to make you feel better no matter what. Heaven is much richer and earth is missing a great soul. He will be missed.

Dear Ernie, Shirley, Kathryn, Drew, and Alex,
Dr. "D" was my doctor for 10 years. He was a kind man who made you feel comfortable and could just as easily make you laugh. I also had the privilege of knowing him as a St. Mary parishioner who attended the 9 AM Mass. He contributed as a choir member;he had a wonderful gift for music. Dennis also gave of his time at our yearly parish festival. His domain was the grill where he prepared hundreds of brats and hot dogs at the St. Mary ethnic foods booth.
Anyone who knew Dennis will miss his presence. I sure will.
Sincerely,
Susan and Jim Nash

Dr. Sobczak will live on his beautiful children that he was so proud of and all of the babies that he delivered. He helped me through a horrible miscarriage. When I did get pregnant again, I was so scared of it happening again and he was so patient and kind. He let me come in just to listen to the heartbeat. He performed an emergency c section with the first and the second was a planned c-section. I trusted him without question. Because of him, I have two beautiful healthy boys and will always be grateful to him. He went above and beyond for me and for both babies. I will never forget him. He was the greatest doctor I will ever have. My heart goes out to his family, I can't imagine what you are going through and how much you will miss him every moment of every day.

Many here have mentioned Dr. Sobczak delivering their children. I would like to acknowledge his special care and kindness to my grandmother, who was in her mid-90s when she was his patient. He was so good to her and took care never to rush her, no matter how slowly she was moving on a given day. I never had the privilege of meeting Dr. Sobczak, but our family so appreciated the compassionate spirit of this wonderful man. He's gone too soon, but loved by so many.

Dr Sobczak delivered our Sydney at 28 weeks and 5 days. My wife, Krista was admitted at 23 weeks to St Joe's Hospital. Dr Sobczak was one of the driving forces for Krista to keep on going at her trying times with his many visits while she was at St Joe's. We will always be thankful to him and the staff at the NICU at the hospital! We are truly sorry for your loss. Kevin Kerstein

Dennis touched the hearts and lives of many and will never be forgotten. I have known Dennis since our high school days at CMH and for my doctor the past 16 years. His laugh was infectious and he always had a gentle way of telling you to work on being healthier. He was a gentle man and was so proud of all of you Katie, Drew and Alex. He will never be forgotten and will be greatly missed. I just saw him in October and he never missed a step - still smiling and making me laugh, giving me advice on my daughter's college endeavors based on his experience with his own children...what will we do without him?

Sobczak Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passsing of Dr. Sobczak. My husband and I were so blessed to have had him as my ob/gyn. Because of his knowledge and dedication in the area of obstetrics my husband and I welcomed 3 wonderful children into the world. I am proud to say that over Dr. Sobczaks 20 year career I was there for 17 of those years. He will truly be missed. My family and I hope you are able to find some peace during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

My Condolences go out to the Sobczak Family and Terre. Dr. Sobczak was a one of a kind Doctor, one that any woman would hope to have. Dr. Sobczak was my doctor for the past 20 years. He was there to deliver all 4 of my children and was there for me more than I would expect a doctor to be when I suffered a terrible loss. His laughter and sense of humor will never be forgotten. He was a very understanding and caring person. He was very important to me and my family. I will miss him so much.

I am saddened to hear the news of Dr. Sobczaks passing. He was my doctor and if it was not for him my children would not be here today. He was such a compassionate doctor who really cared for his patients. We moved from Wisconsin in 2005, and I still have not found a doctor like Dr.Sobczak.
My thougts and prayers go out to his family...

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of one of the greatest men The world has ever known.
Dr. Sobczak was THE BEST Doctor I have ever had the privilege to be around. He was so kind and helpful through all of our pregnancies, good and bad.
He made our lives better, just being by our sides during our ups & downs. I am saddened deeply that I couldn't return the favor.
I meant for the past two years to send a letter with photos and it was one of those things that became a 'some day' thing. I wish he would have known how his name was as familiar in our family as our own. He touched our lives in a way that no one has before or since.
His laugh, smile, concern, and hug were bright points in sad times of our lives. He truly was a great man and will be missed.
Our hearts, thoughts & prayers go out to those missing him.
