I wanted to look up Dr. Kovan, just to see if he was in Palm Springs. My therapy ended when he retired in 1990 from a private practice at Brotman Memorial Hosp. I regret that he is no longer with us. He was a warm kind and very honest person. I felt comfortable asking him about anything, and himself. He did not place himself bigger or better than me or another patient/friend of mine. I loved him and so did my friend. He was an excellant doctor for me. I feel sad I did not look him up sooner than today to give him my heartfelt gratitude for help and showing such trustworthy with this kind and warm wonderful person/doctor. This kind human being who did so much in helping lives. To his family my prayers are with your loss and the way I feel I think I will do a lot of praying for strength of the knowlege of his passing. I can't tell you how sorry I am . Kathy moved to Flagstaff '97.

Was looking for Marc's info and saw this about Bob. Connie my thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. I loved golfing with him and talking to him about God. He and I were so different yet I felt so accepted by him. Peace be with you, With great affection, David Alvarez ([email protected])
