Dr.Kioko was an amazing and caring doctor. I remember him for that and for his roast beef sandwiches I would get him from Roy Roger's when I worked for the doctors. I will also remember him for his smile.
Dr. Kioko, I pray that you are resting in Eternal Peace.

Dr. Kioko was my physician in the 70s and early 80s. He delivered 2 of my children by c-section and performed a hernia abdominal surgery as well. I held him in the highest regard and was always confident in the medical care he gave. He was a wonderful physician. My condolences to your family.

Mrs. Kioko, I worked for Dr. Kioko while I was in nursing school many years ago, he was an inspiration to me. I will always cherish his wisdom, for he was indeed a role model. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
