Dr Athon was kind man. He was generous enough to let me live at his house for a year while I was engaged to his son John. He was such a good man always willing to help others.

Dr. Athon was a Christian gentleman. He called himself my shoestring relative because I have Athon on two lines of my family tree. He said they lost one line of the family during the Civil War. He was a key in finding my husbands cancer. Although it was in stage 4, it was just spread. My husband died a few days after Dr. Athon. I didnt realize your father had passed until a few hours ago. Sorry for your loss!
