I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Lesser has passed. My late husband Joe and I were patients of Dr. Lesser 50 years ago. His guidance saved our marriage. He taught us how to be married and the marriage lasted over 51 years. We had three kids, all in solid marriages, and six granddaughters. It´s been a good tight, supportive family, even if we are spread across the country. None of that would have existed were it not for him. He was a great man and we owe him so much.
