I worked for Dr. Kousseff for several years as the transcriptionist for the pediatric genetics dept. What a wonderful, brilliant, kind and compassionate man. He loved his patients and their families and did his best to bring them comfort as well as the best medical knowledge about their children. He was a wonderful boss, and a wonderful man. Brilliant, compassionate, and dedicated.

No one will ever forget his lectures on the phakomatoses at Regional and National Genetics Conferences. It was an honor to have known, learned from, and worked with Dr. Boris Kousseff.
