Dr B was able to remove all of the tumor and my son will turn 32 this August. We will alway be indebted to this wonderful man who saved our precious child.

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of this great man. He was our daughters neurosurgeon from 18 thru 1989. We hated to see him leave Columbus. He loved the children that he took care of and it showed in everything he did for them. I can remember him waiting to start surgery on Heather until I could braid her hair to limit how much he would have to cut off. He will always be in our hearts.

I was a classmate at Canisius and knew him very well in those days. I was sorry to hear of his death. My prayers are with his family.
