Dear Sondra and Fred,

I am sorry to hear of your father's death. I hope your memories of him bring you comfort in the days ahead.

I have fond memories of both of you and the times we spent together in Tucson.

All the best,

Dear Sondra, Fred, and Jackie, I am so sorry for your loss. I was your father's secretary at U of A Radiology Dept from 1971-1974. I truly enjoyed working for him. He was the best. We kept in touch for many years, but lost contact when he was in Texas. He was a great physician , radiologist and teacher.

Dear Sondra and Fred,
I am so sorry to hear about your father.
He will be missed by all of the people he touched.
I have thought of you both often and hope you are well.
