I just saw this. I was one of his patients from the late 60s through the early 80s. I underwent 3 different surgeries over 14 years and I'm still kicking. I credit him with me living to see age 7, then 17, then 21. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing but I'm also happy he had a long life. My story is not unique and there are many others alive today thanks to his care.
