Not sure what to say?

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of my dear friend, Dr.
J Crayton Pruitt. Please know that your father was not only the greatest surgeon I have ever had the pleasure to work with, but also the kindest, most gentle,,and considerate man I've ever met. He is the reason for my continued love of surgery,because of the principles he taught me. I will miss Dr.Pruitt as I miss my own father. His is a special place in heaven for those who do for others before considering his own needs....
