Read MoreWhat a guy. My woodworking buddy for years. Travelled to Aramont together for week long sessions to improve woodworking skills. Served together on the Board of the Northcoast woodturners Assn. Lots of tennis with King at the Skating club. I pray for him every Sunday at church. Was told by Randy Marcus, his orthopedic collegue, that he was the best orthopedic surgeon in the U.S. I believe it. Tom Heffernan

What a pal. Tennis, golf, fellow woodworker, lunch partner. Fellow Board member. King and I traveled to the Aromont school two years in a row to improve our woodworking skills. We had our Martini and glass of wine at dinner. Ritual with King. What a guy!

While everyone focused on the technical details of the child's surgery, Dr Heiple was muttering to himself about why a child so young would have this problem.
