I met Dr Becker when I first was a young nurse and in the old days his patients were sent to my floor along with Dr Mesina and Dr Prietos. I have very fond memories of him and our interactions when taking care of all those patients. Everything had to be just right and I learned the Dr Becker way which I have taught to others. When my nurse friends get together and talk about the good old days, he's always mentioned. Rest In Peace my friend
