My fellow countryman ... Outside of vascular surgery we enjoyed chats in my pigeon Polish and he enjoyed my father-in-law's homemade sausage. We enjoyed a good laugh when Ann complained that the whole house reeked of garlic. Good times for sure, I was honored to know him.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Dr K. I learned a great deal from him working in the OR at University Hospital. It was a tough transition to operate alongside him to his being a patient. He handled that with grace and continued to teach me. He accomplished so much in his lifetime. I'm honored that our paths crossed. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
