Dear Susan and Robert, I was greatly saddened to hear of Uncle Bob's passing, but I know you and your family must be comforted by how much he will be missed by so many, and also by his incredible contributions to so many people and worthy causes during his long and productive life.

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Hepburn. As a student nurse at Hartford Hospital from '67 - '70, I had the priviledge of scrubbing in with Dr. Hepburn during my surgical rotation.

Dr. Hepburn was a true gentleman who gave more than he took - a man of compassion, mercy and unwavering intellectual curiosity. I always looked forward to (and will miss) our long wandering chats when I came to visit.

Thouhts and prayers, Sue and David as you say your good-byes to your Dad. He was a happy presence in our neighborhood on Pioneer Drive. May he rest in peace.

It was a privilege to know and to love Dr. Hepburn. He was a truly remarkable, kind and caring man. He will live on in our hearts forever. Sue, Rob and family, our thoughts are with you.
