We still share with so many friends and relatives how great he was as a doctor and as a friend. We found a chiropractor in Florida that 's good ,but not as great as he was. We just miss your smiling face and your crazy jokes and antics. Rest in peace my friend. A special hello to Maria.

We miss him greatly and can't believe it's been that long since he passed. He was the best- as a chiropractor and a close friend.No matter what shape you were in going into his office, you always came out smiling and laughing. we still haven't found a chiropractor as good as him. We think of him often and always remember his crazy antics. My husband John and him were always trying to outdo one another. Rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.
