Being TPO's scrub nurse for over a decade was the single best experience of my O.R. career. His standard for excellence in doing what's right carried thru to us all who worked with him. He was a suburb boss, caring and generous. At times even Father like in support of some of my life's issues. I will miss him and we have lost a great surgeon. I wonder if he has played a round of golf with God yet!!

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. O'Farrell as an employee of KCGVS. He was a wonderful man, kind and generous, an excellent friend and boss. He was an exceptional Surgeon, a pleasure to assist in the OR...his patients appreciated the care they received and the nurses LOVED and respected him! He was old school in his manners and courtesy. His sense of humor was a delight. I will miss him and having lost my own father I feel deeply for his wife and children. Rest in Peace TPO.
