I met Dr. Bonessi in 1975 not long after my marriage and my husband being taken to McKeesport Hospital for Diabetes. Dr. Bonessi was one of the nicest, most positive Doctors I have ever met. Our condolences to his family during this time of sorrow and know that he will remain in our thoughts and prayers.
