I lived with the Doctor and family about 57 years ago
He delivered my baby at Scar. Gen Hospital.
I was lucky to spend time with them.
He was obviously very young

Dr Loukras was our family doctor in Scarborough during the 1960s and I beleive part of the 50s. He was kind and patient and very handsome. He made house calls to our large family when my mother was worried or could not get us to him. Very fond memories and experiences of him. Glad to hear that he had such a full life and lovig family. Thanks Dr Loukras!

So sorry for your loss. He was an awesome Dr. I remember going to his apple farm when I was lots younger (9-12) to pick apples. He and my dad got along well and Dr Loukras sometimes gave my dad Leaf's tickets. I hope that happy memories you have will help you through this difficult time.
