I remember Dr. Carbone making house calls when I was a little girl. Growing up as an immigrant in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, he treated us all with respect and kindness. His level of care and ethical standards upheld every detail of the Hippocratic Oath. To his family: We are saddened by your loss and we hope that your memories give you peace and comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
A noi che restiamo, il compito di rendere vivo il suo ricordo nelle nostre preghiere.
