Dr Heath delivered me into the world and was our family physician for many years. I always felt safe in his care. I will remember him as a kind and gentle man. I happened to be visiting in Rochester and my Dad told me about the obituary. Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace... I just told my husband he was the doctor that sewed my finger together when I put it through a window. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
