I am so sorry for the loss of Dr Gurri, my prayers and thoughts are with all of you. I had much respect for him and feel very badly about not having known about this very sad loss until tonight. We had met at the Coral Gables Youth Center Fitness Center and have many pleasant memories of such fine Gentleman and Physician.
