My family & I would like to express our gratitude to all who've provided us with their sympathies. My father was an unassuming man. A man of few words but showed great wit. He's an example to us all that determination, persistence and honesty are character traits that we should pass onto our children. Not only was my father a family man, he loved treating his patients with the same care he would treat a family member. Because of patient loyalty and friendships made over the years, my father continued to practice medicine when others would retire. Thanks again to all as we mourn a great man, a great human being, and a wonderful husband and father.
