Hank - I just found out about Bruce and I am so sorry. My condolences to the Courtright family. Bruce alway talked about going into some field of medicine so he could help people. I’m glad he found that opportunity. He was smart, funny and a good guy. Rest In Peace Bruce.

Dr. Courtright was my family's dentist for the majority of my life. He always told a joke every time he entered the room. They were funny as a kid but as I grew older I always laughingly groaned at them. He made going to the dentist/orthodontist office enjoyable. I will always remember him joking that he was an honorary girl scout because his mom used to be a leader and took him on the troops camping trips. He was a memorable person. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.
