I was a pharmaceutical sales rep at Parkland, UTSMC. I sold Coumadin
plus a few other products. Out of hundreds of physicians that I saw
Dr. Greenlee stands out in my memory of that unique blend of mastering the science and art of medicine. In addition he was a joy to
be near. I know he had the respect of all of his colleagues in the neuro department too. I was about as low on the ladder as they come
in the medical industry, but Dr. Greenlee was ALWAYS kind, helpful,
insightful and fun. We worked some together too with the Texas Medical Association on their Stroke Prevention Project.
I know he saved countless lives and was the epitome of a scholar and
a gentleman. My condolences to the family. It seems a life very well lived though. Many, many of us will never forget him.
