He was a fabulous doctor and friend. Always seemed happy and smiling. Those that loved him will miss him terribly. It's hard to believe that he is gone....but then again he is with the angels.

I am devastated to hear of the loss of this Amazing man & my eye doctor for years since my first eye exam at 1 to surgery at 3:years old through to my last surgery in my 20's. He was a gentle, intelligent & kind man. One of the extremely few medical doctors I trusted completely. Living in Florida, Germany, Tennessee, & UP of MI, I haven't kept in touch, but I have & never will forget you. Words cannot express what you meant to me. Best wishes & prayers for comfort & peace to all who mourn the loss of this remarkable & wonderful human being who will be deeply missed.
