Dr. Cavanagh was a true gentleman in every sense of the word, the last of a dying breed, no pun intended. Always very dapper, clad in a bow tie, he bestowed compassion on his fellow patients. He was kind, loving, and gentle. He was in my life for a brief time, maybe five years as my doctor, but he made a major impact. I will never forget him. I'm sure he is in Heaven now, reaping the rewards of his service and fellowship to his fellow man. May he rest in peace.
