Dianne and family,
I had the pleasure of calling on Dr Sweeney as a sales representative for many years and always enjoyed his welcoming demeanor and interesting stories. I will remember him as a class act!

As Chief of Dermatology at Englewood Hospital and a friend for over forty years I cherished the cheery friendship and camaraderie of Gene in all our dealings at Englewood especially in the early years of both of our careers when we met monthly at clinical conferences.

As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me".
