My heart goes out to Barbara, Mark and Amy. This is a very sad time for anyone lucky enough to have known Dr. Franklin Klion. Frank was my doctor for over 40 years and memories of our times together are filled with awe at his incredible knowledge of medicine and medical procedures, but also of his compassion, understanding and thoughtfulness through both good and tough times. I will miss our conversations about sports, food & wine, the art world and world affairs although numerous patients in his waiting room may have been looking at their watches. Oh, Frank, rest in peace, we will miss you terribly and will never forget you.

Dr Klion, my first adult Dr. after being with a pediatrician, and I loved him so much as my Dr. Had I not moved out of NY, I would never have left him as my Dr. I loved how warm and caring he was. He was so easy to talk to that he felt almost like family. What a wonderful man. I can't imagine he is gone. My deepest condolences go out to his entire family. I'm so sad to see this.
