Dr. Zuflacht was a tremendous doctor and human being. I saw firsthand his warmth and thoughtfulness. I can close my eyes and see both his serious and lighthearted expressions. The few times I was his patient, he was always caring and thorough. I saw so much more of his warmth, friendship and character through the eyes of my mother who worked for him for many years. He and Gloria were true friends of hers committed to keeping in contact all these many years. He is a family favorite and although I feel sad for you, the family, I celebrate a long, productive, gifted life well lived for the betterment of others.
