There aren't enough words to say or express how sorry I am for your loss. He is an amazing man and physician .i am a nurse that worked with him many years ago at Genesis Emergency department. He was and will always be so respected by the entire staff here. We still very often refer to him and the stories of the wonderful and sometimes crazy things he and the staff did during his years here. He spent so much of his time educating the staff about things we experienced in the ED. He was a true leader and when he left, Genesis lost a great person and doctor. There is no doubt in my mind that he is in the most wonderful place, in Heaven, still watching over his family. I kept up with his adventures around the world with his wife and each of his posts on Facebook and you could here the happiness he felt.
