I was going through a filing cabinet drawer and I came across an appointment card that I had gotten from his office years ago when I was a patient of his. I remember when he retired. He was such a kind , gentle and caring person.

Mercedes, and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Dr A. was the best, he was so funny and I enjoyed every moment I spent working for him. He taught me to play soduku and I still play it. I taught him to play free cell card game, he was hilarious, he just wanted to be on the computer playing it and don't make him loose because boy I wouldn't hear the end of it. Though, I didn't try hard enough looking for him, I have always thought of him and I will treasure the memories I have from him. He was a very nice,funny and kind Dr. May God Bless you all and again I Loved Dr. A. Thank you too Mercedes, for everything.
