To the family of Dr. Platt, you never forget people who have been so kind to you. During my time of meeting him, I had just taken a new position at my job, I was fristrated about alot of things, trying to learn and keep it moving, but Dr. Platt made me wish I was employed over at his office, however, he was already staffed. He was a very kind person. I hope everyone in his family are doing well and thanks for keeping his memory alive.
We need more people like him in this world.

Nancy, I don't know if you will see this but I hope so. I just learned of Tan's passing on the internet today and wanted to offer my condolences. My goodness, St. Joe's seems like a long time ago, but it still holds a big place in my heart.
Sending love and sympathy your way,

The world has lost a great man and physician. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time. He was our physician for over thirty years, helping me during a life changing accident for my husband. More than just our physician, he was my confidante, my voice of reason and my friend. We loved him dearly for his his kindness and never-ending care. May the great memories bring peace and happiness to his family at this time of sadness.
With kindest regards,
Dee and Harry
