I had the pleasure of being one Mr Kaforey nurses while he was at Healthsouth. He always inspired me with his attitude and how much he wanted to do things himself .. He was always so polite and never complained..I was very saddened to learn of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time
