A kind man and a good doctor.

Dr. Koven was our family doctor and a personal friend of our family for many years. My mother gave me the middle name of Arthur because Dr. Koven delivered all 6 of the children in my family. I think the world is a little less of a place without him. May God keep you.

Sincerely,

Mike Matlock

To the family of Dr. Koven,

Dr.Koven was my family physician from the time I was 4 years old until I was 48 years old at which time he retired.

I wanted to cry when he retired and it took me another 5 years before I found another doctor with his qualities.

He was a patients dream. He would always take the time to answer any questions you might have and he would explain to you in detail any diagnosis he would give you if you so wished.

He was a one-of-a-kind doctor that truly cared about his patients.

May God bless him for all eternity for the loving and caring human being that he was.

Thank you, Stan Pukael
