I was saddened to see the notice of your father's death. He and I had a very special relationship for 3 years. He delivered all four of my children and cared for me during a problem pregnancy. He even made a house call to my house once many years ago! I would run into him once and a while at the Jewel for the last several years and he kept me updated on his life and Dr. McCarthy's.

I had the deepest respect and admiration for your father. I know you and a lot of other people will miss him.
