My deepest sympathies for the O'Cherony family. Dr. O'Cherony was mine and my brother's pediatrician since we arrived from Cuba. My parents always maintained a relationship with the Dr. via the many Cuban social functions. He was a great and caring physician. I will never forget him. May he rest in peace.
