On behalf of myself and the Patterson family, I would like to offer our sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Jose "Rocky" Balboa. I was fortunate enough to have trained with Jose, as we both did our residencies in Ob/Gyn at Mercy from 1976-1980. We had many good times together, and I remember Jose as a kind, thoughtful, hardworking doctor who always put patients first.We spent a lot of time together on the labor line at Mercy during those 4 years, and I have many wonderful memories. Unfortunately, by the time that I had heard of his passing, I was unable to attend his services. After graduation, our paths diverged, and unfortunately I hadn't seen Jose in about 20 years, but I always heard good things. My sincere condolences to his family and please know that he is with God now. John E.Patterson III, MD and family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
