A man who can truly be called a doctor. He is missed by all those who went to him for help. May he rest in peace.

So sorry to all your family. I'm Judy the x-ray tech at his Michigan Ave. office. I attended the Funeral today with Linda and didn't see the guest book. I had a lot of fun working for him even though it was a job. He was the only one that would call me a nick name of "cookie" when everyone else just called me "Jude." He will be sorely missed! Love, Judy Bulgajewski

My condolences to Jan and that fine family join many other expressions of sympathy. Leonard and I worked together at Mercy Hospital for many years, and I know well that his gruff exterior concealed a warm and caring heart. Leonard made it possible for me to take vacations, and generously covered my calls while I was gone. Gerald F. Loftus, M.D.

Jamie, my condolences to you and your family. Jordie Bloom
