To Mark & Family - So sorry to hear the news about your Dad. I have so many fond memories of him from Richmond Street & of you Mark, playing catch in the front yard & badminton in the backyard. He will be missed. His dry humor was cool!

My sympathies to your family. What a great doctor he was! He treated me many times for tonsilitis when I was growing up and made house calls!My Mom loved that since she had 6 of us that needed medication and shots when we were so sick! A super sense of humor along with a no nonsense approach to medicine. He was a rare gem.

I remember him so well from Roseland Community Hospital when I was at the school of nursing. He was always a great teacher and solid supporter of the students. My deepest sympathy to the family on the loss of this fine man.
