I am so sorry to hear this. I remember when he first came to Lanier Hospital as a pediatrician. I worked at the hospital in Medical Records at the time. He was such a kind and compassionate physician and treated you with so much respect and greeted you with a smile. . I know you will all miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
