  11. He was like a younger brother to me. We loved a ton of the same things. Fly fishing in and elk hunting in Colorado to turkey and deer in NY. I’m going to miss those long phone talks that covered everything from family to hunting to the changes in our profession. He loved his patients. I will surely miss you. Loved you!
