May He Rest in Sweet Peace

I was informed today that one of my favorite doctors to work with, Dr. Ritter in Atherton who was well over 80 years old, passed away suddenly just before Christmas due to a difficult recovery from an angioplasty. He was a golden gift to his patients as he genuinely cared about them, wore bright bow-ties with crisp white shirts everyday to work, old-fashioned good manners, a mine of medical experience from all over the world, a resume that was more than 50 pages long listing hundreds of educational talks he gave, took time out to discuss the progress of the study I monitored at his site for a time - a true rarity in doctors of today. Rest in sweet peace, Dr. Ritter. You won't be forgotten.
