I can’t believe it! This was my grandfather’s name too! Did his father remarry and move to Lock Haven? If so, we were related.
It is with deep sorrow i have heard about the passing away of my friend and ex-patient Tony . I met Tony when he used to bring his father to my office and subsequently becoming my patient. May God bless his beautiful soul and give his family the patience to endure his loss , with heart full of sorrow , Zuhdi Dajani
