He was proud of his service in the Marines. Looking back, Dad stated that there was no better group of morons and mental patients than those he had the privilege of serving with (except Bob, he never liked you, Bob).
After his service he became a Stagehand Local 27 and Carpenter working at NBC TV 3 for 30 years. If you knew him, remember him in your own way.
Dad had a wonderful life and thank you to all family and friends who made it so.
Dr. Thomas Krupitzer, his ideal primary physician for years is the kind of doctor everyone wishes they had. He is a warm, caring man who takes time with each patient; a superb diagnostician and an all-around good human being. For all these reasons, we call him “Dr. Perfect,” (I’m sure he’s thrilled with that title).
Aware of dads limited capabilities, he scheduled extra time for his visits. Dr. Perfect spoke slowly, drew diagrams using simple stick figures and demonstrated his problem with the full-figured skeleton to help us out. His nurse, Kelley Worden, We call her Nurse Awesome, (I’m sure she’s thrilled with that title as well) Nurse Awesome, was always patient, kind and caring, with a lot of compassion on top of everything, she would have us repeat directions so we understood, helped us cut through red tape and always returned phone calls as quick as possible. He couldn’t have been in better hands.
The family requests that instead of flowers, we would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for someone in an unfortunate situation.
