You have my deepest sympathy on the recent passing of Dr. Kaske. As a youngster in Monona, I was privileged to have this truly wonderful man as my doctor.

Know that you and your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers - along with your father. I consider myself very, very lucky to have known Dr. Kaske and to have had him as my doctor.
