WITH A CLEAR HEAD, PURE HEART AND IRON WILL, IN THE FAITHFUL DISCHARGE OF PROFFESSIONAL DUTY, HE FELL VICTIM TO THE EPIDEMIC OF THAT YEAR. STRONG IN HIS OWN INTEGRITY AND SINCERITY, HE VIEWED WITH DISGUST, DECEPTION AND HYPOCRISY IN OTHERS. HE WAS A DUTIFUL SON, DEVOTED HUSBAND AND FATHER AND SINCERE FRIEND.
