† Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 †
Mr. Drude has been a dental patient of mine since 1983. He was such a kind gentleman. I was always amazed at how intelligent he was and he kept his sharp mind even into his senior years. He had “old school” manners and was always polite and considerate of everyone. He thanked each of us every time for the dental care he received. I considered him a VIP! I will miss his kindness and sense of humor. It was such a pleasure to have had him as my patient over these many years. May God bless you Mr. Drude along with your family!
