My sympathies to David Retik's family. I did not know David but learned of his passing through a Children's Hospital newsletter where his Dad is a doctor/surgeon. Dr. Retik, David's Father operated on my son, Christian, about 9 years ago when my son was just about 3 mos. old to repair bi-lateral hernias. Dr. Retik did a wonderful job and as first-time parents we were so relieved to have someone with his expertise and knowledge.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to David's wonderful family.

I want to offer prayer for David Retik and his family. David and I were classmates in high school and I was shocked to hear of his death on September 11th. I just had a chance to visit the site of the WTC. It was moving...David is missed.
