I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Cornelius. He was a marvelous physician; highly intelligent, inquisitive, and most kind. We always enjoyed hearing of his latest adventures - be it mountain climbing or distance swimming with his daughter near Alcatraz - images of which adorned the patient room walls. Dr. Cornelius was a true gentleman in every sense of the word and my late mother and I felt fortunate to be among his patients.

I extend my deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
