A tragic post
Posted by jplatt on December 27, 2008
Sadly, my former boss Dr. Juan Aleman died on Christmas Eve. I worked for him for four years and cried every summer season when I left because I loved working for him so much. Because I wanted to be a teacher, I had to move on from this job and pursue other things, but I visited him often since my departure a little less than a year ago.
I got an e-mail today from the girl who took my position after me, and I’m honestly heartbroken. This man, who is one of the brightest people I’ve ever met, and the smartest doctor I have ever encountered, is no longer with us. My prayers go out to his family: his beloved mother, his wife, his children, and grandchildren; all of whom he spoke of often and with nothing but the utmost love and pride.
