My family, and I are saddened by the passing of Dr. Alcorn. We met him 35 years ago at KS where he was my Son's Pediatrician. He was so "Smooth", and had a Sly wit that seemed to always set the tone. We appreciate His service to mankind, and His compassion for the children he attended. "Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled"

I was able to share care for my mother with uncle Buddy. He helped me reason through one of the most difficult seasons of my life. I thank God for one of the most loving men I have ever known. Uncle Buddy, you will be missed.
