Yesterday we lost one of the brightest individuals that I have ever known. Dr. Phillip Griepp M.D, former chairman of the hematology department at Mayo Clinic passed away yesterday. I met Phill nearly twenty five years ago while he was treating my brother for multiple melanoma, a terminal bone marrow and blood cancer. He became an instant family friend and Phill was able to keep my brothers disease at bay for five good quality years. Upon his death, Phill traveled from Rochester, Minnesota to Corpus Christi, Texas to deliver my brothers eulogy. God Love You and Eternal Rest My Friend.
