    Thank you so much for recognizing my papa, Dr. Dale James Gorski in this. He was the most brilliant, compassionate, loving, hard-working person I ever have and ever will know and loved what he did. His profound impact on the countless lives he saved and surrounding families…and his own family will keep his love alive forever.
