    Joan and family: So sorry to hear about Dr. Ley's passing. What a super person and Dr. he was. We were patients from Bedford and then followed along to Bloomington until he retired. Stan's folks, Rev. and Mrs. Victor Glenn also relied on him heavily. He was always kind, considerate, and genuinely concerned with our physical health. We have many fond memories of him, and you too, Joan. We always knew when Dr. Ley gave you a diagnosis and when he referred you to a specialist, his diagnosis was always right on the money. God Bless you all and thank you for sharing him with us.. Stan and April Glenn
