Bob Cody was an honest and just man. I remember his first years at the old hospital and his transition as he worked and set up the new Radiology at the new HCA hospital that was being built in Pulaski. At that time he was also an instructor for the radiology student at the old hospital. He was a true friend and a loyal employee. The patients were his highest priority. Because Medical Records and Radiology shared transcriptionist, I felt honored to work with him. He was a true friend. Linda and children, I know your great loss and grieve with you for my dear friend. Love and prayers.

I have not seen him since before high school graduation in 1981, but I remember him as smiling and kind, welcoming my family in visits to “the farm” when I was a pre-teen. My condolences to the family. Mike S. Quesenberry, Ph.D.
