anybody might ask of a doctor and a person. Not only
was he a highly-skilled physician, but his warm, friendly
personality and genuine concern always made his patients
feel very comfortable in his care. I was one of those
patients and was sorry to lose his services when he
retired. I have been involved with our hospital’s
board and foundation in Latrobe for many years and can
tell you that Harry Speedy was certainly one of the
most highly-respected members ever to be a part of our
medical community.”
