I worked for Dr. Bond and Dr. Rohn my first job out of Med. Tech school at IU.
Dr. Bond then came back into my work life many years later when he joined our Oncology group. He was such a kind and gentle man. He was also a very generous teacher and I learned a lot from him.
Please know that he was valued and loved in the medical community.

Dr. Bond was he most influential person in my Fellowship during my training at Indiana University Medical School in the Hematology department from 1963 to 1965. From him I not only learned the science of the field in which we both practiced but the kindness and caring that he felt and expressed in caring for patients with a dread disease process. He had an encyclopedic mind and memory and always had time to discuss patient care with us. We later had the privilege of having him as part of our private practice group after he left the University. He worked with us to age 83 where he was most respected and knowledgable member of the group. He enjoyed his patients to whom he was dedicated and he had a great sense of humor as well. He was indeed an oustanding person as well as a great physician.
