Martin Benzell September 1, 2010, 8:50 PM | Dear Uriu Family, Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. I met Dr. Mas as we both exercised at Torrance Memorials Cardiac Rehab department. He always had a warm smile when we greeted each other and we had many nice chats. I was very sad to hear of his passing and he will be greatly missed. |
