Dr. Andy Swain was a close friend, neighbor, and father of perhaps my dearest friend ever--Barry Swain. I greatly loved "Doc," too, the entire family, Mickey included. Please accept my condolences on the death of this wonderful servant of God and Country. And, thank you, Lord Jesus, for the many, many years of fond memories and friendship--what a blessing they were!
Missing the most helpful and unselfish colleague in the Chiropractic profession: and one of the finest men I've even known. You will be missed.
Sincerely,
Dr. Henry L Seubold D.C.
To the Swain family and Mickey, So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
