Thanx, friends. I'm just so sad about this. He was such a wonderful man. He always asked about my son every time I had an office visit and when my dog Charmin died, he handwrote a two page letter to me. How his family is going to miss him!

He started an animal clinic here 30 years ago w/quite a staff and he told me that he should dedicate a wing to me b/c I spent so much time there w/my dogs and cats. LOL He served as a vet when he was in the Army and he even went to Haiti after their earthquake recently. He also started the emergency veterinary clinic locally and was on the board of our Humane Society where he tried for years to get me to volunteer. He told me one day that he wished I would change my mind and just do it but he understood why, that I would end up taking all of the animals home w/me. He was quite a guy, married to the same woman for 45 years, Joan, who worked w/him for most of his career.

He told me that my dog Charmin was his favorite patient, (he probably said that to all of his clientele b/c he knew how much we loved our furkids) but whatever the case, I'm sure Charmin and her daughter Daisy and his other favorites, my cats Peeka and Boo (he really loved Boo; he had a thing for black cats), Pidgie and Puddy were there to greet him along w/all the other furkids that he'd helped and healed during his career.
