My former vet passed on

I am so very sad. My husband just was at the vets picking up medication, and there was a notice that my former vet, who'd left this practice and moved back east within the past 4 years, had passed away. Dr. Tom as he was called, was one of the finest vets I've ever had the fortune to work with, and one of the nicest people I met since moving to WA state...frankly, one of the nicest people I've met in my life.

Gentle, so very, very good with my cats. He was the one to help Bookie live as long as she did, and comfort me when she lost her battle..he cried too, he loved her too. He was the vet to diagnose her son Patrick with chronic kidney failure over 3 years ago..and just, no words for all he helped us with in caring for our cats.

I wonder if he knew how much of an impact he truly had not only on us, but I am sure, on many others. He and my husband would get chatting for so long, I'd start shushing my husband, concerned we were causing him to get behind in his apts. They just enjoyed talking to each other, there was a rapport, and given how private and quiet my husband is, it was neat to see.

Most definately gone too soon, and most definately never to be forgotten by myself or my husband.

sorry if my mis-spelling is worse than usual, I am crying too hard to see well.

Very sorry to hear about your former vet's passing. It's very rare to find a vet like you described...I'm sure he touched many families throughout his career. Bless him.

This world needs more caring, thoughtful people like him.
I am so sorry.

I am sorry a good man like him has passed away. Very sad news indeed.

I'm sorry you're hurting. And I'm sorry the world lost such a wonderful person.

I would reach out and send an letter to the family Pat they may appreciate knowing how he was so well thought of

I am so sorry to hear that.

God Bless he and his family Pat!

I think that sounds like a great idea, I'd love for his wife and two very young children to know what he meant to us.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. I think a letter sounds like a fantastic idea.

I´m so sorry to heard that Dear Pat..
My deep condolences to his family and my prayers for his soul...
