My vet passed away. - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am so very sorry to hear of Dr. Greene's passing. It sounds like you and Toby have both lost a dear friend/helper. I will keep everyone he has touched in my heart and prayers.

I'm so terribly sad to hear this. My prayers are extended to his patients and family. I know he will be missed. Throughout my life, I've always heard people say that when they die, they want to die doing what they love.......Rest in Peace, Dr. Greene.

Wow, sounds like he really loved them. Now he gets to go visit with the ones who went before.

Very sorry for your loss, a good vet is a treasured blessing.

Oh, how very, very sad.

How sad I am sorry, a trusted Dr., or Vet can become like a part of your extended family.

That is sad to hear...when my vet retired for good...he tried twice, but was talked back...but when he really, really retired...so did I..moved to Florida and have never found a vet who comes close.

That is so sad. Prayers for his friends and family. I guess we don't realize how someone touches our lives sometimes. I never thought that much about my Vet until I had Casper PTS and they were so kind. Then when Lucy had her problems; I relied on him heavily.

I'm sure Dr. Greene will be missed by many.

Sorry to hear for your loss

AprilLove · 02-20-2011, 07:59 AM

Oh my, I cannot even imagine! I am so very sorry for your loss and for his familys' loss.

HollyandMommy · 02-20-2011, 08:12 AM

Sorry to hear about your vet.

Wabbit · 02-20-2011, 08:16 AM

omg! That's so sad!

Sweet Apple · 02-20-2011, 09:10 AM

So sorry to hear this...I understand your loss, not because my vet passed away, but when he retired, I didn't realize how much it was going to affect me (I went to him for 25 years)...I cried, every time I thought about it, for weeks...Hope you feel better soon...
hugs,
maggie

That's how I hope to die (years from now) doing something I love so much I can't quit. And I think it's pretty nice that his very last patient was a long-time one who appreciated him so much.

But I am sorry you lost your vet -- I know how much we depend on them and they do sometimes become members of our extended families.

Thanks for posting his obituary, I actually use to go to Dr. Twilley years ago when I lived in that area, he was the only vet that took care of Ferrets. I had probably met Dr. Greene, he seems to have been a wonderful vet.
