Milton was my childhood friend and neighbor. We spent years playing together as kids on Denison St. He was a member of a very nice family. He will surely be missed. God Bless the Crenchaw family.

I am so sorry to learn of Dr.Crenshaw's death. He was a wonderful veterinarian and a wonderful human being. I brought my animals to him in the 70s, and while I missed seeing him in recent years, I continue to bring my animals to the vets at the clinic he established. My sincere condolences to the family.

Dr. Milt was always so terrific with my pets. When one of my dogs was lost for 12 days and we found her, he was nearly as ecstatic as I was. That meant a lot to me. My sincere sympathies to his family and the staff at Animal Medical Clinic. I will miss him!

Sincere condolences to Dr. Crenshaw's family and the staff at Animal Medical Clinic.

A couple years after Animal Medical Clinic was established I brought my first cat there and have continued to have the clinic as my cats' veterinarian throughout the years. Dr. Crenshaw was a brilliant diagnostician who cared about the welfare of his patients. In the early years of the clinic I appreciated being greeted by the trio of orange cats who resided there - one of whom was his namesake, Milton. I hope Dr. Crenshaw's legacy will live on by the clinic continuing to provide care to companion animals utilizing the high standards he established.

With sympathy...
