Dr. Daufel was the best dentist I ever had. He decided to retire without asking me. He improved the quality of my life, and I informed him of that.

I met him recently at the Washington Twp. Rec. Center working out on the exercise machines.

It was always interesting and fun to talk with him.

He had been missed at the Rec. Center, now I know why. I missed him upon his retirement; I miss him at the Rec. Ctr.

Dottie was helpful too. They had a customer who gave them a box of chocolate candy bars; they gave me one. What's wrong with this picture?

Have a great day - George & Dottie.

Thanks for the memories and excellent dental work throughout the years!

Dr Daufel was my dentist since 1968. He was also my parent's dentist as well as my children's dentist. After he retired I found a new dentist and she always comments on the excellent work Dr Daufel did on my teeth. I really enjoyed Dottie as well. I so appreciated when both Dr Daufel and Dottie came to my mother's funeral. She thought a lot of them both. Rest In Peace Dr Daufel.

Dr. Daufel was my first dentist and took care of my teeth and my children's teeth until he retired. I have many fond memories of going there to see Dottie and Dr. Daufel. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
