I just recently learned of Dr Herbolds passing and am so sad. What a wonderful man and phenomenal vet. He was like the country family vet you only see in old movies. I just recently started working for a vet and wanted the job because her practice style reminded me so much of Doc. My deepest condolences to Dianne and family. The animal world has lost our very own St Francis who walked with us. May you RIP Doc and enjoy the splendors of all the precious creatures you gave quality of life. Say hi to Clover and My many kitties up there. May God forever bless you!

Dr. Herbold was a dear man. He cared for my dogs for many, many years. His loss will be felt by the many people whose life he touched. I hope he is able to care for my little girl until I'm able to see her again. My deepest sympathy to his family.
