I thought the world of AD. My husband and I were lucky enough to live in his neighborhood for a short while and were always happy to see him and chat while he was out on one of his daily walks with Moses. He was a wonderful and kind person and a true gentleman. I am so sorry we have lost him. He will be missed and thought of fondly and often.

I knew Mr. Sawyer for only a few months, helping him manage his pain. He always greeted me at the door along with Moses and was just as concerned about what was going on in my life as his own life. I looked forward to my visits with him. He warmed my heart and I felt that I always got more out of our visits than he did. I was very saddened to hear about his passing and I will miss his warm generous heart.

I didn't know Mr. Sawyer, but after reading about him and his dog Moses I wanted to express to your family my condolences for your loss. It is obvious by the devotion and love that he gave his dog and other community dogs that he was a very kind and loving man. My thoughts are with you.

I have known Mr. Sawyer for many years, helping him manage his diabetes. He always was smiling and upbeat no matter what. He always asked about my kids and pets. He was truly a good friend besides being my patient. He will be missed and I am saddened by his passing.
