Not sure what to say?

To Elizabeth and family,
I was so sorry to hear of your great loss. Kenton called to tell us the sad news. I tried to find your address to write you a personal note and was not able to do so. You and your family will be in our prayers.

To the Zimmerman Family,
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Zimmerman. He was a great man that I had the opportunity to work with at Hampton General several times in Radiology/CT. He also was a good neighbor in Wythe and would always yell hello as he drove by in his car on the way home from work and compliment on the way our yard looked. His mom was a good neighbor as well. He was a great man with a great spirit, he was always very positive minded at work. We will keep you in...

I was so sad to learn of Dr. Zimmerman's passing. He was the BEST doctor I have ever had. There was just something about him that made him special. Perhaps it was is bedside manner. He seemed to really get that patients dont like to be treated as if they are a file. I was a patient for about 20 years until he retired.

My condolences and prayers go out to the entire Zimmerman family. I worked with Dr. Zimmerman in L&D at Hampton General and Sentara Careplex Hospitals. He was one of the best OB doctors I have ever worked with in my 21 years of working L&D. May God bless him!!!! He's in Heaven riding his Harley.

There have been but a handful of men I've known whom I could honestly and with certainty call a gentleman. Chuck was such a man and truly won my respect.

Chip and Family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your father. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Deepest sympathies, Michelle,Jim, Jacob and Alex Brann

Dear Zimmerman Family,
Just another former patient, writing to send my condolences. Dr. Zimmerman was the first face both of my children ever saw, and I was thrilled that he was my Dr for 24 years. While I was sad to know he was retiring, he deserved the time with his family, and his leisure. May God Bless you all at this very difficult time.

To the Zimmerman Family:
I was shocked to hear of Dr. Zimmerman's passing as he always seemed invincible. He was my dr. for over 28 yrs. and he was so easy going and very pleasant to know as a remarkable human being. You could sit in his office and see all his family pictures and immediately see his love for his family. I hated to see him retire,but was glad he had the opportunity to enjoy the time he had with his family and enjoy sailing and riding his motorcycle.
May God bless each...

To the Zimmerman family- I was saddened to read of your loss. Dr Zimmerman took care of me for over 30 years. This man delivered my beautiful son. I last saw Dr Zimmerman Dec 2004 at my visit when he told me he was retiring. Needless to say I cried on my way home. Of all the doctor's I ever had, I must say he was top of the list with compassion for his patients. Years ago I was going through some trials in my life and asked him for something to help me sleep. His reply to me was "I would...
