Not sure what to say?

One day my Mom, a somewhat volatile and confused person, had a sharp pain in her eye, and we ended up seeing Chris because her doc was out for the day. He was so intelligent, gracious, kind, and reassuring (dealing with a notoriously difficult patient) that I decided on the spot to see him as my own eye doctor.

I never met him out of the office but it was always such a pleasure to see him. He made difficult things so easy. Much appreciated.

Sincerest...

Dr. Eddy was a one of a kind person and doctor. He showed he cared about our eyes, our health, and who we were as people. I can't believe he remembered everything! I could walk into an appointment and we would pick our conversation like old friends catching up on each other's lives. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. My family and I will miss him greatly, I started seeing him when I was a student at CSU back around 2002 and he has since been the eye doctor, for me, my husband, our...

I feel so fortunate, for over 20 years, my daughter and I had such excellent eye care from Dr. Eddy. He was genuinely caring and interested in not only how our eyes were, but our whole health, and us as people. A good spirited man, his upbeat, fun attitude during your appointment always made you feel good. His diagnosis of my glaucoma, meant multiple appointments each year, so I got to know and appreciate him a little bit more. He treated me as a caring friend, and I cherish his kindness. ...

I was an incoming Freshman at CSU and was desperate to find a good optometrist in Fort Collins. I was lucky enough to find Dr Eddy who turned out to be the best optometrist I have ever had. I looked forward to every appointment because I always walked out of there feeling and seeing better than ever. Not only did he help me with my terrible vision but his kind words brought comfort to me. I was 18 years old and had just moved to a completely new city and Dr Eddy made me feel welcome. At our...

I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great doctor to me for the last 15 years. Thank you Dr. Eddy for all you did for me!

Dr. Eddy was my eye doctor for probably 20 years. I greatly appreciate all he did to care for my eye issues and his kindness. I always looked forward to my appointments, as I knew he would find a solution and keep my eyes healthy. I will miss him and I would like to express my sympathy to all of his family and staff. He was a truly great and admirable man. I become sad every time I realize I won't get to see him again. Enjoy laughing and crying at all of your memories.

I was extremely fortunate to be referred to Dr. Eddy in 2005 after a severe head injury. I have been his patient since. He has been more than just my eye doctor, hes been my friend, dried many tears through my frustrations, encouraged me to not give up, celebrated my successes, given me advice when he didnt have to and taught me the true meaning of courage. All of us who have had the privilege to have Chris Eddy in our lives have truly been blessed and our lives are better because of him.

Dr. Eddy was my eye doctor for over 20 years and I looked forward to my appointment with him every year. We always had a nice chat before each exam and we frequently chuckled about the joys and trials of raising children. He was always so very patient with me as we tried different solutions for my eye care needs. He also treated my daughter and her husband and their three children. We always had so much confidence in him and we will all miss having him in our lives. I send heartfelt...

Dr. Eddy was my children's eye doctor starting when they were just a year old. He was always kind and considerate. He was incredible with kids. It's rare to find a doctor who takes such an interest in his patients. He will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his family.
