Dr. Engstrom was the BEST VET I've ever had for my pets. He was not only an Awesome Vet but a really great person. I left Connecticut in 2003 and it took me awhile to find a Vet even close to as good as Dr. Engstrom was. He saved my little Toy Poodle when another Vet had told me there was no hope. I could never have been more thankful for for him or to him. When I reflect back on my life he has always been remembered and talked about. I know that Heaven is Rejoicing that he has arrived!!

Having just recently learned of the passing of David Engstrom, I am blessed that I had the chance to meet him many years ago. Having researched his years at Lyman Hall High School in preparation for the 100th Anniversary of our school, he truly was one of those rare alumnus who lived out the full measure of his promise while at LHHS. He shall remain a model for those who seek the realization of their dreams.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of
Doc E. I considered him my mentor. He taught me so much. He made veterinary care affordable for so many patients. I know that I gave him a lot of headaches, but he knew that I liked him. I also only won one bet that I made with him. He won all the rest.

You made a real difference. I am so glad
that we knew each other.

As eccentrically funny as he was kind, Dr. Engstrom will be missed by all of us. I will never forget the summer his staff rescued a baby deer in the woods and brought her to Merryfield, where she was nursed to health. How we laughed when our puppy was introduced to her by Dr. Engstrom! Like most of his stories, much of his light heart was punctuated by his humanitarian nature. Practical, professional and big hearted to animals and humans alike, we salute this man who really loved all of...

So sad to hear of doc's passing.what a great vet and get some real glasses I would always tell him!Will miss him and our cats will too!

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Engstrom family. I have know Doc for 43 years. It was because of Dr. Engstrom our family purchased our first Chow. He took great care of our pets and also took the time to tell us funny and wonderful stories about his life. I always enjoyed talking with him. He was a good man and also enjoyed cooking his macaroni and meatballs for the seniors. Only time heals the pain when loosing someone we love. We never get past the loss, we have to learn how to...
