Not sure what to say?

Dr. Kistler was our family doctor when I was a child and became the standard against which all other doctors were subsequently judged. Few, if any, ever came close.

I had the privilege of knowing both Dr. Kistler and his father, Dr. Kistler. They were both wonderful human beings. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy goes to your family at this time. Dr, Kistler was an amazing,compassionate person who has contributed so much to the world. I moved away from WB when I got married 37 years ago, and while he was still practicing continued to seek his advice over the years with my heath matters. He will be missed. God Bless your family. The Delaney, Owens, Powell family.

We were so sorry to hear of Dr. Kistler's passing. He was a wonderful man, always smiling and finding a way to make your day a better day. He was a man that was and always will be respected by all who knew him. The world has lost another angel. We will miss seeing him around the halls of the empire he helped to build. May the family find comfort in knowing so many of us looked up to this sweet man. May you rest in peace, Doc.

Dr. Kistler was "Simply the Best" doctor I have ever meet in my career & was very lucky to have him as our family's doctor for so many years. He was a true doctor, gentleman & Christian man who was so very well respected by all who worked with him or knew him an example for so many.

Dear Dr. Kistler family, I'm so very sorry to hear of your dad's death. I want you to know that my thoughts are with you.

He was such an amazing man who touched the lives of many. Everyone who knew him will miss him. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May he rest in peace. Marina and my family.

Our family physician for 50 years, this gentle, caring man was more than a healer, he was by far a visionary whose legacy will be remembered for his kindness and dedication to others, especially the young. May you rest in peace and may your family take comfort in what you have achieved.
