Not sure what to say?

we will always remember this man with fondness he helped my family through many difficult times, and will forever be in our hearts as one of the "greats" in old school medicine.. When my father was diagnosed with cancer in 1987 you were there taking your time to make sure he was comfortable and doing all that you could to help us understand the progression of the deadly disease, and for that my family thanks you with all our hearts for getting us through that difficult time.. rest in peace..

Dr. McCafferty was a long time Dr to my family, from Grandma, Dad and Mom and I. He was very special to to me and took care of all of us, my father passed away from dementia, I truly understand, your father was a FINE MAN.

Paige and Leslie, I will always remember "Hoppy" and our wonderful Thanksgivings together! He taught me to shoot skeet and to handle the kick of the gun, even in a skirt! Such fond memories…such a wonderful set of parents you had…happy for them that they are finally together again.

Page & Leslie...sorry to hear the news,to this day I remember the pride your dad had in his keg frig and running out to the field to pick corn!All the best... Tom Lombardi

Dennis was loved and will be greatly missed. Dennis was always a great friend, mentor, and role model to my entire family and to me.

Dennis played a huge role in our lives, sharing call with Bob when he first started practice, and sharing your family cabin on the Metolius with us, where we would eventually find our perfect summer home. We think of both Dennis and Estelle whenever we walk by your cabin, and will look forward to seeing you up there this summer. Sorry for such a difficult year.

You have lost both parents now. But you still have each other and your families. Always cherish the memories and know that they raised two beautiful and loving daughters. Hugs and prayers to you both and your families.

Both my parents have been gone for awhile. It takes awhile getting used to the idea that they aren't here.But, they are.

I practiced medicine in Springfield with Dennis for 20 years. What really stands out in my memory is his total honesty and candor about all matters in life. He lived his beliefs. He was a role model for many of us.
