Douglas Appleby

Doug, my great friend -- we just today received word of your father's death, being out of country since February 1st.
It breaks our hearts to know what you and your family have been experiencing, the exreme sadness of your loss.
Reading the comments from those who knew this special man, it is obvious that Dr. Appleby was one of a kind, a true professional person and wonderful individual.
To have him in your life for so many years was a true blessing.
Our prayers and love are with...

To all of Dr Appleby's family I am sorry to hear of Dr Appleby's passing. I have a lot of good memories growing up with all of you and will miss him. My family and I will hold you in our prayers.

Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Dr. Appleby. Many years ago he saved my right thumb which had been cut very badly in an accident. The tendrons had crawled half way up my arm and he said he could not get to them it would be stiff. I told him to leave it on that I did no want to loose it. That was back around 1965. His surgery was successful and I have 90% use of my thumb. He was the most caring, kind and thoughtful doctor I have ever met. I am sure his family has many...

Dr. Appleby saved my life with 2 surgeries due to a ruptured appendix when I was in fifth grade. I am now 31 and healthy with two scars... my family and I are forever greatful. His bedside manner could not be matched... a true kind soul and master of medicine, he will be truly missed. My condolences to his family... TJW

I have Dr. Appleby to thank for my sons life. He was by far the most caring doctor I have ever known. My sincere sympathy goes to his family over the loss of this great man.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Appleby's passing. He was the most wonderful doctor I have ever known. He will be missed by so very many. His caring and compassionate way is difficult to find in doctors today. He was truly a blessing to all.
