Doc was the kindest man I have ever known. I was heartbroken to hear of his passing. Rest in peace Doc, you will be missed.

I just found out Doc passed I'm heart broken he was a good man and a great doctor

More than fifteen years ago I was in Fort Worth literally on my way to Abiline to be with my father on his deathbed.
My little dog got into some poison while I was gone, and Doc was the only veterinarian in Atlanta that took me at my word that as long as he would take care of her, no matter what the outcome was, I would pay him when I got back home.
My baby got better and Doc got paid.

Dr. Kunkle was the best veterinarian

Mr. Jim, Mr. Jim I can't believe you are not walking the earth today. What a wonderful spirit you were. You will be missed by humans and animals alike. Jim will live on in the wonderful stories about him we remember. He always told it like it is. I always felt a special bond with Jim as a friend and classmate because like me he knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. Animals were his passion and his art. Jan, Jean, Julie and your families, I am so very sorry for this...
