Not sure what to say?

Dan I miss you now as I missed you then, and I always will.

Sorry to hear about the passing of
Dr. Vickers. He was the best. Had been going to him for Dental care for
15 years. Rest in peace.

My heart aches for Leah, Katie and Chris and his Grandchildren and Larry. Dr. Vickers was my friend as well as my dentist. He was a very kind soul and helped out patients in his office when he could see that they needed it. He always had a tale to tell in his office. Interesting person. I will miss him a lot. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dan, you touched my life in more ways than one! You will forever remain in my heart & will be greatly missed! I look forward to the day we meet again. (phil.1:3)

I just now came across Dans obituary and Im still at a loss for words! I worked with him years ago at AFDC. We kept in touch over the years and last talked thru email on May 16TH. I m gonna miss him greatly! He was such a wonderful person. I look forward to the day we meet again. My prayers are with the family and may God be your comfort in the days ahead. ...(phillipians 1:3)

So very sorry for the loss of Dan. He was loved by all who knew him. We knew Dan many years. My parents loved him dearly and thought no one could "work on" their teeth but Dan. He will be missed, but we all will see him again someday. I imagine him sitting and talking with mother and daddy now.

To my one and only brother you are missed.

He ask me to read this poem at his ash spreading. I will share it with you now.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the...

One of the best men I've known. Doc is in a great place of peace without pain of any kind now and the pain of missing him is ours to share. Heaven has one amazing angle now and I'm proud to call him my friend. Doc you will forever be in my heart.

I had the pleasure of working with Doc and I know first hand what a kind and caring man he was. He would do anything for anyone and was the best Dentist anyone could ask for. He will be missed by so many. May God comfort your family during this time and always. RIP Doc, you'll be missed !
