Frank John Peter Grasse

I didn't find out until yesterday the Dr. Grasse had passed away. He stopped by the donut shop in Redwood Valley shortly after Vet Tails was first published. I was working that morning; I think I got a copy of the book from him. It was a wonderful book; I struggled multiple times trying to write a letter to tell him how much it meant to me but was never successful. I regret that! Although I didn't know him I was enriched by his life and his experiences through his book.

I want to thank Francis for sharing Frank with all of us. When my husband was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, he offered his heart and help to him in a way that is rare and sincere. We cherish his letters and are thankful for knowing him.

I never got the chance to thank Dr. Grasse for making the decision to give Gremlin a second chance at life, how Gremlin has brought so much joy and laughter to a household that was heartbroken. Gremlin is Dr. Grasse's living legacy, his living proof of his intuition and compassion.
Thank you, Dr. Grasse.

Francis and Family, It was a great shock for me to hear about Frank's death. I express condolences from the deepest strata of my heart. Frank was not only a great boss, but my mentor, teacher and I am honored to say a good friend. I am sure that each and every one of us thought the world of him and will miss him very much. He was admired and respected by all who knew him. Frank's death is a loss that is beyond repair and I pray that God gives you all the strength, courage and hope to get...
