Dr. Franklin W. Rapp

Dr. Rapp took care of my very first dog and one of our cats. He was also my employer when I was a PT employee as a kennel worker while in HS in '68/'69. I have a couple stand-out memories of that time, particularly a Christmas morning when the other kennel worker did not show and Dr. Rapp was there to check on patients. He was not pleased that the other staff member was a no show, however, instead of leaving me to deal with it all, he pitched in to get the kennel work done. That was more than...

Just a moment I won't ever forget. Dr. Rapp took excellent care of my mom and dad's dachunds over the years (all looked the same and named Ginger). I was raising 2 baby squirrels that were homeless. They were about 4 months old when one was crying out every so often. Dr. Rapp was willing to look at her and diagnosed a UTI. He gave me medication for her, and never charged me anything for the visit or meds. He was a kind and caring man who loved all animals. Thank you and God bless you...

Every week at our Honor Guard services, Doc would assign a "rating" to how well he perceived our performance; we still ask each other: What do you think Doc would have given that one?

Hard to believe it is nearly a year since Frank passed. I remembered him and his dapper appearance each time I went to the Patron's Club this past summer. Rest in peace, dear Frank. Doris Fischer

Dear Barbara, Nancy and Rachel,
Once a month I review the obituaries in the Saratogian. Today i was surprised to see your Dad's picture and read his obituary. I enjoy many hours of friendship with your Dad and Mom over a period of 30 years. This coming weekend I will be in Saratoga and will make a visit to the cemetery to say goodbye. My condolences to you and your families. Sincerely, Terry

Please accept my condolences. My first job as a newly graduated veterinarian was with Frank at Aqueduct Animal. Although I subsequently specialized in horses, we remained good friends. His positive can do attitude and spirit will be missed. Joan Taylor

A wonderful vet. Thank you, Dr. Rapp.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

please accept my sincere condolences. May precious and fond memories remind you of the times you spent together giving you pleasant thoughts. May God's loyal love give you the comfort you need at this time and also give you the strength to endure. Psalms 119:76
