Not sure what to say?

Looks like he was the Doctor Who delivered me 42 years ago

It seems like yesterday I was a medical student sitting along side Dr. Hinckley in his office. I was so impressed with his genuine concern, and his deep medical knowledge.... I had originally planned on being a family practitioner but after witnessing the joy and service Dr. Hinckley so masterfully gave I changed my direction- I hoped to someday be as caring, knowledgeable and devoted as this wonderful man. Thank you my dear friend for inspiring this young physician! May the Lord watch over...

Pam, Jody, and Kevin,
Your father was a very special figure in my life and my parent's life. He was a social friend of my parents and the docter that delivered my only child, Erica. I trusted him completely and was so fond of your mother. I also grieve your loss.

From Wyoming: Dr. Hinckley was recommended by his colleague, Dr. MacFarlane almost 45 yrs.ago. He delivered my daughter, Angela Dougherty, on Sept. 9, 1969 (Labor Day) I fondly remember that he was enjoying taking his family to the Ringling Bros/B.Bailey Circus. Then I was an interruption. Again, I've thought of him fondly not only as an extremely gifted physician/surgeon in saving my life (pap surgery) but as a most wonderful caring compassionate human being. Thank you Dr. Hickley &...

I was fortunate enough to be a patient of Dr Hinckley's over 20 years ago. A friend had recommended him to me saying that he was 'the best!' She was right! At each visit over several years, he was consistently so tender, caring, considerate, attentive, and always so funny - not just by the humorous things he'd say, but with jokes/cartoons taped on the cupboard doors in his examination rooms. Even all these years later when I think of him, it is with gratitude and a smile. I hope that the...

Dear Erin, Jody, Pam & Kevin & Family,

We are very sorry to learn of the loss of your wonderful Father. We've been out of town visiting our daughter and other family in Southern CA and just returned today. However, we did have a phone call from Knox Fitzpatrick while we were out of town informing us of George's death. We enjoyed many good times with your parents playing bridge, tennis, sailing, and supporting U of Utah sports teams. As a professional colleague Harry enjoyed his...

Dr. George became one of my best friends. He was my mother's OB/GYN and was the first one that I went to for 19 years. We laughed as he talked to me about the "birds & bees" (at my initial visit at 14) and made everything so easy for such a young girl. He prepared me and helped me through my pregnancies. My health was always a concern and he took the time to coordinate and correspond with my other physicians to help give me the best treatment possible. He genuinely cared for his patients....

Erin, Rob and family: Our friends and colleagues influence the quality of our life. These experiences often impact the direction we chose for our-self as we careen on our own life path. A mid-night C-section or a tennis duo were different but equally memorable experiences I had with your father that has made my life richer and my memories of him everlasting. One fine man!

I will never forget Dr. Hinckley! I loved him from the day I met him!! He delivered my one and only son who is now 20 years old! I cried and cried when he told me he was retiring! In fact, I said "what am I going to do - there will be nobody like you" and he said "I know!" As many people have mentioned, I loved his humor and compassion! I will be forever grateful that he delivered my son! My sincere sympathy to you all.
