Not sure what to say?

Dr. Swartzlander took good care of my sons when they were young and made me feel at ease with their care. He was one of a kind and had natural healing abilities.

Dr. Swartzlander was our daughters´ pediatrician in Muskegon. He was always so kind and gentle with the girls. They loved getting a penny for the gum ball machine at the end of our visits. What a wonderful surprise when we happened to see him at Camp Newaygo; he looked the same. Such a great man with a genuine smile. Rest in peace, Dr. Swartzlander.

Dr. Glenn, a terrific person, neighbor and friend . He was the savior of Pinecrest Lane back in the 70`s and 80`s where he fixed every kids scratched leg, glass door cut, broken bone and runny nose. Thanks to him for all the compassion and care. He was truly a beacon of kindness, and love Best to Pat, Kristy and Kurt and the entire family.

Sorry for the families loss. He was my daughter´s pediatrician from newborn to her preteens. He was always so kind, gentle, and soft spoken. He will be missed.

Dr. Swartzlander was the best pediatrician for my children many years ago! I loved going there, he gave the best advice and he always knew just what to do at anytime! He will be greatly missed! Rest in Peace Dr. Swartzlander.

My condolences to the family. Dr. S was truly one of the absolute best. He cared for both our sons from 1977 until 2004! He was such a patient man, never making this new mom feel silly when I worried about my kids. Both Christopher and Josh loved getting the penny for a gum ball! He really was such a wonderful caregiver and man.

Always a great doctor to my sons Ben and Joel

Thoughts and prayers to all! Will always remember how great you were as my triplet sons doctor from the day they were born, till they were 19.

We were blessed to be next door neighbors with Pat & Glenn. Many fond memories of Euchre games, fishing Pickerel Lake, long walks for Re-Hab after Glenn's heart surgery. He was a true Gentleman. He was helping me build a deck & being the good guy he was, he held a board while I drove the nail. Problem was I hit his finger . It showed up in an X-Ray taken holding a baby !! Jim & Jackie Toppen
