Not sure what to say?

I worked at Beaver Medical with Dr.Carritte from way back to the early 2000's for nearly 15 years with him and his main nurse, Jackie. They taught me so much and I am so sadly shocked to know of his sudden passing in 2023. I am now finding out by accident a few years later. My deepest condolences and comisserations to his wife, daughter, family, and friends. He is deeply missed.

My wife was a lifelong nurse and spent much of her career at the med Center in Loma Linda Working 12 to 18 hour shifts. Anyways one morning on her way to work she realized she was in Stater Brothers instead of the hospital. She was just so stressed all the time. Anyways... On her next visit with Dr. Carritte She laid that little incident to him thinking that he would find that funny. His response was a very serious...Oh really... Kind of like thinking.. this lady needs a psych consul. Anyways...

Dr. Caritte was my doctor over 30 years ago and I still remember him as my favorite. He said something to me I´ll never forget and has helped me through my entire life. So sorry to hear of his passing.

My wife and I always tried to make him crack a smile or laugh but he was pretty serious. Until this joke. How do you make holy water? You boiled the hell out of it. He finally laughed. My wife was a dialysis nurse her whole life barely had a couple years of retirement and she died just like Dr did they spent their whole lives healing other people. The Bible says life is like a vapor, no truer statement. And life just isn't fair to those who need it to be fair. Best doctor ever
