Not sure what to say?

What a great Dentist! He told me that I was his first root canal - somewhere around 1963. Remember it well - "I can pull the tooth for $75 or do a root canal for $300 (I won't talk about how much he lost on the procedure). Then there was the time I limped into his office after I dropped a log on my foot. He then x-rayed my toe. When He brought me the x-ray I ask if my toe was broken? He said "how would I know, I'm a dentist! Was awesome to my entire family! RIP Dr. Purcell!

RIP, cousin Jim.

My sincerest condolences to the Purcell family. For several years, I used to take care of Jim and Marilyn's horses, dogs, bird(s) and cat(s) when they traveled. I will always remember how kind they were to me, and how devoted they were to each other, and to their animals.
