I worked for Dr. Ayres for 13 years at OrthoVa at the JW office. He was a joy to work with. He was a super boss and treated his staff with respect.

Condolences to his family. Rest In Peace sweet man. I love you.

Condolences to Jacks family. I knew Dr Ayres through Chippenham hospital where we worked together for many years. He was a talented orthopedic trauma surgeon and I know of many lives he saved.

My sincere condolences to Dr. Ayres family. I worked at the JW office with him some years ago. Loved him, such a sweet funny guy! He will be sorely missed!
