Not sure what to say?

Our family will never forget you, Dr. Bones

I was not there at his funeral, but Dr. Bones was my pediatrician when I was a child (I´m 26 now) My favorite memory of Dr. Bones was when he would draw animals on popsicle sticks at every appointment for me to take home!! So sorry to hear about his passing. Rest In Peace, Dr. Bones

Dr. Bones was all of my children´s pediatrician. Dr. Harrington came on when I had my third. He was the BEST pediatrician ever. He explained all shots that were given and if there was a new one out he would talk to us about the pros and cons. He always had the nurses give the shots so the kids wouldn´t be afraid of him. He always had time to talk to you about any questions you may have. My mother met him once and said he was the best pediatrician she had ever met, and she had met a lot in her...

Dr. Bones was my dr. In the 90s and 2000s. I remember him drawing pictures for me and my siblings, the dinosaur curitans in the rooms and his ability to make you feel listened too. I think of him fondly and I know he touched many people's lives. Dr. Bones was a wonderful doctor. He will be greatly missed.

So very sorry to hear of Dr. Bones passing. He was my favorite doctor at Bones, Dwyer and Austin. I remember well the pictures he would draw on my tongue depressors. Such a good doctor with a kind disposition and caring attitude.

Dr. Bones was a great physician. I fondly remember the tongue depressor drawings. So glad I got to see him recently. Rest in Peac,Dr. Bones

I worked for Dr. Bones right out of high school in 1965. I weighed the children and prepared them for the check ups. Working for him was my first and best job. I was terrified of getting shots, but when I got sick, he gave me a shot that I hardly felt and I was no longer afraid. God bless his family.

My sympathies to the family. I have fond memories of Dr. Bones as my pediatrician in the 70's. He made doctor visits not so scary. Rest in peace, Dr. Bones.
