Not sure what to say?

Dr. Ettinger was our family doctor from 1964 to 1975 when we were transferred to Virginia. Our children loved him and looked forward to visits to his office. Our favorite Dr. Ettinger story involved our son Jeff. Jeff had taken his older sister's bike without permission. He was too small and too young to handle such a big bike and was promptly hit by a car. The bike was totaled - Jeff had a broken thumb and some minor scratches and bruises. We took him to Wuesthoff ER where Dr. Ettinger...

Dr. Ettinger was our family doctor from the time we arrived in Cocoa from Iowa in 1957. My parents continued with him up to his retirement in 1992. I'll never forget the numerous visits as a child and all his advice. As a double palm Eagle Scout, he strongly encouraged me to earn my Eagle. My sister Nanci went to nursing school at St. Vincents, where he interned. He was a great person and role model. In behalf of myself and my family, I offer Mrs. Mary Ettinger and family our most...

Barbara and I wish to extend our condolences to Mary and her family. Bill and I were cousins and I not only knew him when we were younger and together in Missouri, but I had a lot of respect for him. I'm sorry we were unable to spend more time together over the years, but me being in the military and him living in Florida made it very difficult to get together. Mary and Ann, if we can be of any help, don't hesitate to let us know.

Dr. Ettinger brought me into this world almost 44 years ago, on March 13,1962. He was my Dr. all my life up untill I moved to Seagrove, NC. I still have a lot of memories of visiting his office as I was growing up. My family still speaks of him often. He was a great Dr. and will be missed.

Saddened to learn of the death of my cousin, Bill. The family was very proud of him. He found the cause of my mother's illness while he was still a medical student when many doctor's had failed

My condolenses to the family. He will be missed terribly. He delivered my last two children in 1962 and 1963 and my family doctor till I moved to N.C. in 1992 before he retired. He was a great Doctor

Ann & Bill

Dr.Ettinger was my doctor for many years, and I always looked forward of receiving his Christmas card every year after he retired. He was not only my doctor, but my friend, and I'm truly saddened over his death. He was one of the finest men I've ever known.
My deepest feelings go out to Mrs.Ettinger, and the rest of the family.
May God Bless you all.

My condolences to the family. Dr. Ettinger was our family doctor for many years. He delivered me in 1967 and also my three brothers in the years before. He was my mother's and father's family doctor until he retired. I remember him as a very caring doctor. Again, my condolences to the family.
