Not sure what to say?

I remember when Dr Sitter delivered Becky 31 years ago (last month...)He told me if I named the baby after him, I would get the delivery charge for free! LOL. He was a great man! I sure do miss him! I have a new Dr now, he's ok, but no one can ever fill Dr Sittner's shoes!

So Sorry for your loss. He is free

Dr Sittner was my doctor through all 3 of my pregnancies and he was the very best! He only delivered my first (he wasn't on call for the other 2) but I never doubted that I was in the best hands for medical care! He will be greatly missed, sad to hear he is gone, but glad that he passed peacefully

We were saddened by Dr Sittners death. He had been my doctor for 40 plus years and knew just what to say to make even bad news not so bad. He touched the heart of everyone who knew him and we're sure he is smiling down on all of us here and will be waiting to greet us all in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers to his family.

Gayla and Family,
Larry's name has come up so many times while reminiscing of Horse Shows of the past. His friendly and humorous personality still has us smiling and chuckling and always will! Please accept our sincere condolences and Gayla, you are in our thoughts.

Based upon my last conversation with Dr. Sittner in his office a few months ago, I am confident that his obituary is written just as he would have wanted it. He was the best. He truly cared about his patients...not just their physical needs but also what was going on in their lives. His advice and council were thoughtful and wise. He shared with me that he had discussed what was inevitable with his family and that all of you were at peace. That doesn't make this any easier for any of us....

We are sorry for your loss. You have our deepest sympathies.

Dr. Sittner was my Dr. and my friend. I have known him for 46 years. I also had to fortune to have worked with him as well at Sanford Hospital. I will never forget how smart and caring he was. He will be deeply missed! I am grateful for seeing his funny side too. He had a wonderful sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, Thank you for sharing him with everyone all these years, it truly was a blessing.

My heart was sad as I learned about Dr. Sittners passing. Not only was he my doctor since I was born he was there to help me through my child being born and our grandchildren. He was an amazing person and took care of my entire family. He was that small town doctor in a bigger town, but he never treated us like a number. Thank you to his family for sharing him with all of us even for the middle of the night calls that he would take. I still remember him coming to my home as a child because I...
