Burlington Wi,

I am deeply saddened by Dr. Erickson's passing. I worked with him for years until he retired. He was a wonderful and caring man. He had a smile that would light up a room. He'd give me candy out of his lab coat pocket whenever I helped him with something. I remember when they were having cake for his birthday and I went in to wish him a "Happy Birthday". I told him that I was honored to share the same birthday as him. He told me "well Happy Birthday, grab a piece of cake and come sit with...

Dear Betty...I just spoke to my mom, Ruth Way, and she told me my cousin had read that Lief just passed away. She felt so terrible....I asked her if she would like to dictate something to the Guestbook online, but she declined and said she would rather write you a note. She just turned 93 and is doing quite well, considering lots of broken bones and aches and pains from old age. She still lives in her own condo in McFarland and sings in a chorus and shops for groceries and pharmaceuticals...

Dr Erickson helped a scared little girl in 1955 who had gotten Rheumatic Fever get over crying each week she had to have blood drawn, by placing a 50 cent piece on her tummy. She could have it if she didn't cry. Wow it worked. She grew up without any heart trouble. Thanks Doc. May you be at peace in God's loving hands. Judy Binning, Whitewater WI

Dr. Erickson, you will be missed. You were my first doctor when my family moved into the Burlington area over 35 years ago--and you always treated me well. You had a sense of humor, were polite, yet asked the right questions of a scared young girl so you could help her. Thank you for taking care of me so well and also for talking care of my family. We all appreciated you--and have thought about you many times over the years.
My prayers are with the Erickson family in your time of...

Erickson Family, I was so proud to have worked at the clinic and to have know Dr. Erickson Sr. He always had a smile on his face a joke to tell and a kind word to say. Always made me smile and look at life with a song in my heart and put a beat in my step. Its nice to know that his kindness and gentleness was passed down to his family. He will always be remembered fondly. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.

Dear Betty and family,
Although you probably do not remember me, my husband and I were Dr Erickson's patients and had other contact with you as well over the years. Years ago when I was a "young" girl I worked as a nurse's aid with that group of wondeful doctors and it was at that time that one of your sons was ill and I volunteered to sit with him thru the nite for a few nites. Years later as my family grew I did upholstery work and did a few pieces for you. Doctor was interested in my...
