Not sure what to say?

I just saw this sad news. My parents knew Dr. Fenster for many years (My dad was Dr. Joseph Freeman), and he took care of our beloved dogs over the years. Fond memories, with gratitude.

Paul was a mentor, an employer, an inspiration and in the end...a friend and colleague as I grew up in Miami. Brought into the MDAH family thru a '6 degrees of seperation" connection to Dr. Karpensky and Randy, I knew right away that I had to learn from this team, and so... I worked with them for a short time and learned from them. I felt like part of a family, and in fact - I even baby sat for David (whom I have not seen since you were 5 years old David...) who taught me how to connect with...

He was my classmate in veterinary school, and I will always remember him as a wonderful personal friend and colleague.

Dr. Fenster was my dear vet for many years until he retired. He gave me counsel and compassion regarding my several cats over the years, and I trusted and relied on him completely. My thoughts and prayers are with him and the family. What a great man.

Dear Mary, It was with a sad heart that I learned of Paul's passing. I can recall so many memories of this dear man. I'm sending my love and prayers your way. with love...Dianne

My condolences to Dr. Fenster's Family...

Dear Mary,
Paul was the first vet I ever had for whom my dog would get so happy just knowing she was in the parking lot and getting ready to see Dr. Fenster. Tail wagging and happy, she would lead me to the office door. I will always remember the good ole days and you and Paul. My thoughts and prayers are with you and David at this time. Love, Billie

Dr. Fenster was our Vet, in Miami, until he retired. Dr. Fenster not only had a deep knowledge of Veterinarian Medicine but his kind, compassionate and deep love for our dogs will never be forgotten.
Our deepest condolences on his passing. God Bless him and keep him forever in His Embrace. Our sympathy to the family.

Dear Mary, We were saddened to learn of Paul's death. He was so much fun and taught me so much about care of my pets. I'm going to find and view your son's film. I'm sure you are very proud of him. We send you our best.
