Not sure what to say?

I just learned of the death of Vet. I wish to extend my sympathy to Chris, Paul, Tiffany and Lydia.

My heart goes out to all of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Message of gratitude for the good care he gave our eyes and for referring Val to his good friend Dr. Reynolds. We will indeed miss his stories! We particularly valued his staff and his expertise. God bless you all. michael and val burke

We bought a piece of land off Farm to Market Road from Paul and his family in 1974. I could tell then that he was an exceptional person.

Hakes family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. He was a great man.

Vet, Brad, Tim, in the duck blind, on the chukar hills, in the boat at Brownlee. Them was the days, I will miss them forever. Max Dean

"Doc" fitted me for my first glasses in about 1972, I was 10 yrs old. He fitted me for my current pair about 3 years ago. In between, we talked hunting and fishing and who knows what. He will be missed. Good Hunting, Doc!

You'll not have to deal with my eye reflex again! Rest well old friend. I'm sorry that I never did get to show you how to mount those bronze mallard wings. Shalom!

Rest in peace Doc thank you for treating my family for years
