Dear Maureen and Family,My deepest sympathy to you and your whole family. I just saw Drs. death notice now and im deeply saddened. I would have liked to go to the funeral service. I am a nurse from the old St. John Hospital. I worked in the recovery room. Dr. Votypka would stay at the bedside of his patients till they woke up. ( He didn't have too because they were carefully monitored), but he did because he cared so much. He put tubes in my sons ears when he was little. Like others said,...

Reading my husband´s St. Ignatius magazine, I learned that Dr. Votypka passed away. I am terribly sorry to have just learned this news. I have treasured memories of the entire family growing up. Dr. Votypka would often give me a ride to school in the Volkswagen, but it wasn´t just a ride to school, it was also time to give great advice or discuss a current event. I will never forget him...

To The Votypka Family, Ray was a wonderful doctor and friend. He helped so many people along the way. Ray was very outspoken and always voiced his honest opinion. We are all saddened by his death.

To the wonderful family of Dr. Votypka - you were truly blessed to have this man in your life. He touched so many families with his knowledge, patience, and care. Dr. Votypka took care of myself and my family for years and no matter how long it took for him to get through a day, he would stay until all patients were seen. Patients had to wait sometimes an hour or two and came from all distances for his services. But he was always worth the wait! He always tried to help families by keeping...

Dear Maureen and family, I have only fond memories of Dr. Votypka and his kindness. He always helped out on trash day without me ever asking, and his care and concern after my surgery was equally much appreciated. He was simply an honest and good man and neighbor. I will continue to keep you and the family in my prayers. Lessie

So sorry for your loss...He was my children's and my MD when we had ENT concerns. I was a nurse at (old), St John's Hospital...many of us "watched" the girls when he brought them to the hospital, so he could do his rounds. He had tremendous insight about the way medicine would be practiced in the future...l remember distinctly one evening when he said...care of pt's will not be managed in hospital as it was then.Families will be instructed told that they will assume more responsibility of...
