Not sure what to say?

Dear Kim and Cindy,

I was searching for a way to contact your parents to share news about my father. Our hearts are heavy to learn that your father went home to the Lord in 2021. He was such a good friend to my father, Thomas Seu. He along with your mom visited my father regularly here in Hawaii. I always looked forward to speaking with him and hearing how God was increasing his ministry on Molokai. Your dad and mom hold a special place in our family. I wanted to share that...

What a wonderful physician. What a wonderful man. Heaven is overjoyed at his entry. Rest In Peace Dr. Best, you were one of The Best. Diane Lane Snyder , a patient of yours in Butte, Montana

To the family of Doc Best - Please, accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I am glad Doc was able to live a long and enjoyable life. I was one of the Bulldog football players and a wrestler; and I remember Doc Best well and thankfully. The last time I saw Doc was at the cherry stand at his home. Kim and at least one of her sisters were there and we had a good visit...Lots of memories. All the warmest to the whole Best family.

I am so sad for all of Dr. Bests family. I met him when he first came to Butte at Murray Clinic when I had to take my youngest sister for an emergency. I had a three month old baby and he started taking care of her. Continuing with two more children. My husband was out of town and I did not have a car and he always would come to my house when the children were sick. He was the most kind caring and sweet doctor. Later in my life I became an LPN and worked at the hospital and saw him...

Dr. Best was the ER Doctor on call when I arrived with a severe hand injury. He saved my left hand. I have been told by many hand specialists for the past 50 years that the doctor who performed surgery on my hand was a genius. I should have lost my hand. My condolences to Dr Best´s family. I could never be able to thank him enough Rad Popovich

Condolences to the family. We were lucky enough to meet the family when they first came to Butte. They took a joy ride to Roosevelt Drive and got stuck. My Dad pulled them out and from that day on, he was our Dr. and I might add an extremely great one. He was so kind hearted and will be missed by all that were lucky enough to have known him.

Dr. Best was my physician when I lived in Butte. He performed two surgeries on me. He truly was the BEST. I ran into Dr. & Mrs. Best about 8 years ago in Missoula. They looked fantastic and he remembered who I was. Memory Eternal Dr. Best and Condolences to your Dear Family.

Doc Best, you saved my life on June 27, 1976. After a horrific car accident, the medical staff was uncertain why I was bleeding internally. Dr. Best to the ER. You removed my spleen and I was told death was imminent if this was not done. I was 17 years old. Thanks to you, I am now successfully retired. Rest In Peace

My condolences to the family . May you find comfort in your treasured memories and Gods promise to return our loved ones . 1st Thessalonians 4 : 13 & 14 .
