Dear Dr. O'Neill, Staff & Family

It was March 1979 for the birth of our first child and then the 2nd child in Dec. 1982 Christmas Eve! You came 1st thing on Christmas morning to come and see her and said how beautiful she was and that she was in perfect health. How you always had a smile on your face and your calm demeanor brought comfort to us.

My girls truly enjoyed going to your office as I knew that your advice reassured us always.

Your positive personality and love...

For you Doctor O'Neill. He was my Doctor from 1954-1973. I am sorry I just found out. I was thinking about him and google his name and wish I knew then.

Dr. O'Neill was an extraordinary doctor. He took good care of my brother, sister, and I while we grew up. He was also my daughter and son's Dr as well as my nieces. We all have fond memories of Dr. O'Neill and I can hear his voice. He was and will be the best doctor My deepest sympathy to his family. Thank you. Dr. O'Neill, for all you did for the care of children. As I read the condolences, we all feel the same way. May you rest in peace.

MY BROTHERS AND COUSINS OF MINE WENT TO DR. O'NEILL HE WAS A VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY MAN. NEVER AFRAID OF HIM WHEN HE ENTERED THE EXAM ROOM. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL I ASKED HIM TO GIVE ME SOMETHING TO GAIN WEIGHT SINCE I WAS SO SKINNY! HE SAID, "NO, SOMEDAY YOU WILL ASK ME FOR SOMETHING TO LOOSE WEIGHT"! HE WAS SO RIGHT!!
GOOD MEMORIES OF DR. ONEILL!

Dr O'Neil was a great humanitarian, a gentle spirit and treasured friend. He leaves behind so many past patients and friends, and his amazing light of love will continue to shine in our memories of him.
He has been our family pediatrician, family friend, and pal for nearly 60 years!
I loved his many stories and can still hear his gentle voice and always the kindest words.
I was so grateful to read an autographed copy of his novel. It was a great reflection of the way he...

I will always be grateful that Dr O'Neill lived across the street from us. When my baby girl was born with a heart problem, I could call Dick night or day and he would come with his stethoscope and reassure me that she would be ok. He was such a gentleman, and wrote the most lovely thank you notes after every gathering, in his most beautiful penmanship. The epitome of class and kindness. We will miss him.
