Not sure what to say?

I miss you buddy. Hard to believe it's been 16 years. Whether its GennaRae, Dalton, Brady of Jake- I hate that they missed out on time with you. What an impact you would of had on them. I miss you more than you know. I love you Dad

I think of you often Uncle Rick. All the help and advice you gave me with the horses and puppies. We are a 6 Border Collie family now. I always was, and will forever be proud of, and indebted to my Uncle the puppy dr.

13 years and not a day goes by that I don´t think of you. I miss you and the conversations and your directions about life. I wish you were here to watch these kids grow up. They truly missed out. I love you.

Happy Father's Day, Richard. I wish you were still here. I would have so much to tell you. I lost Greg to cancer February 7, 2021. Now it's just me and the fur babies. I see your clone, Kristi, online. It's hard to believe she has two sons. Seems like yesterday Freda would be telling me "Doc and the girls were in" for lunch. Tell Greg and all my fur babies I love them and miss them soooo much.

Dad, I miss you everyday buddy. I´d give anything to be able hang out at the barn again. GennaRae and Dalton have asked about you lately. GennaRae rememberers the Tractor rides every Sunday. I just miss you. Happy Father"s Day.

Dad,

You were a great Vet and touched many lives. You cared about doing what was best for the animals and not about what you were going to charge. You were an even better father- always there for us. I'd give anything for another Sunday at the barn and you being able to watch all of the grandkids grow up. I miss you everyday and realize how fortunate that we had you as our Dad.

Love you,

Richard, It's hard to believe another year has passed. I miss you more every day. Not a day goes by that i wish i could pick up the phone and call you. Why you had to leave so soon, ill never understand. I can't put into words how much your friendship meant to me. You may be gone, but a part of you will always be forevee in my heart. Love and HuGs.

I'm going to contact Kristi.

I still think fondly of Dr. Selby many times a week. Still have not found another Veterinarian w his compassion and love for all animals. My Mother first went to Dr. Selby when we got our first dog in 1966 and I continued to take my pets to him until his passing in 2009. Many times I would catch feral cats and take them into him and he would spay or neuter them for little or nothing. That was just the man he was. I have many memories of this awesome man. Thank you for everything you...

Thinking of you today and wishing you were here. I miss our talks and your pranks. ;) I know you're taking care of my fur babies up there. You will always be remembered and never forgotten as the #1 Vet in the world. If only you were still here.
