Rest in peace uncle bob

I am saddened to hear of Dr. Nelson´s passing. He was an excellent physician who helped me greatly. I am still following the excellent instructions he gave me many years ago.

I worked for Dr. Nelson's and Dr. Milliken's practice after graduating from nursing school. He was a warm and compassionate, a wonderful mentor. I've thought of both of them many times over the years. I will continue to treasure those memories.

Oh, I am sooo terribly sad to hear that Bob has passed away! He was everything you described in his obituary; the gentlest, kindest, most caring, knowing and passionate doctor. He will be missed!!!
