Dr. O´Neill saved my life many many yrs ago. I was experiencing an etopic pregnancy on Thanksgiving eve. Met me at his Saratoga office dressed in a Tux! Got me into surgery with Dr Snyder and saved me. So very grateful for him.

Dr. O´Neill was our family pediatrician. His first concern was always the welfare of the children. He was a magnificent doctor and a kind human being. Peggy Cross

Dr. O'Neill was our family doctor from about 1955 to about 1976. He delivered two of our children. My life was made better by knowing Dr. O'Neill.

I received the notice on my cell phone of cousin Bob's passing too late to attend the services. But thank you so much, Michaela, for remembering to contact me. As you can well imagine, Bob's wonderful personality, singing, humor & wisdom extended to all his Donovan cousins & researchers & to all those he met with us in Ireland and Wales. Bob made our trips far more special with his joy of discovering mysteries. I have posted his obituary on the Donovan-O'Connor Family Reunion Facebook page, &...

Dr. O'Neill holds a very special place in my heart. He was not only our family dr, delivered me and my siblings he was my godfather. He was kind, gentle and delicate with his words. He left a footprint forever in my heart and the Beuselinck's.

Dr. O'Neill delivered 6 of my children and was our family doctor - my husband George, I loved him very much.

Dr. O'Neill was the first person I met in this lifetime since he delivered me in April of 1956. He was generous to my parents to a fault and even delivered my mother's last child - her 11th - as a bonus. He was an honorary member of our family and was always welcomed there. He and his wife, Sunie, took in and cared for a couple of our family members when are house was destroyed in a fire in 1962. He will be missed, but I am sure he has earned a good place in heaven. Thank you for all you...

Bob was my doctor and my daughter's doctor. He helped me through being a young mother full of anxiety about newborns and showed love and care in doing so. He was a special man. I remember my dad would joke about how Dr
said my sister Anna was on the house since she was the last of 11 children. We all will remember his kindness to our family.
