Not sure what to say?

I was shocked and deeply saddened to
learn of Dr. Gieschen's passing. My
thoughts and prayers go out to his
family.
He was "my doctor" from the early 1960's until mid 1996. He will be
missed.

My sympathies to the Gieschen Family on your loss. I appreciated Dr.'s care in the 60s and 70s. He will be missed by many.

Our sincere condolences to the Gieschen family on the loss of this quiet and kind man. He always made me feel welcome to the medical community when I joined it over thirty years ago, and his care of his patients I witnessed over that time made Dr. Gieschen a model of what a physician should be. His colleagues, patients and myriad friends will miss him.

Our deepest condolences to Barbara and family. Dr. Gieschen was one of the kindest men who showed his kindness to everyone he encountered. He left the world a much better place. We will miss him.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Gieschen at State Farm. One important thing he taught me was there was something to be learned from everyone. He asked everyone questions and always enjoyed hearing their stories. I believed he was a wonderful diagnostition and I appreciated having him as my personal physician. I think of him with very fond memories.

Barbara- What a beautiful obituary telling the story of your wonderful family. I also remember very much Bonnie's arabian horses, bullfrogs, collie dogs, ducks, and Larry and Jen's 4-H sheep, and your fantastic and beautiful pine forest in Lynn Ranch. Please extend my sympathy to
all of you and know what love and happiness you all gave to Dr. Gieschen.

I'll always remember Vic's never ending kindness to me and the patience he always exhibited while explaining abstract (to me) endocrinology concepts. I admired him immensely. We miss him.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Vic will be remembered for his brilliance, love of nature and his thirst for knowledge.

Is not to die."

Barbara, we will always remember the good times we had with you and Vic during our gourmet dinners.
