Not sure what to say?

my great grandpa Will was very sweet and kind, I remember him very well and celebrate his birthday every year. He was a great man, I want to be like him and I hope to follow his footsteps.

Uncle Willard was a great man. He lived a marvelous life. I think of him often.

His skill and his personality were a perfect match. I hardly have a scar on my knee that he made whole. I have great memories of him and his medical expertise when I worked at Dr. Paquet's office where he would come to see some of his Portland patients. He had a gentle loving smile and laugh as well.

I am so grateful to Dr. Rowland. I was born in 1950 and my parents sought him out to help them with a medical condition I suffered from.

I went to see him maybe 25 years ago and tell him how much I appreciated him and the gift he had given me. He was so pleased. I am sure there is a special place in Heaven for this wonderful man. I am sorry for your families loss.
