Raymond Buelow Obituary
Dr. Raymond Buelow died April 19, 2015 at the age of 81. An air force veteran and graduate of North Dakota State University, he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University, and a Master of Science in Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Colorado State University. He served as an elder at Good Shepherd Lutheran church, was president of the Santa Barbara-Ventura Veterinary Medical Association and on the board of the Marguerite Doe Foundation, as well as maintaining a practice at Foothill Pet Hospital for over 35 years. A lover of the great outdoors, Ray especially enjoyed fishing - fish feared him in the mountains, ocean, and even off the coast of Baja. He is survived by wife Margret Buelow, son Doug Buelow (Karen), daughter Jonelle Patrick (Steve), brother Fred Buelow, sisters Lucille Buelow and Carol Owens, and six grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Goleta on Wednesday, April 29 at 11:00 a.m. If you'd like to honor Ray's memory, donations can be made to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, in lieu of flowers.

Dr. Buelow was great with our dogs and cats. He was so smart and serious about their care. And below that serious exterior he had a great sense of humor.
My husband, who is beyond serious about every detail of his own work, was very impressed with the design of Dr. B's office. When he mentioned it to him he took delight in telling us just how he'd gone about designing the building.
About 2 weeks ago my husband happened to mention that conversation, and how he missed our visits with the Doc. He also laughed, reminding me that I'd asked Dr. B if he'd be my General Physician !
RIP Raymond Buelow. You took great care of all God's creatures, great and small....

I wanted to offer my condolences and a comforting thought. John 3:16- For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
