I constantly think about you and how you were always there to help me with my animals. I really miss our phone calls. You weren't just my vet but a good caring friend. Honestly I thought of you as a family member.

Dr Briskey ( Bill ) I think about you often, I can't believe its been 6 yrs already since you passed away. I'm so grateful that you were not only my vet but my friend. You helped me with my pets and taught me a few things about how to care for them if you weren't around. I will always cherish our friendship.

There is no veterinarian out there that compares to you and I have been to many since you passed. There are no words strong enough to describe your caring and commitment to our animals. You are greatly missed.

Just found out you have passed away. You were one of a kind, and very kind !
You were like what all vets should be like. The animals always came first, not the money.
I really hope you are in a better place and surrounded by animals.
Also hope, your animals have been cared for, for the rest of their natural life.

So grateful to Dr.Briskey for all your care of the animals. You are still missed! Haven't found a veterinarian who can replace you yet.

Dr Briskey is my hero. I couldn't afford any local vets to save my dog and I was making arrangements to say goodbye. Then a friend refered me to Briskey. He performed the necessary life saving surgery for less than what the local guy wanted to euthanize her. There is nothing elegant or poetic enough that I can say to sum up how fortunate our family is to have met the doctor out in Orting.

Dr. Briskey, You will be so missed. You were a one of a kind. Your commitment to animals went above and beyond the calling. Thank you for all you did for all of us here on this earth. Rest in Peace!
