Bob was my patient for I don't even know how many years! Always pleasant, reluctantly compliant, always straight forward about what he didn't like but gentle, obviously loved his family. We at Dr. Ferguson's dental practice will miss him! It is so very surreal that he will not be coming in to see me because he was so full of life, truly a happy man!
Farewell friend and patient,
Valorie Hill your dental hygienist!
