Dr. Kinley treated me for a very rare neurologic disease before I was diagnosed. He told me, no matter what the diagnosis may be, the treatment would be the same. After my diagnosis finally came the following year, I found that the standard treatment for my condition was exactly what Dr. Kinley prescribed. I have marveled at his medical vision ever since. He was a wonderful man. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Don´s passing . He was always a wealth of knowledge on and off the ice rink.

I am sad to hear of the death of Dr. Kinley. I remember when he first came to the area and became Dr. Chard´s partner.
I worked with him in the operating room of BMH for many years. My condolences to his family.

I'll be brief, too. Dr Chard and Dr Kinley made a great team. Brattleboro was fortunate to have them.

Don Kinley and I spent many hours on cross country skis together. He was a dear friend.

Dr. Kinley gave passionately to everything he got involved in from his amazing family, the practice of medicine to hockey and his church. He was an inspiration and he will be sorely missed.

Don Kinley had energy and drive for anything he started. If you decide to do it, do it with complete dedication. I knew him primarily through family activities and athletic adventures. Don enjoyed a challenge and was always ready to lend a hand. Many of us admired his enthusiasm and ability to bring people together and finish the project. His children and grandchildren must have many, many great memories at this difficult time.

Your dad was a skilled doctor with a gentle and caring bedside manner. I will always be grateful for his care and service in this community. We later enjoyed talking about gardening and on several occasions tending to the gardens at Guilford Community Church during cleanup days. He will be greatly missed.

Don will be greatly missed at the Guilford Community Church. We shared many fishing tales! In 1973 Don saved my leg in a skiing accident.
