I have worked with Dr Young for 20+ years. He was the face of Penns Valley. He was not only Dr for the residence of Penns Valley, but he was an active part of that community. He will be sorely missed as their Dr, but also their friend.

Greg and I were so saddened to hear about Dr Young's passing. He was a wonderful doctor who had a heart of gold. I learned a lot from him during my 5 years taking care of some of his patients at the pharmacy as well as from being a patient myself. Our prayers go out to the Young family.

What a shock to get an e-mail about Bill's passing! Our deepest sympathy to the family. As one who was deeply involved in the start of the Medical Center, we were so pleased that Bill was one of our first physicians there. He certainly made an impression in the area, and will be deeply missed, not only for his medical skills, but also for his sense of humor, his caring, his compassion. I was privileged to be pastor at St. John's, where he had his membership, and remember the contribution he made to the congregation. Indeed, we felt that he and Mary Lou were really a part of our family; he even wanted to "adopt" one of our sons! He will be sorely missed! God bless you, Mary Lou, and Gretchen and Jonathan.

I just wanted to send my sympathies and tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your loved one. A friend of mine, Wanda, from Cafemom has been telling me all about what a wonderful man Dr Young was.

We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Young's passing. He was a caring doctor who always took the time to explain things and to listen. He would often call after office hours to check on one of us when he was concerned.
Dr. Young was so thoughtful and caring - I remember when he made a housecall for me when my grandfather passed away. He sat for quite awhile just listening to me cry and talk about memories of him.
What a great loss this is for the Penns Valley area and for his family. He will be missed.

Mrs. Young,
While Dr. Young was not our regular Dr., he cared for my family more than once. We shall miss him. The valley will always be a better place because of him.
We have prayed for him since the onset of his problem, and will continue to pray for you.
May the Lord give you his peace in your grief.

Please accept my sincere sympathy on your great loss. Some folks leave footprints on our lives as they come and go. Others leave them on our hearts. "Doc" was a person who left both - quietly.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. Losing my brother not long ago, can relate to your sorrow.
It was a pleasure knowing Bill, not just as our doctor, but also as our neighbor and friend.
Watched Bill and Marylou go for their walks together, hand in hand, thinking they are really in love. We will miss him.
