Dr. Bushnell took care of my Mother through most of her life as her Arthritis doctor. I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Bushnell's passing and I will hold him and his family forever in my thoughts. Thank you for being a kind man all those years to my mother. God bless you.

David, Barb, Diane, and Family:

We are sad to hear of Dr. Bushnell's passing. He was a good man and gracious next-door neighbor, always handy with an interesting story from one of his many adventures, or advice on gardening. He was one of a kind!

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
