My condolences to the family. Sheldon was a client of mine, bringing his pets to me for care, for so many years. I sold my animal hospital, Sky Lake A.H., after 43 years & left Miami for Colorado 3 years ago. Sheldon was such a pleasant warm person, a real character :-) & I always loved seeing him & his pets. After those 43 years of practice he is among those that I'll never forget & who I will always have a special place in my heart.
