George D. Purvis

He was a gifted surgeon. He operated on my crooked leg in 1953 and it was a wonderful success. I think of how special he was every time I see the scar on my leg. He did both hip replacements on my Mom. Words cannot describe what a wonderful surgeon and person he was. RIP Dr Purvis

Dr. Purvis saved my life in 1969 by doing spine & hip surgery in Jan.and then he went on to operate on my hip in 1975 I needed a hip replacement in 1982. Of course i got through that with flying colors and it is still good thanks to Dr. Purvis. It is now 28 1/2 old. In my eyes he was a genius. He always said God was in the operating room with him.

Anne and I are praying for all of you.

I never knew Dr. George Purvis but his son Dr. John Purvis was my favorite doctor when I was younger so the Purvis family will be in my thoughts

Dear Family,
It was is one of the gifts in our life to have known Dr. Purvis. He was a gentle, kind man,who's dear memory will live on with us all. We send our love,

I was sad to see of the loss of Dr. Purvis. He was the doctor of my daughter over 30 years ago. He was a wonderful caring person. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Through my tears, I echo cousin Marilyn's sentiments. We loved uncle George. Mary Ellen (Mitchell) Tithof

Jan, I pray God's comfort on you and the family as you celebrate the gracious life that George led and the legacy he left behind.

I had polio at the age of 21 months, Dr. Purvis performed four different successful surgeries on my right leg. I walk today because of him. I'm 61.

DR. Purvis saved my life when I was 23 years old. Because of him I was able to go to college, have a wife and start a family. Not only was he a world renowned doctor but a most gracious and kind person. I will truly miss him.

After reading Uncle George's obituary I feel we should celebrate his life as we mourn his passing. He was a caring, considerate uncle and we will miss him very much. Our trips to Jackson and their visits to Michigan are treasured memories. My heart and love are with you as you honor your husband, father and grandfather. Dick and I extend our deepest sympathy to your family.

MY SORROW IS WITH YOUR FAMILY...DR PURVIS WAS A GREAT DOCTOR...I STILL HAVE THE SCAR ON MY LEG FROM A VERY SUCCESSFUL SURGERY HE DID ON ME WHEN I WAS 12..I AM NOW 69 AND EVERY TIME I LOOK AT IT I THINK HOW LUCKY I WAS THAT HE HAD CORRECTED A PROBLEM I HAD AS A CHILD....HE ALSO DID HIP REPLACEMENTS ON MY MOM WHICH WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL....HE WILL TRULY BE MISSED AS A GREAT DOCTOR AND GREAT PERSON

Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with the Purvis family today... Think on the good times and all the wonderful things George did for others. We love you all...

Words cannot express my loss of a cousin I truly loved. I thank God for the opprotunity he gave me to know and love this man and I will truly miss him. He will always be in my heart.

May God comfort you as the Great Comforter at this time. My heart was sadded to hear of George's passing. I'll always remember his smile and compassion. Dorothy Sharp

Words cannot convey my sadness or my sympathy. The good times and the laughter which were shared with the Purvis family over the decades are treasures that will always mean more to me than I can say. Ones trusts that George's strength, warm, and wisdom will buoy you, as well, as his loss is weighed. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
