Mrs. UdvariI just leanrd of Dr. Joe's death today and it saddens me to hear. I was his consultant and visited the practice in 1995. Dr. Joe and I remained good friends through the years. I thought of him as the consummate professional. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Warmest regards, Bill Nolan (williams Group)

Udvari Family- I was so very sorry to hear of Dr. Udvari's passing just recently. He was a kind and gentle man and an excellent doctor. He was my eye doctor as a child and again now for my own family.
My younger son had an eye injury some 4 or 5 years ago (turned out to be minor thankfully) on a Friday night. When we called the office early Saturday morning, he fit us right in. Didn't hesitate to have my eight year-old come right over on a busy Saturday. That's the kind of man and physician he was. I will never forget that. He put mine and my wife's minds at ease.
You are in our thoughts and prayers!

Udvari Family- I was so sorry to hear of Dr. Udvari's passing just recently. He was a kind and gentle man. He was my eye doctor when I was a child and again more recently for my own family.
My younger son had a minor eye injury about four or five years back on a Friday evening and when we called early Saturday, Dr. Udvari said to come right over. He fit my 8 year old son in his busy Saturday schedule. I'll always remember that. He eased our worries. A true professional. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dr. Joe was just "always there" ... I don't remember when he wasn't at church. I loved how he always told me how much he loved hearing the bells play, and his face always lit up with a big smile when I gave him a hug.
He's the only doc to check my eyes for several years, and he never failed to ask how my cat was, how my jobs were going, or anything else going on. He was so easy to talk to, and he was such a patient listener.
Words really don't mean much right now, but I send comfort prayers your way and hope that you "learn to laugh through the tears" soon.
He was a special, well-loved guy and he will be greatly missed.

So sad to hear this. Dr. Udvari was my eye doctor when I was a child in the 1970s, and I still remember his kindness and humor. A good memory. God bless you, Dr. Udvari, and my condolences to your family.
