Dr Harper was a great veterinarian and was our veterinarian for over thirty years. He took excellent care of all our Doberman's and became more of a friend than our vet. He had a great personality. My family misses him greatly and offer our sincere condolences to his family. May he be resting in peace with our Lord.

I worked with Dr. Harper for several years and learned so much from him. His natural instincts and ability to "read" animals was always spot-on.
On a personal note, it´s somewhat comforting to know he did what he loved right to the end: worked, fished, and spent time with his family that he loved so very much.
My prayers and condolences to all the Harper´s. He is irreplaceable and will be sorely missed by myself and many more, especially the fur-babies in his care.

My deepest sympathies to the Harper family. My fur babies and I will miss you. I always appreciated the way my cats were cared for. Dr. Harper also had a way of taking care of the fur parents as well. He was there for me when my Peanut passed and when I got my Olivia. They got such wonderful treatments and advice from Dr. Harper. He will be missed dearly.

We were totally shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Harper´s passing. He had been an integral part of our pet´s lives for the past 24 years. Our Frenchie, Bentley, has epilepsy and Dr. Harper was so good at working with us on his seizure treatments and protocols. He was always just a phone call away, even on his days off if available. He always said that when he passes away he wants to come back as one of our dogs, so our next dog will definitely be named Bob or Harper. Our sincere condolences to the Harper family. Dr. Harper has been an important part of our pets lives, and we will always remember his love and compassion for all animals.

I first met Bob (Dr. Harper) in 1978 when I was a student at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. I interviewed for a summer position at his veterinary practice on Grand Island. After graduation, I returned to this area and practiced for over 40 years. I got to know Bob through membership in a number of veterinary organizations and the local Veterinary Emergency Clinic. He was always very friendly, approachable, and a valued and respected member of the veterinary community. My sincere sympathy to his entire family. He will truly be missed.
