Not sure what to say?

My hear felt condolences to the family. I was shocked to hear the passing of Dr Thaper. I had known him since 1978. Dr Thapar helped me and my family when no one was willing to help us. I will never forget that. He was a good person. Always helping and guiding. It was because of him my daughter has gained a quality of life. I will forever be thankfull. All I can do is pray for your soul to be with God. May you rest in peace!!

Dr Thapar was my Dr since I was a little kid with severe allergies and asthma. He was always willing to help me and even opened his home to me when I refused to go to the hospital. He helped me come back from Las Vegas when I was paralyzed in July 2012. He was always so kind and funny, and always making fun of my weight haha. I miss him and I'm truly sorry for the hurt his family must be feeling.
Know that he touched many people in his life and I will l ways be grateful for the care and...

Dr. Thapar was my Doctor. He was always nice and kind and caring to my family. I will miss him saying "Hello, my little Doctor," with his big smile, when he came into the room and saw me. My family and I went to his funeral and it is very sad to know he has passed away. It will be sad to not see him at the office again.
