Dr. Breiding was the first vet I worked for back in 1999 at Tallmadge Animal Hospital. He was fun, funny, kind and set in his ways. I loved him dearly and so enjoyed working with him. All these years later, I tear up at the thought of him being gone. I am still in the vet field and have never forgotten him or my days working with him. My deepest sympathies to all his loved ones. He was a wonderful man.
