Dr.Probst was my OB/GYN many years ago, also my oldest sister's. I had been referred to him by my GP as my doctor thought I was having a miscarriage. Dr. Probst was so compassionate when it was found that I did indeed lose our baby. Even though it was very early in my pregnancy I asked him to baptize our baby when i had a D&C. He was happy to do so. My husband and I will never forget his kindness. RIP Dr. Probst.

Dear Aunt Ann and Family, I was so sorry to hear of Uncle Rays passing. It is funny how life is, I was thinking of him last week and remembering all of the devilish things he did to us when we were small. How I loved my Uncle Ray. He just seemed to be always there for us. I remember the fun we had one Christmas when Uncle Ray brought home his "girl friend", Ann from Canada to meet the family and we sang and laughed and carried on. It was a memorable time. I remember his graduation from Medical School and how proud we all were of him. I remember him coming home from school with six months worth of dirty laundry and my Grandmother doing laundry for weeks.
I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you and the family. May God carry you through this trying time and keep you strong.

I am very fortunate to have been able to work with Dr. Probst at St. Anthony's Hospital some 25+ years ago. He was a very kind and caring man with a great sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

March 9, 2009

Dear Ann and Family, We're sending you our sympathy. We only wish that we could have been there with you. The good man that Ray was I'm sure he is only one place. He is now with our Lord and will always watch over you and your family. We send our Love and prayers to all of you. Buck and Nany Klinefelter. Pittsburgh,Pa.

I am very grateful for having known Dr. Probst. After numerous consultations with other doctor's as to why I was unable to have children Dr. Probst immediately found out the cause and nine months later he delivered my son. My deepest sympathy to his family in their time of grief.

To quote Sister Francelle-Order of Divine
Providence-Pittsburgh Pa.

" Death is the sweetest thought in life
It means going home to God "

I am certain that this is where Ray resides, smiling and waving to us all, saying we will meet again sometime in
the future. To bad he can't send an email.

May God bless and protect you all.
