It is with great sympathy to Doc’s family for their loss of one of the most compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We are absolutely stunned to learned of his passing, just having seen him within days of his death. Our last meeting was of great pain, to not only us but to doc as well. You could see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice. Our beloved Maxi was loved by all of us. His business of caring for the animal kingdom was not always an easy one. His love for his clients and their beloved animals always came first. We were so fortunate to have Doc in our lives. We are greatly saddened by his passing. We send our upmost condolences to his wife and daughters whom he always spoke with great love and admiration for. Our hearts are with you. Hugs and prayers sent to you all.
