Sadness at Halsey East Animal Clinic

We are very sad to inform you that our founding father, Dr. Walter Vockert, suffered a stroke and passed away on Monday, December 5, 2011.

He will be terribly missed by all the staff members here at the clinic and the countless pet owners and their pets that he touched in his many years of veterinary practice.

A memorial service will be held at Bateman Funeral Chapel at noon on Monday, December 12, 2011.

In lieu of flowers, any remembrances or memorials can be made to Dove Lewis Animal Hospital or the Cat Adoption Team in the name of Dr. Walter Vockert.

 
We are further saddened by the passing of our former groomer, Sue Fiske.  Sue had battled health issues for the past year, and succumbed on December 2, 2011.  Sue will be missed, not only by our staff, but by the many unruly pets that were ungroomable by any other.

A memorial gathering will be held in January 2012 to celibrate her life.  Donations, if desired, can be made  here at the clinic to 'The Shadow Fund', a fund to cover medical bills for those who are unable to afford care.
