Condolences

  1. Dear Jean,

    I was so very sorry to hear of Bill’s death. Ariel, my big black cat, never had a better neighbor. I think he liked to roam the block and get medical advice from an expert! i want you and your family to know you are very much in my thoughts and prayers, and have my heartfelt sympathy.

    Sincerely,
    Judy Baer

  2. I am deeply saddened by the passing of Bill Roenigk. As the Veterinary Radiologist to precede me at The Ohio State University, I found his shoes difficult to fill. He was an excellent professional and a good friend. My sincere sympathy to the family and friends who will understandably miss him. I have many fond memories to review as I think of the impact Bill had on my professional growth and experience. My profound thanks for his dedication to the profession and his example as a friend. DR. JIM BURT
