I met Jody in Auburn while a student there and then continued to use him as my vet for the next 23 years. Professionally I trusted him completely. His instincts were always right and he never missed an opportunity to teach or explain procedures to owners or kids wanting to be vets one day. He was a voice of reason and comfort in some of my most uncomfortable moments when saying goodbye to horses I loved. Loved by all that knew him. Never forgotten or replaced.
Please wait...
