Bob is indeed the guiding example of what a family doctor should be.<br \/>\nFrom those early years to now, he has never varied. He has always been there. This even includes a home visit to care for one of our children.<br \/>\nRecently, I had to wait for Bob for my appointment as he was visiting one of his senior patients who couldn\u2019t come into the office. Waiting to see Bob has become a ritual as his office is always crowded with his life-long patients.<br \/>\nWe, his medical family, understand this. That\u2019s because he never says \u201cno.\u201d<br \/>\nIt\u2019s because Bob has always cared and took the time with each one of us. He has been so integral to the Aurora community. It is difficult to believe he won\u2019t be there anymore.<br \/>\nWe will all miss you, Bob. You are the template for our young doctors. You have been both a physician and a friend.<br \/>\nCongratulations to both you and Kathy, Bob\u2019s invaluable nurse, for the many years of service to families in Aurora.<br \/>\nEnjoy your retirement, the Blue Jays, and the cottage \u2013 you deserve the best!<br \/>\nBest wishes and thank you.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nSandy and Ernie Dubkowski<br \/>\nAurora<\/strong><\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F7410&amp;t=Williams%20set%20the%20example%20of%20what%20a%20family%20doctor%20should%20be&amp;s=100&amp;p[url]=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F7410&amp;p[images][0]=&amp;p[title]=Williams%20set%20the%20example%20of%20what%20a%20family%20doctor%20should%20be\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F7410&amp;text=Like%3F\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Williams%20set%20the%20example%20of%20what%20a%20family%20doctor%20should%20be&amp;body=Like%3F:%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newspapers-online.com%2Fauroran%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F7410\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newspapers-online.com\/auroran\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is with both sadness and congratulations I submit this letter \u2013 my first to a newspaper.
