Dear Ellen and family, I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Becker's passing. I started working part-time at Cambridge Vet Services when I was 13 years old, and continued to work there throughout my first year of vet school. Dr. Becker was always a source of inspiration and support for me, and will always hold a special place in my heart. I graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2006 and started practice in Alberta, where I have thought of Dr. Becker often over the years. I will forever remember his kindness, compassion, and wit. My deepest sympathies to you all. Mandy (Monkhouse) Emery
