Condolence: 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

Condolence: Vaughn cared for our dogs and cats since 1992 until his retirement. He was a wonderful veterinarian and person. He provided us and our animals with kind and compassional care through some difficult times. We miss him!

Condolence: Ellen and Family, We are so sad to hear of Vaughn's passing. Although we only knew him briefly from the Kinder weddings, he impressed us with his zest for life and sense of fun. You will be in our thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and months. Sincerely, Laurie (Julie's friend)

Condolence: Dear Ellen, I am so sorry for your loss. I just got back from a family trip and I feel so upset I missed his service. My thoughts are with you and the kids. Vaughn was a wonderful person and a fantastic vet. We will all miss him so much. Sincerely, Carolyn

Condolence: I am greatly saddened by the passing of Vaughn. He was in my congregation at St. John's On-the-Hill United Church while I was the minister there (1985-1999). Vaughn was a wonderful person, an exemplary professional, and a loving husband and father. He will be profoundly missed. Please accept my condolences, and the expression of my belief that his Spirit is at peace with God. Vaughn, I believe, has fulfilled his purpose in his earthly life, with his varied experiences of life with animals with whom he was so comfortable and caring. All those, animals and humans who passed into heaven before him, along with his Guides/ angels, Jesus, and God's heavenly host, have welcomed him with great joy, as he returns to his Eternal Home. Peace to you, in healing your grief, and assurance in your hearts that he will always be with you in Spirit.

Condolence: Laura & Randy Our thoughts and prayers are sent into the universe for you and your family to provide comfort in this most difficult time.
