Family doctor made a big difference to local people

Dear Editor: Our doctor is retiring. After more than 40 years of serving patients in New Westminster and area, Dr. Earl Hutchinson is closing his practice.

Dear Editor:

Our doctor is retiring.

After more than 40 years of serving patients in New Westminster and area, Dr. Earl Hutchinson is closing his practice.

He's not retiring the way he had hoped, but finding someone to take over a family practice in these days of walk-in clinics is almost impossible.

I could write a large chapter about the many ways Dr. Hutchinson has helped our family over the years.

I'm certain that many of his valued patients could contribute to what would be a very large book.

My feelings regarding Dr. Hutchinson are summed up best in the words of my morning coffee friend, Ron Spence: "He's been a wonderful doctor for 40 years. They'll never find another one like him!"

Enjoy your retirement, "Hutch." You've earned it!

John Mountain, New Westminster
