Chesterfield Veterinary Center

Mike Barbaud

I only knew Mike for a short time (far too short), but working with him, I was able to see him interact with the people and pets who came through our clinic on a daily basis.  In many of those moments, I saw one of the kindest, gentlest, and most compassionate souls with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working.

 

In fact, even though it may seem strange, I found myself wanting to be more like him.

 

If I knew Mike at all, he wouldn’t have wanted to see so many tears from so many people.  He would’ve wanted to buy us each a beer, then regale us with unending stories of how much fun we all had while he was here.

So, If you have the ability and the chance—be it today, tomorrow, or just someday—raise your glass to Mike and try to be more like him.  You’ll be making the world a better place.
