While working with Rose N. at Walden Farm, I often heard high praises for Richie.
Ty and Abby joined our family many years later, and I pursued Vet care with Dr. DeVries. We only met a couple of times before his retirement. You know he was exceptional. I giggle when I think of all the animals crossing the Rainbow Bridge when he was called Home. RIP, Dr. DeVries.

Dear Nina,
You and Rich were our favorite vets over many years and many pets. I remember the first time we brought in our new puppy who was a whopping 2.5 lbs. He was so delighted to meet her and said it was such fun to do a well puppy check. He charmed her and us and set a high bar for her care. We appreciated the wonderful attention we got from you both. We are so sorry for your loss.
Carol Clas and Elizabeth Donati.

To Nina and family;
I convey my deepest condolences to you and your family. He cared for our beloved dogs with the utmost care and compassion for the entire time he practiced at Parkside. He was an excellent diagnostician who put the animal's welfare first. There will be many wagging tails to greet him at the Rainbow bridge. May God grant him everlasting peace. Gail Rosettie (John passed 3/9/23).

Dr. Caires, all your family and the Parkside family,
We are so sorry to hear this news. Rich was a wonderful vert and wonderful person. He took care of so many of our pets over the years and we couldn't have asked for better care. He treated his patients -- and their human companions -- with compassion and humor. We appreciated his wisdom and advice, as well as his ready smile and wonderful laugh.
Our deepest condolences.

Dear Dr Caires,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. DeVries. He was a wonderful, kind and amazing teacher!

Many thanks to Dr. DeVries and yourself for providing me the support, guidance and invaluable knowledge to be a successful vet tech. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We are so sad to know of Dr. Rich's passing. I was a client with my cats from the earliest days of Parkside, and he was always excellent with treatment, advice, and loving care for all my critters. Often we'd just talk, about medicine, life, and philosophy...I told him I wished he was a human doctor, I'd sign up in a minute. I'll never forget his sympathy, humor, compassion. The best veterinarian I've ever had. Peace and blessings to him and family. With gratitude, Jeanne Finley and Ed Landing

My family was very fortunate to have Dr. DeVries be the veterinarian for our dog, Riley. Riley had several problems and died several years ago, but we still remember how kind and supportive Dr. DeVries always was. His death is a true loss. I hope his family can take comfort in knowing that he is remembered fondly by many people who had the privilege of knowing him.

Dr. Devries was the most wonderful, kind and caring man. He became a friend while he provided the most excellent care to my sweet dog Minnie. He saw us through seizures and separation anxiety and was a real comfort when Minnie went to doggie Heaven after 10 years. He even put a picture of Minnie wearing her Minnie hat on the waiting room wall. I am forever grateful for the privilege of knowing this most wonderful man. May he rest in peace. My sincere condolences to his wife Dr. Nina and his family.
