Whereas, through his more than fifty-five years of veterinary practice, Dr. Timmerman showed unmatched curiosity, warmth, generosity, and compassion to countless animals and their owners. His commitment to advancing veterinary medicine kept him at the forefront of innovative procedures and breakthroughs.
