I was sad to hear the news about Moose. If there was one thing he taught me, it was not to take life too seriously, one many people learn too late. No matter how busy or stressed I was at work he always gave me a reason to laugh. I will continue to tell my funny stories and pass on the jokes shared with him throughout my life. Moose, we will miss you dearly.

I was sad to hear about Moose. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. I worked with him for a year and grew to care about him. He had a tough exterior at first, but I saw the great man behind his talent. He will be greatly missed.

Moose helped me get over shoulder surgery. He tried pulling my arm above my head but it just made my back arch...ouch! He then started me on machines I could conquer and weights that were overpowering. When his back was turned, I would lower the weight because the weight he wanted me to do was heavier than me. I don't think he ever caught on, but who knows with the eagle - eyed Moose. I was soon able to raise my arm above my head...what an amazing and funny man. Enjoyed my hour with him. He lost a bet to me and had to massage my shoulders. Shouldn't bet with a teacher. My condolences to his family. Moose was one of a kind. Lorraine Gerardo Reed

I was a physical therapist with Moose at Colorado Sport and Spine. I was so sad to hear about Moose's passing. The staff was talking about Moose and everyone had wonderful happy stories to tell about how he made us all laugh and made each and every day more fun. He truly touched each staff member and patient in a positive way and will be missed. Brent Lewandowski

I was saddened to hear that Moose had passed away. I worked with Moose for a little over 2 years. During that time it was our mission to make each other laugh at often inopportune and inappropriate times. I think Moose would agree that things are funnier at those times! Moose made the work environment enjoyable for me as well as the patients that he saw. He touched alot of lives in the community. I often have patients that have been treated in the past by Moose and they always ask about him. On his business card he had "AAGG" which stood for all around great guy! That he was, and he will be missed

I was the Hand Therapist with Moose for 6 years and I always knew Moose had my back. He watched out for me if he felt the patient I was sitting across the table was "pestering" me. He could be gruff on the outside but was a marshmallow on the inside. He was always there for his fellow employees, willing to share his vast knowledge. He had great jokes. Moose, I miss you already.

I was shocked and saddened to hear that one of my best and long-time friends had passed away. Moose and I went back 40 years and during that time we shared a lot of laughs and tears. If you were befriended by Moose, you had a friend for life. He was truly one-of-a-kind and he will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Moose meant so much to me and was my mentor early on in my career. He was inspirational to me in following up with getting my degree as a PTA and follow in his footsteps. I hope I can utilize all I learned from him and honor his tradition by continuing to treat patients the way he treated them. I will be there this Friday to honor him.

With deepest admiration,

So incredibly sad to hear this news. Moose was such a larger than life spirit; he kept the entire PT clinic in stitches with his funny comments and stories. Patients would actually LOVE coming to PT; they loved having a stand-up comedian while they exercised. Many patients would return to visit long after they'd been discharged, simply to chat with Moose. He had such a way of relating to patients of all ages...in one moment he'd be instructing a young "know-it-all" buck why he needed to follow his instructions - and the next moment, he'd be lending his arm and walking a little elderly lady out to her car. He helped so many in his lifetime and will be so sorely missed. Our condolences to his entire family.
