I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your father. There are no words that can truly ease the pain of losing someone so important, but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Your father was very much loved in the community, and his dedication, compassion, and care touched the lives of many people and animals. He will be remembered not only for his professional contributions but also for the kindness and care he showed each and every day. May the memories you shared with your dad bring you comfort in the days ahead, and may you find strength in the love of those around you. His impact on your life will always remain a part of you. With deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences. Carm & Don

Our deepest condolences. Thank you Mr. Varney for your extraordinary veterinary services.

Dr. Varney was a dedicated and wonderful doctor to our many cats and dogs over many years. I once joked that when he built an addition to the offices that there should be a plaque that we contributed to that addition. Dr. Varney once spent nearly the whole day (a Saturday that the office was closed) to administer a blood transfusion to our dog. He will be missed by many.

Im very sorry for your loss. M.Varny was my family veterinarian for years. He's kindness is what I take with me. Janie Lamirande

Dr. Terry Varney played a vital role in the early days of the Aylmer SPCA, working alongside my mother, Terry Cavanagh, who founded the organization in 1977. His knowledge, dedication, and unwavering support helped lay the foundation for the care and protection of animals in our community. Beyond his professional contributions, Dr. Varney was known for his kindness and generosity toward his clients and their pets. He touched the lives of many and became a respected and beloved figure in Aylmer. His legacy lives on in the community he helped shape and the countless animals he helped care for and he will be missed.

So sorry to hear about Dr. Varneys’ passing, my sincere condolences. Amazing veterinarian, so glad his son followed in his footsteps! I finally got a spot at his clinic after a few years of trying because I knew it was the place I wanted to care for my kitty, after having impeccable service before. He will be missed.

Dr T. Varney was our very first dog’s veterinarian, we were so blessed and hrateful. He always took great care of Arthur and us too! A kind and gentle man that we both consider ourselves lucky to have known. Our community benefited from his care for our furry family members and he is missed.

Our condolences to Dr. Varney's family and our thanks for caring for Aylmer's pets throughout the decades. Robert, Ivanna and Stephanya.

Mes sympathies pour cette perte inestimable. Ce fut un privilège de le connaître comme homme et professionnel. Merci Dr Varney.

Our sincere condolences on the passing of such a wonderful man and community leader. Dr. Varney was such a caring and wonderful person. We always knew that our pets were in good hands with him.

My parents took all our childhood dogs to dr. Varney. When I was growing up I wanted to be a vet too so dr. Varney would often allow me to "assist" with certain simple procedures, always explaining to me what he was doing and what would come next. He was so kind and patient. I never have forgotten him, he will be missed.

Mes sympathies. I hope he could enjoy the outdoor a while at maison des collines after he left our services. He was very proud of his sons, his prefer ate subject when I was visiting him.

May my support warm your heart

My sincere condolences. Great veterinarian and a very kind person. As a kid I would often walk our animals to the clinic for treatment. He was so patient with me as I peppered him with questions and questioned everything he did.

My sincere condolences to Dr. Terry Varney's family. He looked after my dog Tracey. Very professional. Now his son Greg looks after my companion Winston.

May my support warm your heart

J’ai toujours aimé mes rencontres avec Terry et son épouse. Surtout avec leur gros danois. Mes sympathies à toute la famille.

My sincerest condolences to Dr. Varney’s family. I first met Terry when I had my first puppy in the early 90’s. He was also a customer of mine at my place of business and each time he would bring his vehicle in for service, I had the pleasure of chatting with him. He would always ask how my cats were doing. Every so often he would bring in his dogs when he dropped in for service. He was a wonderful man and he will be deeply missed. Hugs to the family.

My dog Bear and I were lucky to have Dr. Varney in our lives at a time when we needed his help. He was generous with his time and kind to a fault. He was a very good at explaining complex animal issues in human speak and often added a touch of humour to lighten the load, he was our vet for our various animals for 15 years. My deepest sympathies to the family for the loss of your father, he will be terribly missed

Thinking of you during this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences to the entire Varney family. We always depended on his wonderful care he gave our dear pets in the past. He will surely be missed. May he now Rest in Peace 🐾🐾

Our deepest condolences to the family. From Victoria Findlay and Heather Graham. He was a great man.

Mes sympathies a toute la famille et amies

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Varney. This is truly a tremendous loss for the entire community. Growing up, I remember visiting his office with our family pets and always feeling reassured that they were in the very best hands. His compassion, dedication, and genuine care left a lasting impression on me even as a child. As an adult with pets of my own, I never once hesitated to trust them to Doc Varney. He was more than a veterinarian—he was a constant, a source of comfort, and someone who treated every animal like his own. Old Doc Varney will be deeply and sadly missed, but his impact will continue to be felt in the countless lives—both human and animal—that he touched. My heartfelt condolences to the Varney family during this difficult time.

May my support warm your heart

My condolences to his family and friends. We had the immense pleasure of having Dr. Varney care for our first dog Bane. He was a wild Golden Doodle and Dr. Varney was so calm and patient that Bane would be under a trance with him. He is the standard by which we have judged every other vet that has taken care of our dogs over the years. He must have many, many companions waiting for him.

We are so sorry to hear about Dr. Varney Senior’s passing. He took care of many of our pets (and by extension us). We were always so grateful. Our condolences to all the family. He will have an entourage of love in heaven at the rainbow bridge.

May my support warm your heart

My sincere condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of Dr. Terry who looked after many of our pets growing up and then later on my own pets. His kindness was animals was unsurpassed. The animal always came first. What a life he has lived and many of us in the Aylmer/Chelsea/Wakefield area have only the kindest words for a man with such a big heart. He will be sorely missed.

Sincere condolences to the family. Dr. Varney was the kindest man his love for animals was incredible. Thank you for all your amazing work!

May my support warm your heart

Dr Varney was my vet from 1980s (and we still go to the clinic) for numerous animals. 3 siamese cats and Jack Russell Terry mom and her pups. He saved my dogs life when she had a calcium deficieny from nursing 6 puppies. He was the nicest man and vet. He had a horse that lived for 34 years he told me! Yup he loved horses. Sorry he was sick at the end. Condolences to all the family

My first visit to Dr. Varney was in the late 60’s when my teen age sister- in-law and I brought in a weak little Kitten who had somehow shown up on my mother- in-law’s doorstep with a runny nose and eyes. He gently examined him gave him an antibiotic and told us that he had pneumonia and might not survive…so to take him home and be kind to him…when it came time to pay for his treatment Dr. Varney refused to charge us..instead complimenting us on our kindness to a stray animal..Tinker did survive and went on to live a happy life as did all our animals under Dr Varney’s care over the following years…a warm hearted caring man who will be missed…may he rest in peace

It was an absolute pleasure and honour to know and work for the most amazing, caring vet on the planet, Dr. Terry Varney. He was a cherished family friend growing up. Dr. Varney and my dad shared the love (and obsession)for fishing. I'd like to offer my most sincere and deepfelt condolences to the family, especially, Jonathan, Greg and Justin. I k ow he will be missed may he rest in peace. Thank you Dr. Varney for all that you taught me so many years ago. Xxoo

Our condolences to the family and everyone who had the chance to meet such a wonderful person. He was our vet for many years and his kind soul and bright smile always lit up the room. A life well lived and his memory will live on.

I was saddened to learn of Dr Varney’s passing. He had been our family’s vet for years. Eventually he became my very first cat’s vet as well. He was a very kind man, gentle and caring w our pets. Ive only ever heard people speak positively of him, which is a great measure of a good person. Thank you for helping countless animals over the years.

May my support warm your heart

My deepest sympathy to the families and friends 🙏🕊️❤️

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Deepest sympathies to the Varney family. Always received great service from Terry and now Greg for over the 50+ years that we have been a loyal client.

Although we live on different sides of the Atlantic Ocean we became very good friends with Terry more than 25 years ago. Initially being introduced to him through his longstanding vetinary care for pet dogs and cats of Canadian based family and then building an enduring friendship through a shared love of fishing. Meeting up on annual visits to Ottawa was always a delight whether on water or dry land. To us, Terry represented the very best of Canada - he was modest, kind, generous of spirit and always amused us with his wry sense of humour, even through his difficult final years. It was an enormous pleasure to know Terry and an honour to be considered his friends. We will miss him greatly. Goodbye dear friend. Ian and Sue

Greg, to you and your family, I offer my sincere condolences. Your Dad was such a comfort to me. I thought of him as a sort of "people-with-pets whisperer." You certainly have your Dad's gifts. What a legacy he leaves behind. Mike

May my support warm your heart

My sincere condolences to the family. Dr. Varney was my vet for my cats. He showed deep caring for animals and it showed. He was always lovely to talk to. I am sure he has left his impact on many. He will be missed.

Mes condoléances à la famille de Dr. T. Varney. J'ai transigé pendant de nombreuses années avec Dr. Varney et son équipe concernant la santé de mes animaux de compagnie. Il était toujours accueillant, généreux de son temps et soucieux du bien-être de ses patients. La communauté d'Aylmer perd un grand homme.

May my support warm your heart

Our sincerest sympathies to the Varney family. We were recommended Dr Varney when we moved to Chelsea close to 40 years ago, and we have continued at Aylmer Veterinary Clinic since, due to him. Dr Varney (or as he was known in our family “Dr Barney”) showed true delight and care in our dogs. He would even waive the fee for a small issue, saying it was not worth the effort of payment. His delightful current staff maintain his high level of trust and care. We missed seeing him many years ago when he stopped working, and miss him even more now that he is gone. Rest in peace and know that you were very respected and loved.

Un homme exceptionnel, dévoué, respecté, comique et empathique, un vrai gentleman. Nos chemins se sont croisés alors que j'étais très jeune. Il était notre vétérinaire. Mes parents l'ont toujours apprécié énormément. Ma mère Louise, Muriel et lui avaient de grandes discussions. Je m'assurais de toujours être à la ferme quand Dr Varney visitait et faisait sa magie. Il a toujours été mon mentor et j'ai eu l'honneur de travailler pour lui un été. Il m'a transmis sa passion et son code d'éthique qui m'ont confirmé que je voulais "être" vétérinaire. Même si j'avais 17 ans, il m'a toujours vouvoyée, il a corrigé mon orthographe francophone "pilule" avec un seul "l". Il a surtout pris le temps de m'enseigner et de m'expliquer la base de cette vocation qu'est la médecine vétérinaire. Sa mémoire restera à jamais gravée dans mon coeur. Ce n'est qu'un au revoir Dr Varney. Mes profondes condoléances à toutes la famille. Je pense à vous tous dans ces tristes moments.

As long time fateful clients, we were greatly saddened in learning of the passing of our cherished veterinarian Dr. Varney. We wish to express our deepest condolences to the family. We feel truly privileged to have known him and are especially grateful for the many years he dedicated to caring for our beloved pets with such compassion, professionalism and kindness. Dr. Varney touched many lives both human and animal, always committed to their well-being and comfort. Our thoughts are with the family through the difficult time ahead. May we all share fond memories. The Daigneault Family Dyne, Yves, Roch
