/b/veterinary-news/posts/5912 VetSurgeon is sad to report that Sam Duff, a much loved figure in the profession, died last weekend. Sam qualified from Edinburgh in 1970, and was a partner in mixed practice in Fife until 2002. More recently, he was a director of Equitique Ltd, anen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/b/veterinary-news/posts/5912Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:33:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:d50e7aac-d02a-433e-b87a-2579caa01ca7George Cooper0<p>I never actually met Sam, as he joined Andrew Orr`s practice shortly afterI left, but I heard a lot about him from locals. I may be wrong, but I think the new practice building in St Andrews is a partial testament to his career.</p> <p> &nbsp;I would like it noted that Mr Orr died this year at a ripe old age, practically unheralded.Being an assistant there ,I gather, makes me one of legions, but I always found him a very pleasant , if (understandably) harrassed person.We had little in common, as he was keen on the horses and I did the small animals.Now I`m approaching retirement I think I can empathise more with him.</p> <p> I regret the passing of them both.
