    Dear Family We wanted to share our thoughts of Mom and Dad. We still tell stories about your Dad's WWII adventures,dental wonders and treasure box. We still mention your Mom's ability to match a tooth color we have difficulty matching a wall color. One of my treasures are Aunt Mildred recipes which includes one on Titchenal notepad Forgotten Chicken recipe. Thanks for sharing your wonderful parents with us. Sincerely Bill and Ginger Bourn

    "Mrs. T" was an irreplaceable part of my childhood, as my grandparents treasured their friendship with Sterling and Rennie. What a lovely, dear lady she was to all of us. My deepest condolences for your terrible loss, from Bill Knaus' granddaughter.

    David and Darryl, My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mom. All the years I worked for Dr. T were wonderful and Rennie was a big part of the office - always a little spit fire! Some of my fondest memories are of working with your mom and dad. They both taught me a lot of life lessons and for that I will be forever grateful. I still see patients and we all share fond memories of your Mom (and Dad). Again, my deepest sympathy. Lynn Welch

    My family and I lived in Edgemont and we were all patients of Dr. Titchenal.
    He and his wife are fondly remembered. We offer condolences to the family.
