I have to add an additional note to what I originally posted. Yesterday at Thanksgiving, I mentioned to my oldest daughter about Dr. Waibel passing away & I said he delivered both you and your sister. She is an ED nurse at Conemaugh Nason & mentioned that she took care of your mother & spoke with your father. Due to privacy, she wouldn't have told me this otherwise, but I wish I would have known this sooner to tell her that maybe she could have told your Dad that he delivered her. What a small world we live in. Again, many condolences to all of you 🙏.

So sorry to hear of Dr Waible's passing...I had the privilege of working with him when he first came to town many years ago... he was always kind and professional, but always added a bit of humor to everything...

Dr. Waibel took care of me in the hospital when I had a terrible flu while I was pregnant. He took great care of me.

My sincere sympathy to the Waibel family. I was a patient of Dr. Manetta, Grab, Waibel, & Beisinger & your father delivered two of our three children (girls). He was an amazing man; so polite, quiet, friendly. Such a gentleman - may the angels lead him in. ✝️🕊️.

Dr. Waibel was such a kind and caring man both in and out of the office. He went out of his way to be a supportive mentor to younger physicians. During one of my most stressful experiences as a doctor, it was he who graciously came into the hospital in the middle of the night to get me (and the patient) through it. He will be very much missed. -Dr. Sarah Schroeder

Dear Nancy and Waibel Family, I was so sad to read of your father's passing and then to learn your mom also recently passed. I am sure that your hearts are very heavy. Your parents were always so special to me. They may have been customers, but treated me with such respect and kindness. They had such love for their family and it showed in so many ways. I feel privileged to have known them. I am praying for all of you. And Nancy when I recently saw you, I apologize as I was out of town when your mother passed and had no idea what you were dealing with. Sending sooo many hugs and prayers, Nancy McClelland
