I have lots of fond memories of working in his office. His diagnostic ability and compassion was always evident in his care of his patients. The office was family.. I will miss him
This makes my heart so sad.
But what a beautiful day to join Jesus.
It was an honor to work with such a great Dr.
I will forever be grateful for all that I learned from Dr Tschudin over the many years of working with him. He was a very caring person and so generous to those in need.

Such a remarkable person. I’ll miss talking politics with him & his hilariously dry sense of humor. ❤️
Having worked with Dr. Tschudin for many years, I found him to be a brilliant and caring physician., a great boss and an over all good person.
We are all going to miss his genuine kindness and commitment to all those he cared for.
I will always be grateful and privileged to have known and worked with him.

So sorry to hear about Dr Tschudin. He was a great Doctor and friend. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies to Connie and his kids and grandkids.
My deepest condolences to the Tschudin family. Dr Tschudin always made me feel like I was his only patients parent. Always was straight up with his information and caring to my children. When I worked for him he taught me so much. I won’t ever forget you and your most caring and loving heart for our young. To Connie and your girls I know life will be very different but he loved you all. He is now in heaven with Michael and they both are watching over you. Love you all.
Dr. Tschudin was mine and my brothers pediatrician as a kid and we loved him and his office staff so much! He was always kind, made us feel comfortable and just a nice man. Praying for peace and comfort for his family during this difficult time.
What a caring and wonderful person. Our prayers go out to Connie and Amanda, and Stephanie. He always treated everyone with kindness and respect.
May Michael and Garland watch over all of you. Dr Tschudin you will be missed greatly and never forgotten .

Deepest condolences to the family. Dr. Tschudin was my childrens pediatrician. His kindness, warmth and compassion helped our family through the most difficult time in our lives. He literally saved my son’s life. He was the only one who believed my husband and I when we said we knew something was wrong. He led the charge to get my son diagnosed accurately with a rare childhood cancer and got us into the specialists he needed.
He was one of a kind. Rest in peace …
