Dr. Vinzant, you are a very great man I have ever met.Many thanks for everything during my education at the University of Arkansas. I still remember the day when you took me to duck hunting.My deepest sympathy and condolence to Nona, Sara, Jeff and Tommy
My son was the last baby he took care of in his career. He was my doctor since I was in 3rd grade. He took care of our entire family from my grandmother, parents, siblings, and my baby. He was an amazing person. Miss him and think about him often.
He was our family physician until he retired. One doc did it all! Hid diagnostic ability was amazing, and he was invested in every patient/family that he touched. He will be missed. The Clifton Family
A light has gone out in my world. Dr. Vinzant was my doctor, my friend, and my mentor. My sympathy goes out to all those who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace. And, may we meet again.Liz Beaver, Fayetteville, Arkansas
Dr. Vinzant was my parents' doctor for many years. He was the one who came to their home one evening when I was visiting from out-of-state with my baby son, checked him and found he had ear infection. The Peel's bragged about “their doctor” so I went to him when I moved back here. He was so skilled and always very kind. He will be greatly missed. My sympathies to the family.Jacque Fifer
Good friend, great physician, all round great guy with that unique smug soft smile and chuckle coupled with intelligent knowing eyes that was Bill Vinzant! He has been missed from the day he retired. One of the first pioneers for GOOD MEDICINE in Fayetteville. A special guy during a special time. The road traveled with him, personally and professionally has been more than good. It has been a "hoot"!
I will miss him. I am sorry for your loss, he was a special friend and outstanding physician. Tamara Gilmour
I have many fond memories of Dr. Vinzant. He will be greatly missed. Nina (Mac) Langham
You were truly our family doctor, everyone in our family was treated in your office. You pierced my ears, gave me shots, took care of broken bones, dried up my ears with vodka that you kept in your desk drawer and were 'Dr. John' to my daughter. May you be at peace.
Dr. Vinzant was my doctor from the third grade through college. He was positively wonderful. Dave and I will miss him remembering all of the good he did in Fayetteville. Sincere sympathy to his family.
