There is certainly a special place in heaven for Dr. Loveland and will always be a special place in my heart for him. Over 35 years ago he saved my daughter, Lori Endres, life when I was visiting Lawrence and 7 1/2 months pregnant. She is now almost 37 and I still thank him for what he did.

Dr. Loveland was an extraordinary physician. He possessed all the traits needed to be a great doctor, always happy and taking the time to answer questions. The family was so fortunate to have Chuck as a loving husband to Mary and a wonderful father to his children. He will be missed by many.
My deepest sympathy to the Loveland family.

Becky Cheek-King & Jason King

October 28, 2014

Dr. Loveland won my respect at work when he was willing to use his lunch hour to consult with a team of mental health workers and in-home nurses to staff a child's complex needs. Then when becoming our pediatrician he came to the hospital on a holiday to check on my newborn and to tell us that she was unexpectedly born with a developmental disability. His compassion and grace in breaking the news to us was remarkable, calming, and greatly appreciated. He was very supportive of our family every time medical issues surfaced. He made some of the parental struggles that we have faced just a little easier.

And his willingness to see all of the Shelter foster children was just one more gift he gave to Lawrence. He was appreciated and will be missed.

Mary, Chuck was our pediatrician when we first moved back from San Diego in 1983. One night he called Marvin Bredehoft in the middle of the night and had him meet me at Medical Arts pharmacy so we could get my son started on an antibiotic. He will be missed but never forgotten.

To the family of Dr. Charles Loveland, I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Chuck was with all four of my children. When I had my last they were twin boys Doc would always say how's my little chuck doing? when I would take the boys for a check up. I think he thought I named one of my sons after him. We would always smile and laugh at that. He was a wonderful person, doctor, friend, father and he will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with Mary and the children. may you find peace and comfort. God Bless you all.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. Loveland's passing. I was in the 9am choir at St. Lawrence from 1994-97 and I remember your family well, in fact that choir was indeed a family.

Dr. Loveland was the pediatrician to all three of our kids, and we were so lucky to have him. He was always calm, intelligent, up-to-date on issues and approaches, compassionate and sensible. He helped us through a bevy of medical issues, and I always felt like we were in the best possible hands under his care. I'm so sorry that he doesn't have years, decades even, after retirement to enjoy his life, and I send all manner of comfort and peace to his family and close friends. With gratitude from the Lassman-Goldberg family.

Dear, dear Loveland Family,

I am so shocked to read about Chuck. He has meant so much to so many families and to our community, it's impossible to express what a loss his passing is. Chuck doctored all 4 Wasson children through delivery into teenage and they loved Dr. Chuck!
We will miss his happy countenance, his wise advice and his many contributions to Lawrence. I'll be praying for you all through this season of mourning. Love, Barb

When we moved to Lawrence in 1996, we asked our realtor, Dennis Snodgrass, to recommend a pediatrician for our boys (then aged 4 and 9). His suggestion to see Dr. Loveland proved to be perfect. As a mom, I always especially liked the pictures in the waiting rooms of his children at various ages. Our family sends its prayers and thanks for many years of Dr Loveland's care and guidance. Kay, Tom, Tyler & Jeff Carmody

Mary Conn

When my daughter Libby was six weeks old she became ill with an unexplained fever. She had been born prematurely and didn't even weight six pounds yet. We were terrified. Dr. Loveland had a wonderful calming effect on everyone and took wonderful care of her. I'm sure there are thousands such stories, but what a wonderful thing to know how much he helped the children of this community and their families.
