Dr. Bonner was my pediatrician and doctor into my teen years. He was so kind and gentle. I will never forget him meeting us at his office at 11pm one night when I had a bone stuck in my tonsil. He was a total class act. His secretary was also very kind. I can't remember her name but she was with him for a very long time. RIP Doctor Bonner..

Was my doc and neighbor as a child. Good man. One of my 1st friends was his daughter, Elizabeth. He stitched my head on her bed in the 60's.

Dr. Bonner was my pediatrician from the time I was a newborn until I was a teen. Those doctor visits are a part of my childhood memories, even though I haven't seen him since I was 14 and he retired soon after. I always remembered him being so kind and sweet, I always left his office with a sucker or a piece of candy. I attended the funeral with my father to pay my last respects. May Dr. Bonner rest in peace and I pass on my condolences once more to the entire family. His legacy will always be carried on by the many children he helped and he will always be a part of my memories.

I was always so impressed with how the Bonners appeared to be such a loving couple and what a fine example they were to us. My thoughts are especially for Frank whom I miss seeing.

He was a wonderful doctor to me and my siblings from babies through childhood. He had to nudge me out the door when I became a teen. I loved the safety suckers that were cold from the fridge. My prayers are with his family as I know he will be missed.

Doctor Bonner was my pediatrician when I was little. I really did like him. He always gave us stickers, suckers or a popsicle before leaving his office. I always thought he would by my children's pediatrician. He will be truly missed.
