It has been many years since his passing, but as I still attend the practice (under a new name) I am always reminded of him. I was a 3rd generation to have his "touch" to my teeth. Just had a crown done on the last filling he did for me. It lasted about 15 years. As many have said, it is not often you look forward to going to the dentist, but I did.

My heart feels truly broken to find that Dr. Gunn, my first boss in dentistry has passed. He was a tremendous boss. So funny and definitely full of life. He chose me with no experience over a hundred experienced applicants and said he wanted to train me his way. Never would I have thought I would still be in dentistry 25 years later. I loved him dearly, along with his patients and staff and am in total disbelief that I will never see him again. Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today, Rings so true. Thank you Dr Gunn for great memories and training that has sustained me all these years. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and office staff.
All my love Dr G,

We were so sorry to hear of Dr. Gunn's passing recently. He was my dentist for 50 years and I have fond memories of visiting his downtown office as a little girl and how much I enjoyed reaching into the Treasure Chest for a prize after my check up. As my own children came along there would be no
better dentist for them than Dr. Gunn.
It was obvious he loved going to work
everyday and it kept him young. Our
thoughts and prayers are with his family and staff.

Having recently seen Dr. Gunn in is office, my family and I were shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. For 16+ years, we have enjoyed visiting him immensely. We were always touched by his warm and humorous spirit. He was professional, but always made us feel a part of his patient family. Although we kept moving further and further away from his practice, it was worth the drive to continue seeing our favorite doctor. Our hearts and prayers go out to his family and to all of the girls in the office. We will miss him tremendously.

I was stunned to receive the letter from his office in the mail today notifying his patients of Dr. Gunn's untimely passing having just been for my checkup 8 weeks or so ago. I moved to ATL 21 years ago asking fellow Delta Flight Attendants if they had a dentist they liked, thus began my 21 years with Dr. Gunn. I send my deepest sympathies to his family and office staff. I will miss him and his always amusing stories and handsome face!

I am heartbroken to hear of the Doc's passing. Who would have ever thought you could look forward to going to the dentist, but I did for nearly 20 years. He always had a big, beautiful smile on his face when he walked in, always had a joke to tell, and always remembered my husband and children's names. And what a GA fan! I was looking forward to telling him that 2 of my children just graduated from UGA! He really was more than a dentist - he was a dear friend and I will really miss him. My heart goes out to his wife, children and grandchildren.

Prayers to Dr. Gunn's family and all that knew him in professional and/or friendships. He was always smiling and such a positive role model. He was my dentist back in the late 60's and also recruited a beau to play with the DAWGS. He will surely be missed by all that knew him...

I was truly saddened to hear of Dr Gunn's passing. My condolences to the family. Your father was the first dentist I worked for. I loved working for him and hated that we moved too far for me to continue my career with him. I have thought about him often since my son is a student at Athens Academy and we see Coach Gunn on campus. It has been many years since I've seen your dad but he always had a special place in my heart. He always had a smile on his face and loved you all so much. God bless you all.

Scott & I were so saddened to learn of Dr. Gunn's passing. He was such a hoot and made visiting the dentist an entertaining experience. He was the first person who was recommended to us when we moved here and was our dentist for more than 30 years. We loved teasing with him and he could dish it back! We would cuss him when something got stuck in a tooth he had just worked on, but were extremely grateful when he would take care of a problem at a moment's notice. He always had time to talk about his beloved Dawgs, always asked about our children and looked at photos of our grandkids. We enjoyed his stories and worried about him when he had his hip issues. He was a funny old rascal and we did truly love him. We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, children, grandchildren and friends. He'll surely be missed.

Though two years my senior, Earl was a friend at Marist when we were there together. His younger brother Neal was my Marist classmate('52). Earl was a great guy, very popular. I will miss him. I send my condolences to his family and only wish I could attend his funeral.

Always been thankful to you for giving me my first job in dentistry straight out of hygiene school. You were a wonderful first "boss" and friend. Seems like only a few short years ago, but it has been thirty-nine. You will forever hold a special place in my heart and memory. You were the first true Bulldog I ever knew, and it was contagious! Your smile, laughter, and humor will never leave me. I will fondly remember you always...Carol Brooks Mintz

I will miss our regular lunches and his total recall of every play played at UGA.He deeply loved his wife and family,dentistry,patients,the Bulldogs,and all people except for the Gators. I still can't believe he is gone,but he will always be remembered by his wonderful spirit,friendship and accomplishments. Always your friend Paul Muldawer

I've known Earl since I moved to Atlanta from NJ in 1977 and he was the most wonderful man and dentist. When I moved to Sanibel Island, Florida I drove to Atlanta twice a year for my six month dental appointments for twenty years and was delighted to continue with him with less of a drive these past two years. We shared a love of books and dogs and birds. I send my deepest sympathy to his wife and family and his co-workers at his office and to Carolyn at the lab next door. Earl will be sorely missed as a friend and as a great dentist !!
