To the Kimball family... I cannot tell you how much your father meant to my family and myself after all these years... it has always been my biggest regret not to write to your father after he retired from his practice in Anaheim... I did that when Dr. Charles Plows retired, but felt awful that I never put into words how your father touched my family's lives... Dr. Kimball was my parent's (Bill and Virginia Miller), my brother's (Douglas D. Miller) and my (Diane Miller Judd) doctor from almost the moment he started practicing internal medicine in Anaheim, till he retired... We always felt he was OUR personal doctor and no one else's (at least that's how he treated us)... when you went into the office, we didn't have to wait for hours on end, he would see us right away... I can remember as an adult, he wouldn't deliver my kids (which I wanted him to do) because he said the last time he delivered a baby, he lost his watch (hmmm, where did it go)... He'd call me back at a pay phone while I was at a cocktail party to tell me if I had a strep throat... He even told me as I started parenting to follow through and that your kids would respect you for it (the time you kids, you mom and dad were going somewhere on a road trip and you guys kept fighting in the back seat, he warned you to stop it or you were going home... you kept it up and he got off the freeway near Magic Mountain made a U turn and went home... he said you guys behaved great the next morning and the rest of the vacation), do you remember that??? We, the Miller's and the Judd's were so spoiled with his treatment of us, we never really found another doctor to take care of us like he did... this is way too late, but he made such an impact on our lives, thought you'd like to know... Thank you again for sharing him with us... Diane Miller Judd

Dear Billie, John was a good man. I can't think of anything negative about John. Now I wish we had spent more time together. We hope that you are recovering from your loss. Much love to you and your family.
