Not sure what to say?

He was always very nice to me at my doctor visits. He gave me dessert mints in a small bag. He was a very good doctor

When I visited his office he always had a smile on his face. At that time he was my doctor in the 70s.

Dr. Gubin was a wonderful physician and individual. He was my personal family doctor for years, including other members of my family. My father, (Jim) mentioned that Dr. Gubin saved my brothers life (Derek) when he was a baby. He had a very high fever, and Dr. Gubin had submerged him in ice water to get the temp down. This was during the middle 60's, while my father was away at a ballgame coaching. Dr. Gubin was the one I went to (Matt) growing up, I really trusted him and he always took...

Alan was a good friend to my family. He was with my father the night before he died. He gave everyone a piece of himself, and always that wonderful smile and quiet voice.

Dr. Gubin leaves a eternal light burning from the wonderful way he answered his calling to help others and his example and legacy.

I know I'm not saying anything novel, but Dr. Gubin was truly a wonderful human being and an outstanding physician. He was my pediatrician when I was growing up. I have the plastic rings to prove it!! I later went on to medical school myself and only then fully realized what a tremendous sacrifice he made throughout his life to take such great care of so many people. My condolences to the family. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that he truly did make this little slice of the world...

Dr. Gubin was was a delight to work with,
although his voice was so soft that I would have to Always say,"Huh"...This was
with pre-school children in Steele...My prayers are for Comfort for the family...
