Dennis Israel Penner M.D.

My husband and I left the bay area in 2003 to retire to Arizona. I was searching for my former doctors to see if they were still practicing medicine, when I came across Dr. Penner's obituary. We just loved him, and share very very fond memories. He was one of the good ones. So sorry for your loss.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Finding this so bazaar that this gentleman who shares the name with a relative of mine that I am looking up for personal reasons and I happen to notice that HE BEARS a striking resemblance to ROB BONTA! Well, I hope this is not offensive or anything! I had an uncle named Dennis Penner before...

I WAS JUST THINKING OF DR. PENNER THE OTHER DAY. I WAS HIS PATIENT FOE ALMOST 40 YEARS WE GREW OLD TOGETHER. MY HUSBAND LOVED HIM. WE SEEN HIM AS A FRIEND. I MISS HIM AND FEEL HOW GOOD NO ONE WILL TAKE HIS PLACE. WE ARE OLDER AND FELT HE WOULD SEE US OUT OF HERE. WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL AS WE LOST A DAUGHTER 17 YEARS AGO. YOU NEVER FORGET BUT IT DOES GET SOFTER AND THEN THE MEMORIES OF YOUR LOVED ONE BRINGS HAPPY MEMORIES TO THE FAMILY. FIRST CHRISTMAS IS HARD. BEST WISHES CAROLYN SCHIRO

I just found out today about the passing of Dennis. Stunned and saddened, I must express how dearly and deeply he will be missed.

My condolences to his wife and children. You can be very proud of him, as I am sure he was of you.

Dennis, (Denny when we were kids), and I, played together out on the street where we grew up as kids. We were very young and we spent countless hours over the years engaging in any number of activities. One of my favorite memories was of us impersonating "Spin and Marty while galloping on our imaginary horses. I can picture us now.
