Ernest Robbins Kimball M.D.

Our whole family was saddened to read of Dr. Kimball's passing. The 5 Renn children and 3 Smider children(along with their parents) were so lovingly and wisely cared for by this extraordinary man. He brought to us, not only his medical knowledge, but such good common sense and wisdom about this world of children and child-rearing. My Aunt Irene's children and my children are all adults now with children of their own, and not a one of us has ever forgotten the special care and support he...

My five daughters and I will never forget Dr. Kimball. He led the way for me through all their early years. His wonderful "at home" office location will be one of our fondest shared memories. A tuly special man who loved animals and children and knew the common bond they share. He will always be in my heart.

Deepest sympathy to the family over the loss of an extraordinary man.
I was privileged to be one of his patients, and will never forget him.
In the sadness of his death, it is good to celebrate his great life.

In reading the obituaries, I ran across Dr. Kimball's and was really touched by the lost of such a caring man. Besides his family and friends, I'm sure all the children and mothers who he touched during his life will also mourn his passing. But isn't it wonderful to know that sorrowful things such as death and sickness will soon pass? (Revelation 21:3, 4) I'm certainly looking forward to talking to the good doctor in God's new order. Until then, my deepest condolences to his family.

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Kimball in the early 50's while my husband was in graduate school at N.U. He also cared for our two children while we lived in Evanston. Many inquiries were made at the office by new mothers about Dr. Kimball's caring for their babies, if they were not breast fed. Such was his reputation and belief in raising the healthiest babies possible. And then came the only FREE Breast Milk Bank in the world, at that time, to help feed the premature babies at...

My deepest sympathies to all of you. I remember Dr. Kimball as my pediatrician, and as a family friend.

From 1953 on, Dr. Kimball cared for me and my three sisters, and I believe that, excepting my father only, there was no other man on earth my mother trusted more implicitly. We all remember the red blocks, the deep voice, and the horses in the back yard.
Had I but known, on that sad afternoon when I visited Dachau in 1972, that Dr. Kimball had been commanding officer there after WW II, the experience would have been easier.
How wonderful that this man lived so long to be a joy to...

Dr. and Mrs. Kimball were good friends when we lived in Glenview and Skokie. He took care of our three children, James, Dr. Peter (PhD) and Dr. Sue Visscher, (PhD)
Frances helped edit his book.

While skimming the paper today I ran across the obituary for this wonderful man. What a life he lived. What an inspiration he must have been to all that crossed his path. You are truly blessed to have known such an impressive person.
