Not sure what to say?

Jim will be missed by so many people whose lives were touched by him. He was a great dentist, and that is how I know Jim. But through his family I also know what a great husband, father, and grandfather he was to his family. I'm sure Jim is looking down on us today from Heaven with a smile on his face as we gather to remember him and celebrate his great life. He was blessed in many ways, and he blessed so many of us in turn by how he gave of himself to others. May God bless you, Jim, and...

What can I not say about Dr Munce? I was lucky enough to be hired by him as his side kick in 1974. I continued being his dental assistant until 1986. Even at the young age of 17 he treated me as an equal. We went through marriages, divorces, babies, illness, and deaths as coworkers but far mire important....Friends. Years later when my dad diwd, I called him. I told him my dad died and i dont know why you were the first person I called. He said "because we are family".

Dr. Munce was my first and only dentist. I was his patient for 46 years. He was the best. He was kind, gentle, and truly cared for his patients. A few years ago, he showed me my file where he had kept a drawing that I made for him when I was a little girl. I was so touched. Even though I only saw him twice a year, I always looked forward to my visits. It was like visiting my dad. Not many people can say that about their dentists. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. I send my...

I had the honor of being Jim’s dental assistant in the beginning years of his practice across from Balboa Park, 1971-1974. He was good friend, great dentist and we had many good times together. He continued to give wonderful dental care to my family over the years. I’ll always have great memories of him

Dr. Munce was the best dentist I have ever had in my life and I've had many. He was the warmest and kindest person. I was very cautious of dentists since I was a small child, having had some tenuous experiences. From day one with Dr. Munce, I gave him full authority to do whatever was necessary. I had total confidence in him. I especially loved how he would admire his own work with a chuckle. Our whole family was devastated at the news of his passing. We were patients of his for over...

I am so fortunate to have experienced Jim’s love and kindness and am grateful for everything he has done for my family. Each holiday, we counted on him to say the blessing and lead the toasts to friends and family in ours lives and to those we have loved and lost. This year, my heart breaks that he is among those no longer with us in person. However, I am thankful for all the good times and memories and will always remember the joy and fun we had. Cheers, Jim, we love you!

Jim, we all love you so very much. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Rest In Peace.
