John C. Gall

I found this obituary after Dr. Gall's name came up in our family conversation. I was telling my son, now 36, that we had the best pediatrician in the world when he was a baby. Dr. Gall was part pediatrician, grandfather, prophet, kind neighbor, sage, brilliant scientist, mental health counselor and Mr. Rogers, all rolled into one amazing human being! As a new mom with a baby prone to asthma, I was terrified. He reassured me I had a good intuition as a mom, that I was up to the task, and...

Carol: Very saddened to hear of John's passing. Kathy and I enjoyed having you and John as our neighbors in Ann Arbor. Our sincere condolences to you and all of John's family.

Dr. Gall will always be a conversation piece in my family. He was the pediatrician to all six of my children. Just the other day I shared a story with my daughter (one she heard many times. Dr Gall stories never get old in my house.), of my experience with Dr Gall after the delivery of my last child. He came to the hospital that morning (as he did after the delivery of all my children) He had a concern look and he said, "Mother are you ok?" I was smiling because I was glad to see him and I...

Dr.Gall was my pediatrician when I was a child and he was the best im very saddened to hear about his passing He lived a great life! I was looking for a doctor for my baby im gonna have and I only wish he was still here to be her pediatrician may he rest in peace and bless his family!!

Dr. Gall was a truly amazing man and a wonderful pediatrician. We are blessed with having known him.

When my wife (Barb) was pregnant with our daughter (Emma) in 1999, we did our usual "rule of 3" practice for important decisions, and interviewed 3 pediatricians. With the first two, we had very careful, logical discussions about babies. When we met John, he took us into his back room, and with a twinkle in his eye, before we could even begin asking our carefully prepared questions,...

I very much appreciate the condolences and kind words about my husband, John Gall. Losing him has been most difficult for me and I find comfort in the messages you have posted. My e-mail is [email protected] if anyone cares to contact me directly.

I got to know John after he moved to Minnesota. He was such a bright, thoughtful, story filled man. I always enjoyed conversation at his house with John and his wife Carol. He'll be dearly missed.

We just learned of Dr. Gall's death. He was our children's pediatrician and a wonderful physician and person. He had an exceptional ability to connect with children (and their parents). We feel blessed to have known him.

Dr. Gall was a wonderful pediatrician. Particularly for a first time parent, he was so calm and reassuring he made it so much easier for me and surely for my children as well. My kids loved going to see him and never once cried when they got a shot because he was so good at distracting them. He was a truly gifted doctor along with all his other accomplishments. All my sympathy to his family.
