Dr Danforth is part of my memories as a child and adolescents. I was remembering him many years later so I thought I'd share. He used to hit me on the head with my file everytime he came in to the room. I don't remember his secretary. Ut can see her face. He was the best doctor and should be remembered as an iconic person , and I am thankful to have known him and been a patient.

Dr. Danforth was not only a great doctor, he had a magical way of making kids feel comfortable and calm. I was one of those kids and I will never forget him! He was definitely made to take care of sick children, everyone has a purpose in life and that was his!

Dr. Danforth truly was a calming part to my new motherhood. He not only saw to my son, but my family, he will be ever endeared to my heart for his kindness. May there be many more of the kindest of people like Dr. Danforth please be present in this world.

Dr Danforth was my physician from bith till i reached the age of 18. I was a classmate of one of his sons. My family still talks about him and what a wonderful person he was. What a gift he was to all his patients and the parents that he helped coach raising young families.

How wonderful is it to have a place where we can still celebrate someone as fantastic as Dr.Danforth?
I first met him as a new and very impressionable mother. Throughout the years, Dr.Danforth took care of all 3 of my children... teaching me how to relax when the kids were sick or hurt.
I will forever remember how he sneak attacked the babies when he gave them their vaccinations.
He just had a mild & calm way about him that will forever be missed.
There will never be another one like you, Dr D!

Dr. Dan was my doctor from birth till he told me I was too old to see him anymore. As the years went by and my folder got heavier the loving cracks on the head became severe. No I'm Kidding. He was the man. Almost died of food poisoning at moon song Chinese restaurant. He sicked the heath department on them. And Fixed me up. He was a legitimately caring human being. I was telling my girl friend about this Dr. I used to have. And decided to Google him it's 2023 now and he is still on the minds of those he cared for. I dodged the crack on the head once with the folder. That was a mistake. It was part of the treatment. He snuck it in before I left. He looked at me and said that just wasn't the same. It was his Man hug. What a amazing human being. I am blessed to have known him.

I met Dr Danforth in 1976. He saw me through some pretty rough times as a young mother of 2 and losing one of them. Couldn´t have made it through without you. I still tell the story to this day when my 2nd son Brian swallowed a nickel when he was 2 (1980) I called your office frantically...Terri got you on the phone ..you so kindly said "don´t worry, you´ll get your change back in a couple of days". I loved you so much. You´re not forgotten!

Dr. Danforth was a kind and gentle human being. He was both of my children's pediatrician. The first in 1976 Robbie (who passed in 1981). Dr. Danforth was so comforting to me during my son's illness. Then my son Brian in 1978 who is now married and has a child of his own. I spent many hours in that office. I can't imagine how many young mothers he helped guide through those first rough years of motherhood. He was always patient and understanding. Well the years have past but I have never forgotten the best doctor I will ever have the privilege of knowing.

I just saw a license plate that read DAN4TH, and I asked the owner of the car if she was relation to the Dr. Danforth. She said no, but many , many people had come up to her over the years, asking the same question, and singing the good doctor's praises. Then she said, "Isn't that a wonderful legacy to leave?" It gave me chills (in a good way), and caused me to look up Dr. Danforth and I found that he has passed onto the other side. He was my pediatrician from birth to age 12 (I am now 44 yrs. old) and I always loved going to see him. When I was 5 years old, my foot got caught the spoke of a bicycle wheel and I had a deep cut. My mother called him. He was just getting ready to leave his office and go home but he said to bring me into his office. He could have shuffled me off to the emergency room, but did not. He was a kind and generous man. I will always remember him with great fondness.
Happy Birthday June 17th!

It's been over 8 years since you past and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I'm married now and have a family of my own and I can only hope that I can be half the father you were to me.
You were truly the Best Father one could ask for
I am so proud to be your son

I just came across a letter in my son's medical file. It was informing us that Dr. Danforth had peacefully passed away. Dr. Danforth was my savior, he took the time to explain what was wrong, that I wasn't just being over cautious as a first time Mom. He observed our entire family and for that I am more grateful than anything. I was raised in a small town, with one Doctor... He treated our entire family. Dr. Danforth treated my family, I have been unable to find anyone else like him. I am so very thankful that his family afforded us the opportunity to be his patient. Thank you for sharing your husband and Dad with my family. We remember him often. My son remembers the shot of penicillin lol and Dr. Danforth saying something similar to "Come on buddy, you're fine".Perhaps that is why I adored our son's pediatrician... because it was so similar to my sayings , 'It's alright buddy, brush your hands off". We miss you Dr. Danforth, I have yet to meet anyone as compassionate, caring, and worthy of your legacy. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your practice and showing us what should be done.

Hello Dr. Danforth,
I miss you so much. There is no doctor in this world that ever cared for children as much as you. You helped me with my two children, even with my little one at 2lb 4oz up until he was 16 years old and god took you from us. I really wish you were here to help with the health of my grandson, I know he would be in the best hands god has given to us. Love Kim, Dean, Stephanie & Brandon Kuharske

Dear Dr. Dan,
I miss you a lot and wish you could still be around to watch R.J. grow up you would have loved to see him at this age. After you passed he didn't know what was going on, so when we were all crying in the car he would make a joke and everybody would laugh he is like you always trying to lighten the mood.
Miss you so much,
Megan

I went to Dr Danforth for several years until we switched insurance. He was always kind and really took the time to diagnose the issue. I too remember the tap on the head. I am sorry for your loss.

Chris, last month (Jan. 2008) I had a dream about you & I began to wonder how you were doing. I finally did an internet search & was so saddened to learn of your dad's passing. I've been praying for you & your family ever since that evening in mid-January '08. I remember when we worked together in Middle Market at American Express (circa 1992-1995) your loving & caring comments about your dad & family. Please accept my sincere belated condolences. Blessings, ~Celia

Dr. Danforth, I have been thinking about you so much lately, I am about to become a grandmother in November for the first time and I am having such a hard time helping my daughter find a doctor who was always so caring and compassionate. There will never be another doctor or friend like you and I would like to thank your family for sharing you with us throughout all these years. I still have not found a doctor to take care of my youngest son which you have taken such good care of after being born a preemie in 1991. You are deeply missed by my family and my thoughts will always be with your family and for their loss. I know your in a better place but I guess I'm selfish because I know having you in our lives was a better place for us. We love and miss you very much

I just wanted to say that I have fond memories of Dr. D. Everytime he came in the room he would jokingly tap the top of my head with his clip board. I went to him until I was 23. (That was only because I moved, I would have tried to keep going to him.) He will be missed.

Dear Danforth Family, I am just hearing of Dr. Dan's passing. I have read through this book, and I see that many people have some of the same memories of Dr. Dan. He used to hit me on the head with my chart, and he took care of my kids too. When I was 3 years old I came down with Pnemonia, and nearly died. Dr. Dan was on vacation, and was not able to care for me until he came home. Dr. Dan asked me how my lungs were everyime he saw me, and checked my lungs everytime I was in his office, even if the appointment was for one of my kids. He was a great man, and has touched many people. There will never be another like him.

Dr. Danforth was my doctor from the moment I was born up until I left for college. He was a great person and a wonderful doctor. I had no idea of his passing until recently and I am extremely sad to hear it. He will be greatly missed. I will always remember going into his office and having him walking in and hitting me on the head with my medicial chart. I can only hope that when I have children I can find a doctor that is as great with them as he was with me. My thoughts are with the Danforth family.

I'm expecting my first child at the end of May and decided to look online in order to see if Dr. Danforth was still practicing-- he was my pediatrician and I was hoping he could also be my daughter's.
Although it has been about 10 years since I was his patient, Dr. Danforth's memory was so strong and pleasant that I wanted my daughter to be under his care. Reading through everyone's memories of him and his dedication to helping people almost makes me want to go to medical school (once my little girl is old enough to go to school) so Dr. Danforth's legacy may continue...

It must be so hard for Mrs. Danforth this holiday season and every day now that she has lost her soulmate. She has a wonderful family of many children, but I felt so bad for her when she was sitting at church alone one Sunday that we attended the same mass. Please let us not forget the woman who stood behind the man we all so greatly adored.

The Danforth Family,
I had no idea of Dr. Danforths passing, it is extremely important for me to tell you what an incredible human being he was. He was my Dr. until I was to old to see him, then when my children were born he took care of them throughout their entire childhood, and then when my son became addicted to meth, Dr. Danforth had me bring him in and he stopped his appointments to speak to him. He has since become an upstanding man and father. My daughther had twins and Dr. Danforth cared for them as they were premature. I periodically stopped in just to say hi. I am deeply sadden by his passing, but I know he is shining in heaven as he did on this earth. I want to thank your family for sharing him with me and my family. He will never be forgotten and truely forever be missed.

Dear Dr. Dan- I was very sad to learn of you passing. You were my pediatrician until I was too old to be seen by one, as well as my younger brother and sister. We all loved going to see you, you made us so relaxed and comfortable to be around you. As with everyone else, I too remember getting whacked on the head by you! You were always so nice to us. I had my first child only a few weeks after your passing and am saddened to know that he'll never get to have a a doctor as great as the one I had. I know you are in a better place now, rest in peace Dr. Dan,

Dr.Danforth will be missed so much by my family he has been all three of my kids doctor and the only one they remember. He always had a smile on his face. my kids remember him the most because with out failing each time they were there for a visit when he first walked into the room he would take and bump them on the head with there chart, and no matter how bad they were feeling they would always laugh. This is a memory I will keep near and dear to my heart. He will be deeply missed. I truly can say I know he was loved by all. love always the Thomas family, Lynnell, Tiffny, Trisha and Travis Jr.

Dear Danforth Family,
What can we say that already hasn't been said about such a wonderful human being. Dr. Danforth was such a blessing to so many--- he helped so many families. It must have been extremely difficult to share your husband and father with so many....
He never turned anyone away...
He always made time.... he was always patient... he always made you feel like everything would be okay.
I remember standing over our daughter in the pediatric ICU just falling apart--Dr. Danforth was able to comfort me when no one else could. He shared his own experiences as a parent..and how he knew how I felt. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him to pour his heart out to so many day after day.
He was not only a Doctor - but a friend and example to so many.
I am sure that he is still working his magic...
as an angel up above.
Thank you for sharing him with us, he will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with your family,
Dan, Kristin (Berge),Taylor, Trent and Anna Alber

Dr. Danforth was my pediatrician three decades ago, and when my dad (Dr. Danforth's accountant) told me he was still in practice, I was so excited! When I finally had a child of my own in 2003, there was no question that Dr. Danforth would be his pediatrician. We didn't see Dr. Danforth very often--only for shots and well-baby visits--but he got us through the terrible twos. He will be greatly missed, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Danforth family. Dr D. played such a special role in the life of my family, I can only begin to imagine the legacy he leaves behind for you. I met Dr. Danforth ten years ago when I brought my 3 Lb. 11 oz. premature daughter to his office for her first office visit. Not only did he make special provisions for her care, he took special care of me. I was a first time mom who had just moved across the country and had left all her family behind. I don't know how I would have made it through the early struggles without his strong reassuring hugs and words of unfailing advice and encouragement. He will live on through the lives he has touched. God truely blessed those whose lives were touched by him.

My heartfelt condolences to Dr. Danforth's family. He was there for all three of my children and I know we'll never have another pediatrician like him. He was fun, and caring, and warm, and we always felt good after seeing him. How many people can say that about their doctors? He had such an enthusiasm for what he did. A true kid at heart. He will be greatly missed.

Words cannot express how saddend my family is by Dr. Danforths passing. Dr. D was my pediatrician from the time I was two years old until I got married, and has been my childrens doctor since their births. Like many others, the sound of Dr. Danforths powerful whistle in the hallway still rings in my head with anticipation of the door flying open and getting bonked on the head with the file. He made all of his patients feel as though they were his favorite and always managed to make the kids giggle and smile even when they felt so sick, and the loving way he hugged us all and would say "love you dear". We will never find another Dr. Danforth, but we are so privliged as to have had him in our lives and have his footprints on our hearts. Thank you Danforth family for sharing him with all of us. We will always love you Dr. D.

We want to thank for all of the love given to each and everyone of our children. Even when we moved almost an hour away we just couldn't take our kids doctor away. It really meant alot that he seemed to love our kids and know something about them. Thank you he will be missed by us and our children.

My sincere condolences go out to Dr. Danforth's family. I called today to see if he was accepting new patients yet. I had called months ago to make an appointment for my 2 boys, because finally, I had insurance that his office accepted, but since it had been 5 years since we had seen him, we were considered new patients. I was so happy that I was going to be able to bring my children back to see him. He was their doctor for a few years, and we all loved him dearly. Like alot of people have written, we also will always remember the bonk on the head, and him asking "who's sick". I called my now 18 year old daughter, and told her about his passing, she started to cry, and said she would miss him so much. We all will, he was a wonderful man and we will hold him in our hearts always. He had a genuine "heart of gold". Love, Nick, Dana, Stephanie, John, and Jake Christou

Dear Danforth Family,
My children and I were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Danforth. He was a blessing to our family for many years, caring for my 5 children and first grandchild. His waiting room was always full when we arrived for appointments, but he always took the time to carefully treat my kids and calm my anxieties over them. His care and compassion extended beyond the patient he was treating. We talked about my father's death, my adult son's surgery...he would take the time to re-explain what other medical professionals told me in words that I could understand. He drew pictures on the paper table covering! He teased and played with my children. They loved going to see him and didn't want to move on from their pediatrician when they grew older. He was a hard act to follow! Thank you for sharing this wonderful man and doctor with us for so many years. We are holding Dr. D.and your family in prayer. God bless all of you.
Love,
The Gordon Family

Dear Danforth family, our thoughts are with you at this time. What a remarkable man your husband and father was. Dr. D was helped
deliver my husband 42 years ago and was then in delivery with all six of our children 22 years later. He will be greatly missed. As an RN myself, he always allowed me to work along side him in diagnosing my kids. Thats a rare find. Nextcare may be our next stop for healthcare because he will be too hard to replace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you continually. Love, The Bill Udall Family

Dear Danforth Family,
Where do I begin to express my thanks and appreciation to all of you for sharing such a wonderful man with so many families. My heart is truly sad knowing I will never again see his smiling face. He took care of my children Chelsey and Robert for many years. His devoted staff made all of us feel like we were his only patients. After Robert was diagnosed with a form of muscular dystrophy he was amazing to all of us. His love and care and taps on the head will never be forgotten. He was an example of how all of us should live our lives and treat each other. His work at the Child Crisis Center will never be forgotten. May Our Lord wrap all of you in his arms and comfort you in this time of sorrow. Know in your hearts that your husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle was loved by so many that his memory will live forever! Dr. D, we will never forget you and the love and kindness you gave to our family. Chelsey and Robert will never forget you!
Our Love to All of You!

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Danforth for about a year and a half. I remember sitting down with him after a long day of seeing many, many patients and having a one on one. We were talking about reiterment and I aked him if he was ever going to retire. He looked me in the eye and told me that he wanted us (the girls that worked with him in the office)to come in, in the morning and find him "sleeping" at his desk. My eyes filled with tears, as they are now. From what I heard he worked until just a few weeks before he passed. It was amazing to me that he was so dedicated to his work. He was such a loving and caring man, I enjoyed everyday that I got to spend with him. He truley enjoyed what he did and loved everyone one of his precious patients. My heart goes out to the Danforth family, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. And to Dr. Danforth, thank you for your kindness and generousity. You will be missed greatly. May you rest in peace.

I just heard of Dr. Danforth's passing and wish to express my condolences. I worked with him at Mesa Lutheran eons ago and he was
a favorite. If I was ill he would have me stop by his office after my shift and get a shot of Penicillin. I never saw him w/o a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. I know he will be missed by many.

Dear Danforth family,
Our family is deeply saddened to hear of his passing. We had just been in his office a couple months ago so this comes as a complete shock..We will always remember him as the "good old country doc". He just seemed to have a way with the kids as well as adults. He was recommended to us by a friend of my husbands after we adopted our daughter and we loved him from the start. Her nickname for him was Dr. D. He always made time for us even when his schedule was booked and she'd come up with some last minute ailment. Thank you Dr. D for all your loving care and the whacks on the head with the folder:) Heaven is a better place for having you in it.
God Bless,

Dear Dr.Dan,
You were the best grandpa in the world. When I slept over you told me scary stories. When we went to the beach you would watch me in the water. When you and my Dad went golfing you would always let me go and drive the cart around the golf course. And if I was sad you cheered me up. You were always there for me and I loved that.
I will always remember the way you cared for me. You always treated me with respect and with care. You would always make sure that I was ok when I came over. And when my throat hurt you took me to your office and looked at my throat and you gave me a shot.
You will always be in my heart. I will always miss you. I want you to remember that I love you so much and I always will.

To Dr. Danforth's Family....Dr. Danforth was the kindest, most caring, funny and genuine man that gave so much to me personally and to my two boys. He always had a big smile and hug and joked and entered the room greeting my boys with a loud "hello girls!" When my son was at the modest age and didn't want to strip down to his boxers so he could be checked for a hip fracture, Dr. Danforth told him it wasn't so bad...he just had to walk in his underwear down the hall into the waiting room and back!....suddenly being in his boxers in the private room wasn't so bad! Dr. Danforth always noticed my health and he noticed when I lost way too much weight and was going through a very hard time. Although I had come for him to look at my boys, he was far more concerned with me and my health on that visit and he made sure I was taken care of. The last time I saw Dr. Danforth which was about 6-8 months before he passed; he looked happy, healthy and energetic, just like he always did. He gave me a big hug and told me that I looked the best he had ever seen me in the 11 years I had been taking my boys to him. Dr. Danforth is a wonderful man with the biggest heart of anyone I know. I know he loved his family and I remember when his grandson "Danny" was born and he told me that he was named after him..."Danforth" and was so proud ...and shared that with my boys and my son Danny. My family & I will always love Dr. Danforth so much...just like hundreds of other families that he touched! We loved him...because he loved us. He was an amazing man to be able care so much about so many people. We are blessed to have known him and we will miss him dearly. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Dr. Danforth was such a blessing to our family and we consider ourselves the luckiest to have known him. Even after moving to Payson we knew we would never change pediatricians and the trips down were always worth it! His personality just made the girls feel better instantly. It was always so exciting just to get to go to Dr. Danforth's and he always had the same diagnosis; too much fresh air in Payson! We would just laugh and then he would be serious and give us all the answers and reassurances we could need. We especially loved the way he would check on us with as many phone calls as possible and his smile seemed to come right through the phone line! He made such a positive impact on our family and we are forever indebted. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us so many times!
Love, The Halls (Brian, Lani, Brylee, Bryndee and Bree)

Dear Dr. Danforth’s Family,
First and foremost, please accept our deepest and heartfelt condolences at the passing of a father, grandfather, companion and cherished friend. We, like so many many others, have been blessed and honored to have shared part of this life with you, Dr. Danforth. You unswervingly exemplified in your life the true meaning and value of a Christian and you honored the Hippocratic Oath and not mammon. You inspired and cured many seen and cared by you; you helped countless with your joyous Good Samaritan nature and in so doing blessed those countless souls around you. You would always tell us you kept us and our children in your prayers. I know his prayers went out to all children and our Fathers children.
I quote from the Bible Dictionary: “As soon as we learn the true relationship in which we stand toward God (namely, God is our Father, and we are his children), then at once prayer becomes natural and instinctive on our part (Matt. 7: 7-11). Many of the so-called difficulties about prayer arise from forgetting this relationship. Prayer is the act by which the will of the Father and the will of the child are brought into correspondence with each other. The object of prayer is not to change the will of God, but to secure for ourselves and for others blessings that God is already willing to grant, but that are made conditional on our asking for them. Blessings require some work or effort on our part before we can obtain them. Prayer is a form of work, and is an appointed means for obtaining the highest of all blessings.”
Our hearts will ache because we miss you dearly, but we will see each other once more . . . and rejoice at meeting again! Thank you and your family for sharing you with countless of families. May God comfort your family in His loving arms in the days ahead.

I called today to make an appointment for my 2 year-old daughter, Abygail. Dr. John was not just our family's doctor, but my family's doctor when I was a child with my 2 brothers, Tod & Troy. My father and late mother, Wayne & Nancy were also very fond of Dr. John. He was more than just a doctor to us, but a supportive friend to the entire family. He will be truly missed by us all. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the entire family, but most of all we praise God for the love and care Dr. John gave to all he came in contact with not just as patients but as extended family members in his practice and life. Heaven, get ready for a fun and joyful spirit that the Lord has called home. God bless you, Dr. John.
Most Sincerely,
Ty Legg and family

When I heard the news of Dr. Danforth's passing, I was deeply saddened. He had a very big personality and a booming voice that I loved.
He treated me until my early 20's, I didn't want to stop seeing him.
Everytime he came into the examination room he would always whap me on the head with my file. To this day, thinking about that makes me smile.
I consider myself lucky that Dr. Danforth was my doctor.
He will be greatly missed.

Dear Danforth Family:
We began to see Dr. Danforth (upon recommendation from a friend) in 1972. His office was a long way from 80th and Broadway where we were living at the time but we soon found the drive was well worth it. I would call the office identify myself and Terri would ask me which child, Lynn or Erin, needed to be seen. We were never refused an appointment. I remember being in his office at 6 PM waiting for one of the girls to be seen. Our family was saddened to hear of his passing but find comfort in knowing he treating all his patients with the same loving care with which he treated out girls. They both did not want to move to other doctors when they reached 18. Being the kind of person he was, he did see them for some years later. I work with someone younger than my girls and she felt the same affection for as we did. Thank you and your family for sharing him with thousands of Mesa families.
May God wrap your family in His loving arms in the days ahead.

My mother called the doctor's office to my make my younger brother an appointment and heard the message that Dr. Danforth has passed. She called and told me and we were just both in shock! I guess I just never wanted to think anything negative happening to him. A truely fun and compasionant doctor is so hard to find. He spent his time with every patient showing how much he cared. He would even ask about other things going on in my life that were not even medically related. I am now almost 19 and I went to Dr. Danforth from when I was 7-18 years of age. I did not even want to stop going to him at the age of 18, but my mother told me I was getting a little too old to still be seeing a Pediatrican. I just knew there was no way I would find another doctor as awesome as him. He has been such a great role model for me that I now would like to be a Pediatrican as well. I just wish someday that I can be an awesome doctor just like him. He took care of myself as well as my siblings. He was loved by soo many and will be missed by soo many people...

To the Danforths
We just want to say thank you so much for sharing Dr. Danforth with our family.
I called the office for Dr. Dan due to one child who is 21 who was in a car accident and my 14 year old
who broke a leg this weekend. I was in shock. I just am so use to relying on Dr. Dan to help my family when needed.
Reflecting on the many years of visits and hospitalizations between my four children, we all know what a wonderful
caring person he was.
I remember when a scheduled surgery turned into an emergency surgery with a surgeon and I
was frantic. Calling the office from the hospital to look for reassurance he dropped everything and came down right into
the surgery room to check on my daughter. He then came out and sat with my husband and I to help calm me down. What doctor does this?
With the many times I was there and for a while it was weekly, Not only I but my children did witness the many generous gestures for those who could not pay for a visit.
He never turned anyone away. With this, my children had written stories on the person they admired most and why. This person is Dr Danforth.
He has inspired one of my daughters to become a nurse in pediatrics and the other a pediatrician, and not deny anyone. He has made a positive
impact on all my kids.
We know the Lord has blessed this man to help and heal. He is now with the Lord whistling away.
Our prayers are with each and every one of you.
God Bless

Dr. Danforth, wife and family,
We loved Dr. Danforth. When I was about to deliver my first child, I needed to pick a doctor who would be there to attend him, and having moved here from Los Angeles, I didn't know who I would choose. Not having much information about the quality of doctors, I read the names on our list, and I liked his name. I thought he had a good strong name. What a blessing he has turned out to be for our children. When my son had a seizure later on, he came to the hospital that night to check on him and make sure he was being well cared for, even my family was amazed. He always diagnosed my children accurately. It is even hard at this time to consider a new doctor. I hope he knows what he meant to our family, ( I always told him) and I want his family to know as well. To say that he cared about our children seems trivial, he seemed to love all children. He was just incredible. We love him, and we'll miss him dearly.

Dear Danforth Family,
We were so sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Danforth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. He was an incredible doctor and known by my kids as the "silly doctor." It was very clear that he truly loved the children he cared for. I am so grateful for all the knowledge he passed on to this young mom. Our family will miss him greatly.

Dear Danforths,
As I read through all of the entries of this guestbook, I realized that so many others felt the same way about this wonderful man, as my family did! We always thought that we were his favorite patients......For three generations Dr Danforth cared and loved our family, like so many others he went out of his way to make sure tht we were all taken care of! Many times I even called him about others that I had come in contact with with sick children and no means of paying for a doctor. He always was willing to help! His concern was always for the child, not the money! As a mother I always left feeling more confident, he would always tell me how lucky I was to have such beautiful children, and then tell the children how lucky they were to have such wonderful parents. Each of us recieved a kiss on the forhead and hug as we left! In all the years of visiting his office, we never saw him look tired! Every day he seemed to greet as the greatest day of his life! He was such an optimist. Several years ago, when in th hospital after having my 6th child, Dr Danforth came in to check on me and the new baby! He was whistling and laughing and teased me about what a beautiful boy she was! After leaving us with hugs, and a kiss, my nurse came in and asked " What is the name of that Doctor?" She had been a nurse for many years and was new to this hospital, she said that in all the years of working she had never been around a doctor that was so fun, and really seemed to love what he was doing! She said, "Here is my phone-number, would you please give it to him when you take your baby in, I would love to work in his office!" As my family and I went to Dr Danforths viewing, I was so impressed with his family. What faith and kindness they demonstrated! Thank-you so much for sharing your husband and father with so many of us. He will always be remembered by our family as someone that we hope to me more like. He was truly one of the most influential people in our lives, and we will always be grateful for the many hours of service he gave to keeping us all up and going! Love, Jay&Jennifer Anderson and children(Bradley, Shaela, Shawnne, Matt, Mansi and Brianna)

Thank you Dr. Danforth for hitting me on the head with a folder and shoving a popsicle stick down my throat. Those things made me favor you over every doctor I have seen. Also, you knew the exact answer to every one of my questions. Im gonna miss walking up to the old wooden door with a little gold plaque that read"Dr. John T. Danforth"

Dr. Danforth was my pediatrician from the time I was born until I left for college. I spent an awful lot of time with him because I had severe childhood asthma. He made many trips to Mesa Lutheran to treat me and I spent many, many hours in his office. I remember once sitting in the waiting room with a little girl whose older brother had stuck a Sweet Tart up her nostril and it had lodged there. Considering her plight, the asthma didn't seem that bad...I will always remember Dr. Danforth's whistle: I could anticipate the door of the exam room swinging open as his happy whistling grew louder. In he'd stride, my very thick patient file in hand, and he'd rap me over the head with the file and ask, "How are you?" I'd glare at him and reply, "Fine until you did that. Now I have a headache." Once, when I was quite young, I decided I would get back at him for "tapping" me with my fat file. So, I yelled into his stethoscope while he was wearing it. In spite of this, Dr. Danforth provided excellent medical care for me for many years afterwards and I will always remember his smile and laugh. One of the most difficult first steps of becoming an "adult" was leaving Dr. Danforth behind and finding a new doctor. He was unforgettable and I've never found a doctor who I've liked as well or trusted as much. He will be missed all the more now.
Kind Regards to the Danforth Family, thank you for sharing him with all of us all these years.
Best,
Lisa Eager

Dr. Danforth will be missed greatly. While trying to call his office today for my son's prescription, I was saddened to hear of his passing. As much as kids dread going to the doctor's office, this was not the case witrh Dr. Danforth. My son David especially loved him. He didn't even mind going in for shots knowing Dr. Danforth would tickle and hug him and make him laugh. I loved seeing him walk in the room, he would always come and kiss me on the head. He made us feel like family every time we were in in his office. He was referred to us by my sister and referred to her by someone else who had him as their doctor for 30 years. We are grateful for the times we were able to spend with him. He was a wonderful man and is now with our Lord in heaven. We will keep Dr. Danforth and his family in our prayers.
God Bless,

Dr Danforth has an ongoing impact on our family’s life. The way he advised us and treated us, just the way he was, will always be remembered and treasured.
Every time our son was in for a checkup he would check my wife’s throat and say she was pregnant, then laugh so loudly. I will always remember his laugh.
He repeatedly advised us on using a routine:
Brush Teeth, say prayers, go to bed.
We still follow it today.
We are truly blessed to have known him.
God Bless you John.

We were so sad to hear that Dr. Danforth had passed away.
He means so much to our family. He was my pediatrician and he was my children's pediatrician.
I will miss him bursting into the room, full of energy and jokes. I will miss his hugs and his infinite knowledge! There wasn't anything that he didn't know.
I remember when my daughter was ill, he called me everyday at 1:30pm to check on her and give me more instructions. Who does that? He was one of a kind and we were so blessed to know him.
He will be greatly missed.
Thank you so much to his family. Thank you for sharing him with us. I am so sorry for your loss.
He was an amazing man and we will all miss him so much.

Dear Danforth Family. I was so saddened to read about Dr. Danforth's passing. He was my 3 sons' doctor from 1971 through 1986. They all just loved him and were never afraid to go to him. He was so special because he also cared about "Mom". When my oldest son was in an auto accident at the age of 19, Dr. Danforth examined him after hours and didn't even charge me for it! We have lost a great person but Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. God Bless you all.

Dr. Danforth was a wonderful man and a great physician. He was my pediatrician when I was youngster in the 1970's. As a child I suffered from severe asthma and was hospitalized numerous times for acute attacks. I can remember an occasion when my mother took me to the emergency room at Mesa Lutheran Hospital for a severe attack; my lips and fingernails were blue because I could not get enough oxygen. Dr. Danforth came from his office and met us in the E.R. and took over my treatment. I firmly believe I am here today because of Dr. Danforth and his good sense. Certainly many others have similar stories and can credit Dr. Danforth for their well being. I think back fondly of when he would enter the examination room in his office and greet my mom and me in his boisterous manner and more than firmly “pat” (smack) me on the back and ask how I was doing. He was a very good natured man and always made me feel better with his kindness. His passing leaves an emptiness in our world; however, Heaven is somewhat a brighter place with his presence. Rest in peace Dr. Danforth.

While trying to schedule an appointment in April for my daughter's two month check-up I was informed that Dr. Danforth was ill and wouldn't be able to see her that day, but to call the next day. I would call his office every morning to see if he was going to come in on that particular day until one day they told me he was too sick and would be closing down. We were so sad. Dr. Danforth was my pediatrician when I was a child so when I had my children there was no doubt in my mind that Dr. Danforth would also be their pediatrician. Not only did Dr. Danforth treat the children he saw he also would treat the rest of the family, and for no additional cost. I remember when I would take my son in when he was sick, Dr. Danforth would always ask, "and how is mom doing?" If I would tell him I had a sore throat he would take a look and if needed would write me a prescription. That was just the type of doctor he was. He truly cared about each and everyone of his patients. He will greatly be missed. Thanks to his family for sharing him with us for all these years. There will never be another doctor that can take his place. We love you Dr. Danforth, may God bless you and your family.

John was such a fine man, husband, father, grandfather, and doctor--he will be missed by so many. We're sure he would be honored by all these well-deserved tributes, and hopefully they and your deep faith will give you some solace, also. Our sincere condolences, David and Nancy Wallace

How do you begin...Dr. Danforth was such a special man. I first started seeing him at the age of 6, that would be about 27 years ago. I will never forget the time, I was 7 years old and me and my three sisters had to get a Hepatitis shot. There we were, in the back part of his office, were they used to have a couch and chairs for the non sick kids to go. He comes in and closes the door behind him with 4 shots in hand, turns around and says Ha! Ha! With hands held out so you could see all four shots. I exploded with a scream. He gave my other three sisters there shots first then procedded to chase me around the coffee table that was in the room. Everyone didn't quite know what to do. My mom finally got a hold of me and even though I was screaming and kicking he still told me, now that wasn't that bad. I was also one of those patients who he saw passed the age of 18. I have two boys of my own now. They both saw Dr. Danforth. I will also never forget being in the hospital with my second son and hearing him whistle as he came through the hallway to visit Jonathan and I. My whole family will greatly miss Dr. D. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He can never be replaced as a doctor to my kids. We love you Dr. Danforth

Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Dr Danforth had a major impact on my life and my 2 boyz. Dr Danforth was my pediatrician and was the boyz until his passing. I'm very sorry to here that he is gone and wish that I had seen him before his passing he was a great doctor and friend. We were close to Dr Danforth and he was always so caring for not only our family but others. He will be missed so very much.

My mom told me about Dr. Dan's passing yesterday. Looking at his photo online brought back a wave of memories including Dr. Dan, larger than life, bursting through the examination room door thunking me on the head with my file, asking me "what's up Lynn baby." I saw him until I was 23. Thank you to his family for sharing him with all of us.

We can only add our voices to the many others who also knew Dr. Danforth as much more than their doctor. Our family was blessed with his presence in our lives as he cared for our two daughters, (one now 4 years, and the other 10 months old). They are healthy and happy, thanks to the good start he gave them. Our girls are half American (their Dad) and half Australian (their Mum), and although he lived and practiced in America, Dr. Danforth always reminded us of the best Australia had to offer in medical care. He gave not only the medicines and treatments that come from science, but also the poetry and emotion of being human, which of the two is much more lasting and profound. We thanked him often while he was with us, and we thank you, his family, for sharing him with us. His spirit, filled with love and good humor, will burn brightly in our memories.

We were so saddened when upon trying to take grandchild number six to Dr. Danforth, we found out about his illness. Two days later his practice was closed down. What an empty feeling my daughter and I felt when we realized we had lost not just a great doctor but the comfort level we felt knowing he was there when one of my own four chldren or six grandchildren needed him. My kids were NEVER afraid to see him and felt better just by seeing his face and getting hit on the head with his folder. Even after my first son turned 18, he asked if he could continue to see him if need be. We are all truly going to miss Dr. Danforth greatly. He was by far a one-of-a kind doctor, one we have never seen the likes of in all our other medical experiences. I feel extremely blessed to have known such a beautiful person. His love of children and people is definitely reflected in the amount of sad hearts and teary eyes he left behind. Thank you Dr. Danforth, we love you and will miss you and your big smile.

I do not know where to begin… All I can really say is that Doctor D. played a huge part in my life as I raised my two children. I can not imagine what your loss must feel like, because my family’s hearts are so weak at this time. I live in Nevada and wish I would have known of his passing. Last February my daughter and I visited with Doctor D. in his office as he examined our new, one week old baby boy named Jude. Jude is my daughters fourth child that Dr. D. has helped undress, on probably on of the same table that Bristol once laid on when she was two years old. He laughed and said to me, “Now, how many grandchildren do you have?” I said, “I have nine grandchildren, and the best part is that I only have two children.” We laughed and talked for a few minutes, then he sat quiet for a moment, wrapped his arms around his chest as he always did when he got serious, he just look at me smiling, and began telling me how much he had enjoyed the story I sent him last Christmas. I had written a small book and had dedicated this short story to him. He said he just did not know what to say. As you probably know the book was about my daughter and her many childhood illnesses, recoveries and our many blessings. He told me how it had touched his heart and that every Christmas he always remembered the Christmas of 1990 at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital. He got up from his chair, took my 57 year old face in his hands, kissed me and said, “We have both been so blessed all of these years, and you have always been a wonderful mother.” He told me that Bristol was here today because of my strength, and because I would never give up fighting for her. I knew then that something was terribly wrong with him, but we just laughed and joked again, mostly about a picture that has been hanging on his wall for at least 35 years. I told him I wanted that picture when he retired, and we both laughed and hugged each other. I was 26 when I met the doctor; I lived in Globe, Arizona. I traveled to Mesa for every cold, cut, seizure and for two brain surgeries on my now grown daughter. Doctor D. is, and will always be remembered in prayer throughout my entire family. And, every time I hold my grandchildren I think of him. Throughout the years Doctor Danforth shared his compassion, skill, knowledge, laughter and devotion with my family, and many others I am sure. Now, on a happier note, I know that Dr. D. is now walking with that long stride he always had, swinging his arms through the air and I would not be surprised if he did'nt still have a chart in his hand. As you all know he never left a patients room quiet, and I am sure he is still talking to people as he walks away from them traveling at high speed down a hall or through the clouds. I bet his golf game is at its peak, and I know he is still hugging mamas and daddies and blowing bubbles on little children’s bellies. My children and I have giggled for years about how Dr. D. always treated them like they were still two and four years old, and not like they are now, 32 and 35 year old parents. I am sure that there are many stories about our doctor all over Arizona and many other states. We will continue to love and think of him often, because he is still very important to our family. The Burgett, Leos and Gillis families will keep your family in prayer, and I would like to thank you for sharing your husband and father with my family all of these years. Best Regards, Carolyn Gillis

I can't express enough, the sorrow that we have and the emptiness that we feel knowing that we are never going to be able to see our loving Dr. Danforth again. He always made each of us feel special and loved. We loved his sense of humor and the way he always made my kids laugh when he entered the room with his booming voice. We loved him so much. He was a one of a kind doctor and will forever be in our hearts.

Our deepest sympathy to you Mrs. Danforth and your Family. As I read all these entries I feel that our story of Dr. Danforth and this family is like so many. He took care of our 6 children and some of our grandchildren, the children loved him so much.When our youngest son had fallen and had a fractured skull, he never charged us a cent for all the care he gave him, he visited him every day at the hospital even though he was in a coma. We could go on and on. But you his family know what kind of a person he was, a fine and loving man and one of the best doctors I have ever known, I`m an RN so I know.
Sincerely,

Words cannot express the deep sorrow that I have for loss of this great man. Dr. Danforth was my pediatrician as a child and I was thrilled to have him as my three children’s doctor. He was always there when we needed him and it was always comforting to know that his help was just a phone call away. He truly was a 'one of a kind' doctor and will be irreplaceable. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us all. He made such a difference in so many lives. The memories of him and my family will always stay close to my heart. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family.
You'll be greatly missed by us Dr. D! The Funkhousers
