Dr. Mormol was my and my siblings pediatrician our entire childhood. He helped my father out any and every time we were sick. Being a single father with 2 kids and especially 1 with several asthma my father stayed at the hospital. Dr Mormol would meet my father at children's hospital to make sure my brother was in good hands. He even told my father home remedies that he can do to help. He was my daughter pediatrician until he retired. I remember growing up and visiting him and to see the joy on his face whenever he speak about his love of weight lifting. He will forever be missed... Sincerely The Goins family

Dr. Mormol was our two sons' pediatrician for the eight years we lived in Columbus-1976-1984. He was incredibly kind, and I can still remrmber him always saying "Bring me something I can cure!". His calm demeanor was invaluable to me as a young mom.

John was our first and only pediatrician and I cannot let his passing go without saying how much we appreciated his skills in handling both children and parents. He was a wonderful man. We lived down the street from you - and even our dogs were friends, Princess Mormol and Oreo Giller, roaming the streets together.

He was our sons' pediatrician for their entire childhoods, and we all respected and admired him immensely. A credit to his vocation, he was a true gentleman with a caring bedside manner. We couldn't have asked for a better doctor. He was always there with proper care and treatment whenever we needed him. He was simply the best!

Dr. Mormol was my sons' pediatrician, but he was not just a pediatrician but a doctor who understood children and mothers. He knew how to give a child a shot without making them cry, and how to reassure a mommy that she was just being a mom. I am sad because the world has lost a very special person. My sympathy to the family.
