So sorry to hear of Dr Bonner’s passing. He was a great mentor during my PM&R residency.
I am sorry I did not know that he had passed and I missed his mass at St Thomas of Villanova.
I had the privilege of working with him as well as his father who was my team physician at Archbishop Carroll.
Condolences to Mrs Bonner, his children and the rest of the family.

I had the honour of working with him in several Latin American medical courses with the JBJS Society. We spent a wonderful time together in different countries. And also I have unforgettable moments when I visited Philadelphia where he was an extraordinary host. God bless his soul and his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Frank through my good friend John Woznisky. We had lunch at Frank's home in Avalon, NJ. A real down to earth man who made one feel right at home! I will have a Mass said for Frank with my Franciscan Community in Loretto, PA. Rest in Peace Frank!

I went to the Moint with Dr. Bonner. He was older and sometimes he drove me home. Congratulation's on a life well lived and it shows that even when you go to a small college, you can be a great success
