To all the Panton families, I would like to extend my
sincere sympathies upon your recent loss. He always had that smile, gentleness and kindness about himself. I have fond memories of how he loved his leading a Greek dance with family and friends.
May God comfort you at this time, and may his memory be eternal.

Dr. Panton was a true gentleman, and a great example for physicians and fathers everywhere. He was one of the "Four Fathers" of the UIC Eye & Ear Infirmary whose children followed into ophthalmology. My father and I, as well as countless patients and fellow doctors, will miss him! - Ben Ticho

To all the Panton family: Joey and I were so sad to hear about your dad's passing. He was so wonderful to both of us, kind, caring what a doctor should be. You have everything in the world to be proud of when it comes to him. I used to tease him and your sister "if he wasn't married...." and he would smile....Seriously the community has lost a titan and the medical community has lost a gem of a doctor. He has left behind a wonderful legacy in all of you. Our sincerest condolences at this sad time.

Our love and sympathy to the family of Dr. Panton. We are in Chicago for the Christmas season and read his obituary in the Tribune. Such a wonderful, helpful and kind man, truly respected and appreciated by myself and my family. His name and quality care still comes up in our family conversations.
Blessings to you all,

Dr. Bob, my name is Neena Shulman, my mother was Edyth Lieberman who was your dad's patient and then became yours. You know the story that my mom knew your dad when he first came to the US and worked for Dr. John Bellows. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a friend to all and will be missed by all.

Dear Panton family,
I am so sad to hear of Dr. John's passing. I will so remember his uplifting spirit and that laugh of his. Our time at West Suburban Hospital as well as our Hellenic functions will always be remembered and cherished.
