Dr. Sunshine found a problem with my 5 year old daughters kidney in 1978.  If not for him, she would have lost her whole kidney instead of just half. He found the problem that others failed to see. He was always so pleasant and easy to talk to. I wish he were still here today and practicing- I have a granddaughter with the same issue as my daughter.  He was the best!!!  

Certainly a huge part of my life. Dr Sunshine saved my life 58 years ago. He was such a gentle soul and I actually looked forward to my yearly doctor visits. He made me feel that he always had that chocolate tootsie lollipop just for me when I came. I still think of him often and will never forget the kindness he gave to my mom I and the way he treated us when we went to his office. With love and deepest sympathy. 

I'm still amazed at how frequently patients speak fond remembrances of Dr. Sunshine - never a week goes by when he isn't recalled by the countless people he helped.  I feel so blessed to have joined Urology Consultants 25 years ago and had the chance to practice with Herb for 15 years before his retirement.  His genuine love for the practice and his patients was always so evident and continues to serve as a enduring inspiration to me and many other young physicians.

Herb hired me out of residency nearly 30 years ago and was a friend and mentor. He helped hundreds of young physicians get through their first nervous moments of a complicated surgery with his kindness and intellect. He was always willing to help a colleague and always gracious to a patient having a bad day. Conferences were richer when Herb would speak and share his experiences because he practical as well as wise.
  We will all miss him.

Dr.Herbert Sunshine left all of us with the memory of a first class human being whose life reflected his love and care for others.  May God bless him and his family always.  Eleanor Dobbs Belleville IL

Herbs smile in the picture in the PD was the smile I always enjoyed in life and will always be how we continue to remember in recalling him.  It's been years since I last saw Herb, but he remains a beacon. I still recall chance meeting him at Kohns.   Evonne and I are deeply saddened by Herb's death.  He was a terrific guy as husband, father, grandfather, son-in-law, urological physician and  client, but most of all a fine and outstanding friend .  He will be missed, but always in our memory.  His entire family has our deepest regrets.

DOCTOR HERBERT SUNSHINE FAMILY--MY DEEPEST REGRETS & THIS NOTE COULD BE ECHOED MANY, MANY TIMES BY THE PATIENTS & PHYSICIANS  THAT DR. SUNSHINE SERVED IN THE MONTGOMERY/MACOUPIN COUNTY  IL. AREA. HE WAS APLEASURE & AN INSPIRATION TO KNOW AND SUCH A FINE PHYSIAN.
