Dr. John Francis “Jack” Brunner: Pioneering Toledo endocrinologist was a caring mentor
Dr. John Francis “Jack” Brunner, a pioneering Toledo endocrinologist and clinical professor, died July 8 in his Toledo home. He was 97. Dr. Brunner died after a brief illness, his son Rick Brunner said. He had several health conditions common for his age, Mr. Brunner said. As one of the first board-certified endocrinologists in Toledo, Dr. Brunner “took care of a lot of people with rare and complex health problems,” said his other son Dr. Jack Brunner, who followed in his father’s steps to become an endocrinologist. Dr. S. Amjad Hussain, a retired Toledo surgeon, said the elder Dr. Brunner was also “a very kind and caring physician and teacher,” noting that he was a former intern of Dr. Brunner at what is now Mercy Health St. Charles Hospital.
