Carl W. Hill, HS; May '20 Jan. 21, 1925 - May 6, 2020 Dr. Carl W. Hill of Rancho Palos Verdes passed away peacefully at home on May 6, 2020 after a lengthy illness. He was 95 years old. Carl was born on January 21, 1925 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of Karl and Sadie Hill. When he was 5 years old, the family moved to Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, where he spent his formative years. After high school, Carl attended college and medical school at the University of Toronto. He then did his surgical residency at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. While in St. Louis, he met his first wife Lavenia, with whom he would have 3 children. In 1955, Carl became a medical officer in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro. Upon completion of his service, he decided to work and raise his family in San Pedro, and he was a resident there and in RPV for 65 years. Dr. Hill was a surgeon in private practice for over 40 years, performing operations from the time San Pedro Hospital was a small brick building through its transition to the facility that we see today. During that time, he was always well liked and respected by his colleagues and patients. He was kind and generous to everyone, especially to his family, who all loved him greatly. His spirit will live on inside all of those that knew and loved him. Carl was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Arlene, and his first wife Lavenia. He is survived by his wife Loretta, his children William Rock Hill, Wendy Hill Williams (Scott), and Forest Hill (Laurie), and by his grandchildren Brittany Hill, Caitlin Williams (Leiel Hazut), Tess Hill and Garrett Williams.

John O. Kildow, MD '48; Jan. '20 Dr. John Kildow was born January 23, 1925 in Deer Lodge, Montana to George and Alice Kildow. John passed away on January 18, 2020 in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. He attended Post Falls High School, Washington State College, Whitman College, and Washington University Medical School in St. Louis, Missouri. He practiced surgery in Missoula, Montana from 1955 to 1972 and in El Centro, California from 1972 until 1975. He served as a physician at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland, Washington from 1982 until retirement in 2010. Military service included the Navy during WWII, the Air Force during the Korean War, and again from 1975 until 1979. He was baptized at age 13 as a member of the Presbyterian Church in Post Falls, Idaho. The pressures and demands of professional life gave little time for family bonding. In later years, viewing the character and accomplishments of his children and their families made him realize how fortunate he was despite the lack of time he had to share with them. His relationship with God was very personal. Because of forgiveness, he looked for eternal life through the sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He understands the sorrow of those who mourn his passing, for they are the ones who suffer most. John is survived by his wife, Martha; children, Linda Johnson, Mark Kildow, Sylvia Kildow, Aleta Kantor, and Jennifer Sinnema, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

In 1968 he became the head physician for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team, spanning a 30 year commitment to to some of the best athletes in the game. General managers Bing Devine, Whitey Herzog, and Dal Maxville were a few he considered good friends. Players like Joe Torre, Bob Gibson, Bob Forsch, Stan Musial, and John Tudor all thrived under his expert care. He also had a long time professional and friend relationship with head Trainer Gene Gieselman and Field House Manager Buddy Bates. He is always seen in the front row behind home plate in old Busch Stadium footage ready to run out on the field if needed, only missing a handful of games due to medical emergencies over the decades of his service.

Later years had him working at various clinics with indigent people as well as being the staff medical director at the St. Louis Federal Court Building where he had a strong positive relationship with Judge David Noce. He retired in January 2020. He will be remembered as a talented, wise, compassionate and humble man.

Helen B. Paust, NU '48; May '20 Helen Louise was born September 14, 1925 in Harvard, Illinois to parents Andrew Peter and Helen Holzworth Bennett. The family lived throughout Illinois with her father’s work with Standard Oil until settling in Webster Groves, MO. Graduating from Webster High School in 1943, influenced by a US Cadet Nurse Corps poster out that year, she enrolled in pre-nursing courses at Washington University in St. Louis and pledged Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. In September 1945, she entered WU School of Nursing, earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1948, and went to work in public health, then as an Industrial Nurse at McDonnell Aircraft. In August 1948, she married Eugene Paust. They moved to Springfield MO where she continued her nursing career in the Newborn Nursery at St Joseph’s Hospital and where their first daughter was born. When her husband was recalled to active duty as a naval aviator, they moved to California where she once again went into nursing and, upon his return to civilian life, they spent several years in Omaha, NE where their second daughter and son were born. Omaha also was the place of one of her amazing sewing accomplishments, entering a contest with 61,965 other entrants sponsored by The Grange, a fraternal agricultural organization, hoping to win a new Singer sewing machine and ending up with the top prize of an all-expense-paid trip to Europe. In typical Scottish heritage fashion, she later noted that the total cost of her winning dress was $15, including linen fabric, thread, zipper, lace and a McCall’s pattern, time spent was about three months. In August 1960, the family moved to Austin and Helen told her new neighbors she was very happy to leave the family snow shovel behind forever. She settled into the Allandale neighborhood and dedicated herself to her family, her home, her sewing for herself and her children, her love of scouting for and refinishing antiques, she even taught herself how to re- cane chairs. In the mid-sixties, a new bi-weekly column appeared in the Austin paper and it became one of Helen’s favorites. The author, Erma Bombeck, who eventually wrote the best- seller “The Grass is Always Greener over the Septic Tank” as well as others, provided the humor that fed Helen’s soul. (Erma passed away in 1996, pretty sure Helen already has looked up Erma to thank her and exchange one-liners in Heaven.) In the early 1970’s, after an 18-year absence, she returned to hospital nursing at St. David’s in the ICU. Always looking to expand her knowledge and experience, she then spent 25 years as a Psychiatric Nurse at Seton Shoal Creek where commendations for her competence, compassion and “cheerful flexibility” were given. She was particularly honored when an article she wrote, “Sound Off! Nursing is still a proud profession” was published in RN Magazine in July 1985, and she truly believed what she wrote. When Helen retired from nursing, she didn’t stop her service to others, being idle was not in her makeup, she took her sewing skills to the University Medical Center Brackenridge Volunteers organization where the group made hats, scarves, comfort pillows and other important garments for the UMCB/Komen Austin Breast Cancer Patient Project. After spending 14 years with UMCB, she received a Spirit of Service Award in 2010 from RSVP of Travis County, a local arm of the federal Senior Corps program and, as an added bonus, received a congratulatory letter of gratitude from the last real U.S. President, Barack Obama. It was said of her “Although she would never seek any recognition, you will not find a candidate more worthy of the Spirit of Service Award.” One treasured accomplishment of the group spear-headed by Helen was sewing and selling “baked potato bags” to raise funds to establish a Tranquility Garden at UMCB in memory of a beloved fellow volunteer, Howard Slutes. Howard was Helen’s neighbor and recently widowed when she coaxed him to come to UMCB, he became a favorite at Brack. The fundraising was a big success and ground was broken for the Garden in October 2011. When Dell Seton acquired UMCB, the sewing group moved to new quarters and added the making of remembrance quilts for the families of organ donors. Helen continued to support this incredible group of volunteers and participated by sewing the patchwork pieces at home when she could no longer join them in the Sewing Room. Helen also volunteered at the Old Bakery on Congress Avenue, a city/state co-sponsored Senior Programs that serves as Information Center and retail outlet for people 50 and older to show their crafts and talents, supplement their income, perpetuate heritage skills. She always had one or more of her beautiful quilts on display. And as a faithful and dedicated member of Covenant Presbyterian Church since its inception in 1960, she recruited speakers for Vision educational luncheons, she knitted many prayer shawls for the church as well as helmet liners for the soldiers and hats for the homeless. Helen lived in her home for nearly 60 years. She loved her neighbors, did for them what she could and, in turn, they did much for her, their friendship was cherished. She was a recipient of Meals on Wheels and was delighted to be on the occasional route of the First Lady of Texas, Cecilia Abbott, who graciously volunteered with the program. They shared a love of dogs, even having their picture taken with Helen’s little white poodle, Tia, and it showed up in a San Antonio newspaper. She had multiple copies of that picture and proudly shared with friends and family. We think it was mostly because of Tia whom she adored, but she was very impressed with Mrs. Abbott and enjoyed her visits immensely. In 2019, Helen moved into The Arbour at Westminster where she made herself at home, including having her sewing machine with her. She kept her mind and hands active, sewed walker caddy bags, knitted prayer shawls and caps for newborns, lots of them, played bridge and bingo with other residents, attended lectures, watched her favorite shows, including The Doctors, Dr. Phil and The View, and warmly welcomed family and friends whenever they came to visit, and they did. Her mind was sharp and she was looking forward to voting for a change in the White House in November. Country before party she believed. Helen is survived by her loving children, Lucia Teutsch and husband Gil of Santa Fe, Andrea Guidry and her husband Rob, a devoted and much appreciated son-in-law, of Austin, son Bob Paust, his daughters, her beloved grandchildren, Abby and Sydney of Winston-Salem, her sister- in-law Catherine Moore of St. Louis, her nieces, Kathy Scheiner of Chicago and Ann Lause of St. Louis and, of course, her precious Tia. Her family would like to recognize the incredible staff at The Arbour who made her transition from independent home to apartment more bearable, who were her constant companions, steadfast champions, compassionate caretakers during her time at Westminster. We will be eternally grateful for each and every one of you. We also want to thank Dr. Mike Shapiro and his staff for the many years of excellent care. A private family interment is planned, and a memorial gathering to honor Helen’s memory will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the Austin Humane Society | 124 W. Anderson Lane, Austin, Texas 78752 or Meals on Wheels Central Texas /3227 East Fifth Street, Austin, Texas 78702. Each life touches this world in a way no others can, leaving not only wonderful memories, but lasting imprints in our hearts.

Maurice L. Sievers, MD '49; Jan. '20 On January 12, 2020 Maurice L. Sievers M.D. reunited with his cherished wife, Alberta ("Bud- Budgie' ) Sievers, who preceded 'Maury' on this eternal journey on April 24, 1993. Maurice was born in a rural house in Farmer City, Illinois on November 2, 1922 to Clara Riggs Sievers and Lloyd E. Sievers. He was the third of four children. He grew up in the 'Land of Lincoln" and developed an admiration for 'Abe.' Over the years he read every book he could find on Lincoln and became an expert of sorts on the topic. He attended Heyworth Community High School and was the editor for articles submitted for publication in their newspaper, The Heyworth Star. Graduating 'cum laude," he went on to attend Illinois State Normal University with the aspiration of becoming a Journalist. With the advent of World War II, he left the university and worked in a munitions factory until he enlisted in the Army in January 1943. He was placed in ASTP ( Army Specialized Training Program) launched in 1943. It was intended to provide continuous and accelerated training in order to provide accelerated high-grade technicians and specialist needed by the Army. He was assigned to the University of Iowa for regular college courses in the Sciences with college credits intending to direct him into Engineering. The Dean of the University determined that he had qualified for Medical School. Prior to sending him to Vermillion, South Dakota to the University of South Dakota School of Medicine where he would graduate with Honors with a B.S.in Medicine in 1947,he was sent to Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado for training on the ward. It was at Fitzsimons that he fell in love with and married an Army Nurse, 2nd Lieutenant Alberta ('Bud') Rosbrough Sievers, on August 2, 1945, a month before the War ended on September 2,1945. From 1947 to 1949 he was sent to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri where he received his M.D. His Internship took place at the Public Health Service Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia and then his Residency in Internal Medicine took place at the Public Health Service Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts completed in 1954. Maurice and his family returned to St. Louis where he was assigned by the National Institute of Health to Washington University in Clinical Research in Cancer of the Digestive System with the National Cancer Institute. It was during this time that he was informed of a six-week Field Study being done with the Navajo Indians in Arizona in 1954. He participated in this study and then elected to return to a continuation of this study for six weeks in 1957. This time he brought his wife, Bud, and three daughters with him. They set up a tent under a Palo Verde tree on the Reservation while Maurice, along with one other Physician, examined and interviewed the Navajo Indian Uranium miners. It was this experience that determined his future. He felt privileged to work among the Native Americans and getting to know them as people as well as their customs, values, crafts, contributions and health concerns. Consequently, in 1958 the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona where he remained until his passing. His initial involvement with the Indian Health Service ( IHS ) was as a Clinician at the original Phoenix Indian Hospital which consisted of 13 buildings on two campuses two miles apart on the same grounds as the then, Phoenix Indian School on Central Avenue. Perhaps the best way to relate his tremendous influence on the health care needs of the Native Americans, especially in the Southwest, is by quoting from a letter that was written by Dr. Emery Johnson, Director of the Indian Health Services, where he reviewed Dr. Sievers' many accomplishments in his career and read at the time of Dr. Sievers retirement from the Public Health service in 1985 after 39 ½ years. "You are the last of that fine group of physicians in the 1950's who saw the desolation of Indian medical care, who understood the critical need for good health for Indian people if they were to take their rightful place in American Society and who were determined to develop health services to assist in bringing the health status of the Indian people up to the level of the rest of the population. Your success of those to whom you were a teacher, an example and an inspiration can be seen throughout Indian country. He went on to describe his skills as a clinician, researcher, teacher and visionary. To quote further, "Who would have believed it possible to take the old Phoenix Indian Hospital and transform it into a fine medical center? Not very many had that vision---but you did. There really was a Phoenix Indian Medical Center in everything but the building. Dr. Johnson closed his letter regarding Dr. Sievers by saying" You will always be remembered as the 'father' of the Indian Health Service research program." When the time came in 1971 for the groundbreaking for the Phoenix Indian Medical Center and the opportunities came to create a clinical research program, you had already laid the foundation." Dr. Sievers was the first Research Director of the Indian Health Services, having previously been the Chief of Medicine of the Phoenix Indian Medical Center. Maurice's love of Journalism was realized as he authored or co-authored over 120 professional articles, contributions, research studies, and chapters in Medical Journals on Native American health issues Many of them involving his extensive research on major problems evolving related to obesity, Diabetes Mellites and its complications of neuropathy, end stage renal disease requiring dialysis and kidney transplants, amputations, and coronary artery disease. He contributed major research regarding Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Tuberculosis, alcoholism and traumatic injuries. In March of 1984 the American College of Chest Physicians presented Maurice with a citation in Recognition of His Outstanding Contributions to The Study of Coccidioidomycosis. In 1983, then Surgeon General, C. Everett Koop, presented Maurice, in Washington D.C., with the Medal of Commendation for his dedicated service to Native American Health. On May 22, 1986 he was awarded the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Distinguished Service Medal. Although Maurice retired from the Public Health Service and Indian Health Service in 1985 as a commissioned officer equivalent to Navy Captain, he continued to work with research among the Native Americans both with the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) and The Strong Heart Study with emphasis on diabetes. He believed that both studies are making important contributions to the American Indians. The NIH study only among the Pima Indians of the Gila River Indian Reservation who in particular have an unusually high rate of diabetes. The strong Heart Study having three components (1)) Arizona (2) the Dakotas (3) Oklahoma Their results are presented at National Medical meetings, the American Diabetic Association and numerous Medical Journals. He continued his contributions with the Strong Heart Study's Mortality statistics with Dr. Peter Bennet and Dr. Rob Nelson well into his 90th decade. There were other sides to this amazing man. "Maury" grew up in the Radio Era. He was fascinated by antique radios and crystal sets and amassed a large collection starting in the 1960's. His primary focus was on Vintage American Crystal radio sets, Crystal Detectors and Crystals. After years of extensive research and study, he authored two books, Crystal Clear Volume I in 1991 and Crystal Clear Volume II in 1995. They have received wide acclaim and recognition in the radio collectors' community; not only for the extensive research but, his attentiveness to detail, as an invaluable source of reference for serious collectors. Maurice left a public legacy and an endearing private legacy for his family and friends. His three daughters, Karen Truax, Maureen Rosenthal and Tamara Jay M.D., knew his love, devotion wisdom and encouragement throughout their lives and grieve his passing. He took great pride in his grandchildren, Ariel, Olimpia, Ondine, Ian and Megan. Of especial joy were the blessings of having his great grandchildren, Aleksander, Kai, Emma, Carson and Diego. Maurice enjoyed making family movies, often writing scripts. He took his family on frequent camping trips all over the country. With his love of words and language, he enjoyed crossword puzzles, jumbles, playing Scrabble, writing poetry and reading books. He would recall songs from the 1930's and 40's and sing them with a vibrato voice when an opportunity arose that reminded him of a song. He loved to play cards with family and friends, especially Bridge, Phase Ten, Uno and Wild Card. He would not miss a night watching and participating with Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune on television. Most of all, he was a willing participant in any adventure his wife, family or friends would suggest. He went on many Elderhostel's events throughout the country and enjoyed hiking, picnics, botanical gardens and museums (especially the Heard Museum in Phoenix, having festivals and dedicated to presenting and preserving the arts, crafts and culture of the Native Americans of the Southwest.) Maurice was a man dedicated to God and an active member in the fellowship of Shadow Rock Congregational Church. In 1995, following the passing of his wife, "Bud," Maurice was blessed to share his life with Louise Land. He was welcomed into her family sharing many experiences until Louise passed away about three weeks prior to Maurice's passing. They spent their last several Golden Years residing at Beatitudes Campus for Independent Living and developed wonderful relationships with many residents. The family expresses gratitude to the staff for enriching their lives. On February 3, 2020, Maurice L. Sievers M.D. was interred next to his beloved wife, Alberta ( "Bud" ) at the National Memorial Veterans Cemetery of Arizona. A family service took place at that time. Memorial donations, if desired, may be made to the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona or to Habitat for Humanity. Maurice's time with us on earth has come to an end. It is up to all of us who knew him and experienced his love and wisdom to pass it on. Maurice had left a handwritten journal called, A Journal for the Living. His opinions and attitudes written in this journal are significant "thoughts" for many of us in these times. The heading on one page read, My Dreams and Wishes. He wrote: "I dream of a world where peace, brotherly and sisterly love and mutual respect and understanding will replace greed, hatred, conflict and distrust; a world where biases---religious, racial and sexual orientation---are replaced with true appreciation and acceptance of the wonders of our differences; a world where striving for mastery is not of other beings but is of conquering the forces that separate us and deprive us of our fundamental needs; and a world where we understand the need to preserve the only planet we inhabit---but also to strive to reach out deeper in to the universe around us." In response to another page entitled, My Dreams and Wishes for Others he wrote: "I dream and wish for my "children" and all God's Children---serenity and health, above all; rewarding lives, not only for the good things that come their ways, but because of the good things they do for others; and an understanding that their world is a better place because of what they are and what they do, both directly and indirectly (by the lives they influence). I dream and wish for others an understanding that life has "stumbling" aspects, as well as fantastic fortunes, wonderful events and outcomes. We must put it all in perspective; we should realize that everyone has "undeserved" misfortunes and "unearned" good fortune. Don't sweat the "Little Things" and, with analysis, most adverse events are not overwhelming, devastating or destructive unless we let them have that status. Most are wonderful events--- earned or unearned---and should be permitted to restore our beings, bodies, minds and souls. The above are some final "found" words of his to be perused. He spent his life, both public and private, thinking of what he could achieve to benefit other people. Of this to be sure, his was a Life Well Spent and one of dedicated service to medicine, Native Americans, his family, man/woman kind and all with an eye kept on his devotion to God. Published in The Arizona Republic from Mar. 18 to Mar. 22, 2020.

In the fall of 1952 Bill was accepted to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO with a Jackson Johnson Scholarship. In addition to studying, he wrote part of and conducted the junior med school show and worked for the St. Louis Symphony. When a physical therapy scholarship became available, he encouraged Doris to apply and enroll in the Physical Therapy Program which she did, and they continued their relationship. On June 27th 1954 they were married in Twin Falls ID. The newlyweds chose Banff National Park in Canada for their honeymoon and upon the return trip decided Bill should get a job with the US Forest Service. They spent the summer in a lookout tower as firewatchers on Cyclone Peak overlooking Glacial National Park. Bill graduated cum laude from WU Medical School in 1956 and Bill and Doris moved to Seattle where he did his rotating internship at Harborview, King County Hospital and his residency in Pediatrics at Children's Orthopedic Hospital. Bill joined the Air Force in 1959 and was stationed at Fort Warren Air Base in Cheyenne, WY where he served as "base pediatrician" for two years. They returned to Seattle where he practiced at Group Health Cooperative for a year. In the spring of 1962, Bill and Doris returned to Pocatello, where Bill began to practice Pediatrics with Dr. Gene Earl. After Dr. Earl left, he was the only Pediatrician between Pocatello and Ogden, UT for about two years until he was joined by Dr. Roger Boe, followed a year later by Dr. Don Roberts. With Dr.'s David Jones and Robert Rush, the Pediatric half of the Pocatello Woman and Children's Clinic was built. As the number of doctors grew, the two specialties separated and the Children's Clinic became the Pocatello Children's Clinic and is present today. In 1985 Bill became board qualified in allergy, asthma, and immunology and he and Doris opened the Pocatello Allergy and Asthma Clinic which is now operated by Dr. David Parry. He retired from medicine in 1997. Bill and Doris, with other professionals, were instrumental in founding WAMI which is an organization of four states: Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. This collaborative effort assured a certain number of student admissions to medical school from these states. As part of the program, students would take some of their basic science courses at sites such as the University of Washington and the University of Idaho and some of their clinical work at locations such as the Pocatello Children and Adolescent Clinic and other facilities. WAMI was a novel medical education program model because it crossed state lines. No other attempts to develop similar conglomerates elsewhere have been as successful. Bill has a long list of professional, community, and philanthropic activities which include, but are not limited to, IMA, AMA, AAP, AAAAI, Staff and Chief of Staff of Pediatrics at Pocatello hospitals, CASA Board of Directors, and the first Child Abuse Education Director for the state of Idaho. He participated on the Faculty Evaluation Committee for the Family Residency Program. He was a member of the Idaho State Civic Symphony Board and its president for 12 years. He was selected as Rotarian of the year twice. He was Pocatello Rotary Club president in 1995 and attended the International meeting in Nice, France. Bill and Doris were the originator of the 50+ Reunion. They have long supported ISU with scholarships and donations and were major donors for the construction of the Stephens Performing Arts Center. They contributed to the building of the Grizzly Bear habitat at the Pocatello Zoo, and the Idaho Museum of Natural History, the home of the Saber Tooth Tiger exhibit. Bill was a member of the Sagebrush Society, an intellectual group, for over 20 years, and he enjoyed his many years of singing with the Camarata Singers. He was an avid gardener, enjoyed hiking, biking, skiing, and loved the outdoors. Bill and Doris enjoyed traveling and cruising, including the USA, Canada, Europe, Mexico, parts of Central and South America and a Rotary Safari to South Africa. Bill was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Jean (Kenneth) Thrasher. Bill is survived by his wife Doris Ann of 65 years, his sister Kibber (John) Miller, Springfield, IL, his children, Cathy Brydon (Steve), William Lloyd Brydon Jr., and Timothy Carl Brydon, all of Pocatello; two grandsons, Brydon Murray (Jenny) of Pullman, WA, Harley (Heather) Brydon, and triplet great- grandchildren, Kinzlee, Adalynn, and Wyatt, of Macon, GA.

Edward Lewin, MD '55, HS; April '20 Edward Lewin was born in Denver on August 10, 1929 to Morton Lewin and Harriet Reuler Lewin. He graduated from the University of Colorado and then from the Washington University School of Medicine. In 1954, he married Jacqueline Shere, also of Denver. They had two children, Cynthia and John. Ed completed his medical training in Neurology at Johns Hopkins and Boston City Hospital, followed by a stint as an Air Force physician in California and Texas. Jackie and Ed then moved back to Denver where Ed spent his career at the University of Colorado Medical School and the Veterans Administration Medical Center, where he was Chief of Neurology. His career combined clinical care, teaching, and research. He maintained an active research laboratory where he studied animal models of epilepsy in order to better understand the mechanism of the disease. He combined his research interest in epilepsy with clinical care of veterans and others with the disease. Ed loved patient care and prided himself on his ability to connect with a wide range of patients. In 1999, he received the inaugural Epilepsy Foundation of Colorado award for his achievements in both research and clinical care. He received numerous other honors and awards in his field. After retirement, Ed continued to serve as a volunteer physician at the VA. He was proud to be able to give back to his field by endowing a professorship, the Reuler-Lewin Family Professor of Neurology, at the University of Colorado. Outside his profession, Ed was a committed athlete. An excellent skier, he took full advantage of the Colorado discounts for seniors, skiing well into his 80s. He also enjoyed tennis and road biking. In addition to the classic Colorado mountain rides, he was a frequent sight biking around town, including to work most weekdays. Ed earned his pilot’s license and loved flying his four-seat Piper around Colorado and neighboring states. His passion and adventures together with his wife inspired her to write a mystery series set in the world of general aviation, beginning with Murder Flies Left Seat. In addition, Ed was a passionate amateur astronomer, traveling to China to see a solar eclipse. For many years, he was a docent in the astronomy section of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and delighted in engaging with visitors, especially schoolchildren on field trips. He also enjoyed strumming his banjo. Ed was known for his dry sense of humor, his razor-sharp mind, and his astonishing memory. He could recreate football games he had seen decades earlier, and was a Jeopardy fiend. A point of pride was that he could still name the county seats of all 63 counties in Colorado. Whether he ever fully adjusted to the creation of the 64th county, Broomfield, in 2001 is unclear. Ed deeply enjoyed his children and grandchildren and took great pride in their accomplishments. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Jacqueline; their two children, Cynthia Lewin of Arlington, Virginia, and John Lewin of Denver, Colorado, and their spouses, Arthur Fox and Rebecca Lewin; and four grandchildren, Mira, Monica, Robert, and James. His sister Celeste predeceased him.

Charlotte W. Malotky, NU '50; April '20 Charlotte Olive Westberg Malotky, 91, died on April 28th, 2020 at her daughter’s home in Wayzata, Minnesota. She is now at home in the arms of Jesus. All who knew Charlotte and hear the news of her passing will realize that a special light has gone out in this world. Charlotte was first and foremost a caretaker, a nurturer, a supporter. She had no zeal for fame, nor did she strive after recognition. From planting petunias to bandaging toddlers’ scrapes to putting on puppet shows for her Sunday school children, from family dinners, to game days with elderly folks in the nursing home (when she was already in her 80s herself), she spent her hours and energy caring for others. If you leaned, she was there to catch your fall. If you celebrated, she showed with the warmth of her smile that she always believed in you. Charlotte spread joy like she spread frosting, thickly. Charlotte loved music and was an accomplished singer and violinist. She anchored the soprano section of every church choir, sang solos at countless weddings and funerals, and taught her own children the joy of singing while bouncing them on her knees, her lovely descant floating above. Although she took the greatest joy in music that expressed her faith, she was just as enthusiastic for silly camp songs with folks around a campfire under the stars. Charlotte was a precious gift to all, especially her six children, thirteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. She had a special connection to all children, and many will remember her Sunday school lessons most for the warmth of her smile and her genuine care, as they embodied God’s love for each and every one of them. Charlotte was born in Clayton, Missouri, grew up in the Westberg family home in Kirkwood, and trained as a nurse at Washington University in St. Louis. After graduation, she worked as a nurse. Because she was adventurous, this included a stint in Hawaii with her sister, Grace, who was also a nurse. When she returned to St. Louis, Charlotte married Arden Herbert Malotky in 1953, and commenced her new life as a pastor’s wife and partner. They moved first to Rochester, Minnesota, then a couple of years later to Minnetonka, Minnesota, where they served Bethlehem Lutheran Church until their retirement. After their youngest was in middle school, Charlotte worked for Republic and Northwest Airlines. It is telling that she was steered from her initial position in the tax department to a customer help desk, where she was well known for her ability to melt anger and diffuse frustrations before helping customers solve their problems. Many-a-customer probably hung up the phone wondering, “What just happened and why do I feel so contented?” She also served two terms on the Board of Regents for Concordia University, St. Paul, MN. At retirement, Charlotte and Arden built a home in Waconia, Minnesota, where her care-taking found new ground in lush perennial and vegetable gardens and a new church community. They traveled extensively, both overseas and around the continent, putting many, many miles on their trusty RV before it, too, retired. Preceding Charlotte in death were her parents, Oliver Carl and Edith Edna Westberg; her brother, Daniel O.Westberg; brothers-in-law Jack Doty, Bill Johnson, Rolf Husby, and Ben Misch; and granddaughter, Erin Engelstad. She is survived by her husband of nearly 67 years, Arden H. Malotky; her siblings and spouses: Grace E. Doty, Sylvia A. Leslie (John), Mary M. Westberg, and Paul A. Westberg (Martha); Arden’s sisters: Elizabeth Husby and Tekla Misch; her children: Catherine A. Malotky (David Engelstad), Richard A. Malotky (Ann), Janet L. Malotky (Steve Dietz), Mary B. Malotky (Cory Carlson), John C. Malotky (Diann Crane), and Daniel J. Malotky (Michele); her grandchildren: Cara Herrick (Gabe), Abbie Engelstad (Kenzie O’Keefe), Max Malotky (Kristine), Kim Nealy (Jason), Keel Dietz, Birch Malotky, Søren Carlson, Jane Smith (Luke), Megan Malotky, Nicole Malotky, Martin Malotky and Simon Malotky; her great-grandchildren: Ollie and Anja Herrick, Liv Nealy, and Finn Malotky; plus many nieces and nephews. Condolences may be sent to Arden Malotky at 16563 Gray’s Bay Boulevard, Wayzata, MN 55391. Memorial gifts may be directed to Lutheran World Relief, The Lutheran Hour, or Care Ministries at Trinity Lutheran Church in Waconia, MN. A service in celebration of Charlotte’s life will be held when it is possible to gather again.

James F. Wittmer, LA '55, MD '57; June '20 Dr. James (Jim) F. Wittmer, of Sun City, Georgetown, Texas, passed away on June 13, 2020, at the age of 87, after a heroic battle with cancer. He was a native of Carlinville, Illinois, born on December 30, 1932, to Franklin and Eva Wittmer. He will be laid for final rest at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where his beloved wife, Juanita, will later join him. From his earliest memories, Jim couldn’t recall ever wanting to be anything other than a doctor or a scientist. “Science opens all the doors, except to our own human character,” Jim would observe. He graduated cum laude from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (1957), a place in which he continued to hold in high regards given its esteemed recognition in research and how the cancer center and medical community deeply supported he and Juanita in later years. After graduating and completing an internship in surgery at University at Virginia Hospital, Jim completed his residency in the U.S. Air Force Aerospace Medicine Specialty Training Program and earned a Master of Public Health at Harvard University (1962). While stationed at Randolph Air Force Base, he met his future wife, Juanita, and together they had three cherished daughters: Ellen, Carol and Nancy. Jim retired from the Air Force as colonel and Headquarters USAF Chief of Medical Resources and Directorate (1979). He transitioned into the corporate world of occupational medicine very naturally holding key positions including 14 years as U.S. Medical Director of Mobil Oil Corporation and 12 years with ITT Corporation where he rose to become Corporate Vice President of Health, Environment and Safety and had the opportunity to travel considerably with Juanita. Jim’s “hobbies” after retirement included voracious reading of world affairs and advances in medicine and serving as a trusted advisor to his family. Those who knew Jim could attest to his humble yet sharp intellect, drive and passion to serve others and sometimes dry sense of humor. He was devoted to his wife, family and faith and wanted nothing more than to leave the world with a positive legacy. He is survived by his wife, 3 daughters, 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. He had recently been quoted as saying “I’ve done everything on my bucket list. I accomplished everything I’ve hoped for and then some. I saw more than I could have imagined. Juanita and I have been married 58 years and she’s a great woman. She’s the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.” Jim/Dad/Grampa can rest in peace now. In lieu of flowers, Jim’s family will gratefully accept any donations to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Siteman Cancer Center.

James R. Goggin, MD '62; April '20 Goggin, Dr. James Age 87 of Greenville, Illinois, died at his home on Monday, April 20, 2020, after a prolonged illness. Jim was born in Lesterville, MO, to William 0. and Muriel Owensby Goggin on February 25, 1933. His elementary education was pursued in one-room schools in Lesterville, MO, and in Ellis Grove, IL. Jim attended high school in Sparta for 3 years, but the schools were redistricted and he was transferred to Chester to graduate in 1950. From there he went to SIU-Carbondale, where he earned his A.B. in Chemistry. Next he moved on to the Air Force where he served as a pilot for 3 years. Upon discharge, he was employed by Mallinckrodt Chemical in St. Louis. After a year, Jim decided he'd had enough oflaboratory chemistry. He entered Washington University School of Medicine, grad�ating in 1962 and followed that with an internship and residency at St. Louis City Hospital. In 1959, he and Mary Lou Penn were married in St. Louis. They made their home in Greenville. It was here that he practiced medicine for 55 years and they reared their five sons. Dr. Goggin is survived by his wife of 61 years and sons, Jeff, Matt (Grace), Jamie (Laura), Dan, and Andy (Stephanie). Grandchildren include: Patrick, Ben and Peter- sons of Matt; Sam and Ian - sons of Jamie; Dominic and Moriah, children of Dan; and Natalie and Zachary, children of Andy. Also surviving are Jim's brothers, Lee (Judy) and Joe (Joyce).

Alan L. Goldman, MD '63; April '20 Alan Lawrence Goldman died peacefully at the age of82 on April 17, 2020. Just a few hours earlier his wife and daughters gathered bedside. Holding his hands, they retold stories of the school projects he took charge of, the coffee ice cream he loved, and his lifetime list of winnings playing poker with his Raleigh guys. Alan, son of Alfred Goldman and Miriam Londy Goldman, grew up in St. Louis with his brothers Tom and Roger. He was such a scholar that he would attend chemistry lab on Saturday mornings . Did he get extra credit? No it was just an interesting class and the teacher would toast hot dogs over Bunsen burners. Alan's summers at Camp Nebagamon in Wisconsin--fishing, teaching archery and riflery, singing, and playing hilarious songs-had a huge impact on his life. There, his 6'3" stature earned him his nickname of "Highpockets." Years later, the Camp Nebagamon director set Alan up with Jill Rashkis for their first date-a study date mind you-and the rest is history ... including the Myrtle Beach Honeymoon dupng which Alan thought it a wonderful activity for him and his brid.e to go deep sea fishing. Jill enjoyed it except for the throwing up part, Jill and Alan moved around the country from St. Louis to Denver to New Jersey to Beaufort, SC where Alan learned to be a pediatrician. The Goldmans arrived in Raleigh in 1971- there was a new neonatologist in town. Actually, Alan was the first and only neonatologist in town. (Harvard undergrad and Washington University Medical School). He soon joined Bob Fleming and Steve Edwards at Raleigh Children and Adolescent Medicine. He loved working with children, especially his own three: Brian, Betsy, and Melissa. There was nothing he loved more than gleefully making up practice chemistry tests for them. Fifth grade science teachers were surprised when the Goldman kids would show up with fancy test tubes of chemical compounds for the science fair. He wasn't a Harvard chemistry major for nothing. Music was a huge part of Alan's life. He played piano by ear, guitar, banjo, and hammered dulcimer, but his favorite was always the banjo. At Harvard, he joined a rockabilly band called the Raunch Hands and they made two records which are still in the collection at home today. Every year he'd take the family to the beach. When he wasn't catching fish with his kids and later grandkids, he was sitting on the deck playing the banjo and singing bluegrass songs. He did everything ridiculously well. He loved playing golf, tennis, horseshoes, poker, cribbage, bowling and fishing. 30 degrees out? A fine day for golf. Going to play mini golf with the kids? Wait-let Alan go grab his own putter to bring along. He was also a master woodworker, building furniture in his home workshop for his kids, grandkids, and friends. The secret to Alan's happiness was that he appreciated what he had: He'd happily drive his Honda for 20 years. That boxfan from 1967? Purrs like a kitten. He didn't need a cell phone, he'd borrow a landline from the store if need be. Travel the world? What was wrong with Emerald Isle and Brevard each year? Alan was passionate about nature. He taught his family all the names of the trees, flowers and plants, and loved hiking, camping and fishing on Sierra club backpacking trips with Jill. Jill is a gourmet cook, which Alan appreciated, but he was just as happy with whatever was placed before him. Alan could poke his spoon into a bowl of stale cornflakes, take a bite and say, "mines fine". You could always see Alan coming with his huge smile, Tilley hat, and light blue fishing jacket. He's survived by loving wife Jill, daughters Betsy, Melissa, Melissa's husband Scott Rouse, Brian's wife Michele and grandsons' Jared and Ben Goldman and Jake and Austin Rouse, beloved brothers Tom of Mill Valley, CA and Roger of St Louis, MO and of course Stephanie and Barb, and nephews Sam and Josh. Also it is most important to remember dad's poker guys: Steve Edwards, Hank Cantrell, Scott Stephens, Nick Davanzo, Melvin Kennedy and Richard Ramirez. He will always live on in our hearts and lives. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to WCPE the classical music station, WUNC public radio and the Sierra Club.

John D will be remembered for his wit, kindness, intelligence, and work ethic. He was serious, philosophical, analytical and thoughtful but loved to laugh, even at silly movies like "Airplane", which he ironically called "high class humor." He loved computers and photography, using his skills to prepare church newsletters and directories. He was especially kind and giving to his nephew Wiley Ray who depended upon his computer to communicate. Rumor has it that he found out a patient's family had never been to Disney World and so he paid their way. He was very devoted to his church, St.Catherine Eastern Orthodox Church. John D was deeply in love with his wife Sharon. The two loved to travel together and their favorite destination was Prague. John D had no cooking skills whatsoever; perhaps an angel will have the time and patience to teach him how to scramble an egg! The family will have a private graveside service. Memorial services will be held at a future date.

After graduating from medical school, Dr. Ridgeway attended Duke University for his internship. Duke's internship program was evidently one of the most rigorous in the country and he actually looked forward to fulfilling his military obligation. Other than combat, he thought that the Air Force could not be as demanding as Duke. He served two years in the U.S. Air Force as a flight surgeon with the rank of Captain. He was stationed at Luke AFB and although not a pilot he qualified as a member of the Mach Buster's Club in a USAF F-100 Super Sabre. He was given a commemorative call name of ""Eyeball"" by the units he served. Following military service, he completed his medical training at Washington University in St. Louis as a resident in Ophthalmology. He practiced ophthalmology for over 40 years in South St. Louis and South County. He had wonderful, interesting patients and served many families for three generations. Dr. Ridgeway travelled extensively with his family and spent many holiday vacations alpine skiing. He was also an accomplished golfer ( even though at one time a scratch player he always said his sister, Anne, was the better golfer), a tennis player, map collector and a World War II history enthusiast. He was passionate about Mizzou Football, Cardinal's Baseball and St. Louis Blues Hockey, of which he was a season ticket holder for 40 years. He leaves his family and friends, many lifelong, who will miss him dearly: his wife, Karen; his marvelous son, William Jefferson, ""Jeff,"" his wonderful daughter-in-law, Robin, and his clever and promising grandchildren, Eloise, William and Jackson of San Francisco. He leaves his sister, Anne Ridgeway Borgmann and her husband, John, and their family - niece, Marcia Borgmann Hart and her children Conor, and his son Bentley, Tessa and Tayah, and his nephew, Michael Borgmann, and his wife, Karin, and their children, Kaija and Thomas, all of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; his cousin, Linda Ridgeway, of Columbia; his nephew, Mathew Klaus, and his wife, Colleen; and his niece, Katura Klaus, all of St. Louis; Robin's parents, Stuart and Rosalind Loomis, of St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. Bill was preceded in death by his grandparents; parents; several aunts and uncles, and, recently, his brother-in-law, Kenneth M. Klaus. Due to the extraordinary era in which we find ourselves, a gathering of family and friends will be held at a later date to celebrate Bill's Life. He was COVID-19 positive and made a brave effort to survive. Since his Barnes and Ridgeway families settled in the area before Boone was a county and Missouri was a state, it will be comforting for him to be back home and at rest. The Ridgeway family would like to extend sympathy and condolences to all families touched by the coronavirus. Our hearts go out to you. Indeed, together, these times sadden and try us all - family, friends and those we know in our daily lives.

Eugene J. Sayfie, MD '60; May '20 EUGENE J. SAYFIE, M.D. Some say no one is perfect, but the multitudes who knew Dr. Eugene J. Sayfie would argue otherwise. An old-fashioned doctor with a cutting-edge mind, Dr. Sayfie left every place he visited and every person he met better than he found them. He carried his doctor's black bag with him everywhere and was rarely seen without a stethoscope around his neck. Every patient had his personal cell phone number and he never knew the meaning of 'working hours' because he was always on call, for anyone in need, meeting each person on his path with enthusiasm, optimism and a readiness to help in any way he could. Dr. Sayfie measured life by two standards: the first- whether you enjoyed the journey, and the second- did you make a difference to others along the way. Dr. Sayfie exceeded all measures on both. Dr. Sayfie's greatest passions were his loving family, his practice of medicine, his devoted faith, humanitarianism, excellence in education and philanthropy. Everyone left his side feeling better about the world and better about themselves. His optimism and enthusiasm were infectious and will be an enormous part of his legacy. One of his favorite quotes was "Carpe Diem." Eugene J. Sayfie was born in Charleston, West Virginia to Lebanese immigrant parents. At five years old, he started working alongside his older brother selling newspapers and from that day forward, he never stopped. Eugene lost both his father and stepfather before age 10 and was raised with his sister Ernestine and brothers Ernest and Russell by their Mother Selma and their Aunt Mary. An exceptional student and avid athlete (known as "machine-gun Sayfie" for his proclivity on the basketball court,) he excelled in every endeavor throughout high school and college, graduating Phi Beta Kappa from West Virginia University. He was awarded a scholarship to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis where he graduated second in his class. His ascent in the medical field continued as he completed residencies in Internal Medicine at the Harvard Medical School Services at Boston City Hospital and at the University Hospital of Cleveland, followed by a Cardiology fellow-ship at the latter institution. He often quoted Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, "Work is love made visible" and he was renowned for his steadfast commitment to his patients and his incomparable work ethic. "My view has always been that we are here to serve the patient first and foremost," said Dr. Sayfie at the dedication of The Eugene J. Sayfie, M.D., Pavilion for Excellence in Patient Care at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The Eugene J.

Dr. Sayfie received the inaugural Distinguished Master Clinician Award presented by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine which is awarded to a top Miller School clinician who exemplifies excellence in patient care. He and his wife Suzie were engaged after only eleven dates over three months. It was love at first sight for both of them. They have been married for 51 years and all who know them consider their relationship a fairytale love story for the ages. They did everything together. They traveled the world and took their four daughters Stephanie, Nicole, Lisa and Amy with them. There have never been more devoted parents attending every school event for their children together at Ransom Everglades School where Dr. Sayfie served on the Board of Trustees. They were regulars on campus and in the sports stands where Dr. Sayfie was the biggest fan for his girls. This year, both Dr. Sayfie and his wife Suzie were proud to be named Grandparents Chairs for Ransom where their grand-children now attend. He was also a huge fan of his hometown teams, the Miami HEAT and Miami Dolphins. A practicing physician since 1960, Dr. Sayfie has been lauded for his practice, his academic contributions and his tenacious and persistent pursuit of know-ledge.

He attended Brigham Young University, served a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in France, and graduated from Washington University with his DDS. Mick loved life, learning, and helping others. His favorite quote was “life is a banquet and too many are starving to death.” He practiced dentistry and orthodontics for 43 years, and once retired shifted to full time with his skills as a Registered Piano Technician – tuning, repairing, and rebuilding thousands of pianos. He and Donna were able to work together in these and many other pursuits. He was an avid cyclist, heading up what later became the second largest cycling race in the nation. He himself logged many miles pedaling across the USA both by himself, once with his grandson, and several times with Donna on the back of their tandem (bicycle built for two). An outstanding musician, he played his trombone in the Oshkosh, WI symphony and was an accomplished pianist as well. Mick gave piano recitals and hosted concerts which benefited local churches, coached and accompanied, and taught and encouraged many. For the majority of his adult life, he was involved in promoting music in the communities in which he lived– whether serving as a board member, performing in brass quintets, or accompanying community choirs, music was a central part of his life. He loved the woods. He was a devoted hunter– feeding and teaching many with this hobby– and always taught respect and reverence for what God had created. Mick was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many capacities and was always eager to help someone in need. His legacy of service has been instilled in his grandchildren through annual family reunions which he courageously commandeered. He is survived by his wife Donna, of Grand Island and four children: Michelle (Jeff) Martin of St. Louis, MO; Rusty (Vicki) O’Brien of Louisville, KY; Lori Lynn Strawbridge of St. Louis, MO; and Kimberly (Henry) Gonzalez of Las Vegas, NV.

The family would like to extend a huge appreciation to the heartfelt kindness and care of the nurses and doctors at CHI Health St. Francis. His days were lengthened for 41 years because of the generous gift of life: two kidney transplants from first a brother, and then a sister. Memorials may be made to the Alport Syndrome Foundation, P.O. Box 4130, Scottsdale, AZ 85261-4130 [email protected].

Ronald P. Wilbois, HS '71; May '20 Ronald P Wilbois, B.S., M.D., F.A.C.O.G, F.A.F.S. Our loving spouse, father, grandfather, and friend, Ronald Peter Wilbois entered eternal life on Thursday May 14th, 2020 at the age of 82. Ron was born on his mother's 40th birthday August 20th, 193 7 in Chicago, Illinois to Peter and Ellen Wilbois. He began his work life at age six driving people's groceries home with his wagon. At age eight, he was a paperboy. He became a soda jerk at age 13, and by 15 was a pharmacy technician. Family, poverty and aging parents brought concerns of how he could care for his family. The cold reality his junior year of high school was that he needed to go to college. The problem was a C average. He approached the University of IllinoisChicago for help. The final deal: one scholarship in exchange for straight A's his senior year of high school. Ron achieved straight A's and secured the scholarship with the university. He graduated with honors from the college of pharmacy in 1959. That experience showed Ron that he could do or be anything he wanted if he tried "hard enough". With the power of his new realization in mind, he forged ahead. In 1960, he graduated from the University of Illinois-Chicago, Navy Pier Pre-Med program. It was during this year, a nursing student, Carol Rischeck, stole his heart. They were married September 10th, 1960 in St. Louis, Missouri. Ron entered University of Illinois-Chicago, College of Medicine in the fall of 1960, graduating in 1964 with his M.D. and two daughters to boot, Kimberly Carol and Krista Ellen. Ron moved the family to St. Louis, Missouri and completed his internship at Jewish Hospital in 1965. Ron was drafted in the U.S. Army as a Medical Officer at Brooke Army General Hospital in San Antonio, Texas. He remained there until 1967, ending his military career as a Medical Officer Captain in the 25th and America! Divisions, C.O. Company C. During that time, he served a 12 month deployment to Vietnam where he build a 120 bed hospital for wounded troops. Money saved, he returned to St. Louis to complete his four year residency at Washington University. He declared his specialty in OB/GYN. Ten years earlier, he had delivered hi first baby simply by circumstance; the doctor couldn't get there in time. Who was that baby? His first daughter! The excitement was in his blood. Ron began his new career at Washington University in 1971 as an OB/GYN instructor moving to assistant professor in 1973, and finally as Assistant Clinical Professor in 1986. During this time, he moved into private practice. He was now known as OB/GYN Consultants of St. Louis County. After six years, Ron made the difficult decision that he could no longer practice obstetrics without fear of endangering his family due to new laws and regulations enacted for Obstetricians. His inner drive found a solution that would replace the loss: infertility. As an emerging field, he sought out the most knowledgeable IVF physicians in the world and trained under their instruction. In 1992, he hit a new milestone in his career; he launched the Infertility and IVF center at Missouri Baptist Hospital in St. Louis. Frustrated and hopeless couples filled his chairs. Proud new parents decorated his office with the pictures of their angelic babies. This became his legacy. Ron finished his career as 13th in the nation for IVF success rates. His family is so proud of his accomplishments in life. Ron is survived by his wife Carol Rischeck Wilbois; two daughters, Kimberly (Frank) Allen, Krista Howard; and four grandchildren, Travis Ronald (Alexis) Allen, Nathanael Frank (Lauren) Allen, Morgan Danielle Howard, and Zachary William Howard.

Daniel J. Lamar, HS '85; March '20 Dr. Daniel J. LaMar, 65, of Lafayette, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 19, 2020, after complications related to pneumonia, with loved ones by his side. He was born June 21, 1954, in Indianapolis, IN, to the late Victor and Edith (Sellers) LaMar. He was the youngest of three siblings and always remained close to his sister, Vicki LaMar and brother, John LaMar. Daniel was a Ben Davis High School graduate, Class of 1972. He then attended Indiana-Purdue University where he majored in Chemistry with a minor in Mathematics. In 1978, he was awarded a National Science Foundation Fellowship for his work in Stereochemistry of Ketonization of Enols. He went on to graduate from IU School of Medicine in 1980. He completed his residency in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology at Indiana University Medical Center in 1984. In addition, Dan obtained further post graduate education for Surgical Pathology at Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's Hospital, Washington School of Medicine. His lengthy career as a Board-Certified Pathologist also included other positions in the medical field such as, Medical Director of Hematology, as well as, Department of Pathology Chairman at Holy Cross Hospital, in Salt Lake City, Utah (1985-1989). After moving back to Indiana, to be closer to family, he served as Medical Director of Clinical Chemistry at Home Hospital and Medical Director of Laboratory and Pathology, in Logansport (1992-2003). Throughout much of his career, Dan worked as a Volunteer Clinical Assistant Professor of Pathology at Indiana University School of Medicine. He also served Wabash County, completing Coroner's Autopsies, all the while, practicing Nuclear Medicine at Dukes Memorial Hospital. His most recent position was that of Medical Director of Wabash County Hospital, but he had recently retired. Throughout his 35year career as a pathologist, he made countless diagnoses and touched thousands of lives. He was always quite modest about his accomplishments, but through his career he made an impact that words can not adequately describe. Daniel truly practiced medicine, he had a thirst for knowledge and always sought additional information to ensure a correct diagnosis for every case he encountered. He was meticulous and pragmatic in his approach, not only to medicine, but his life. Colleagues and friends over the years have referred to him being one of the most brilliant physicians they have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was described by those who knew him best, as being kind, compassionate and always willing to lend an ear, or a kind word. His truest loves in life were his children and grandchildren. Whether it be trotting around on his hands and knees with all three of his kids playing horsey, playing trains or Legos with his sons and grandsons or playing dolls and getting his hair done by his daughter or granddaughter, he had a gift for connecting with them. He had a way of showing how deeply he loved and cherished them by simply being the best Dad and Grandad one could imagine. He always stressed the importance of family in his life and was fiercely protective and loyal to them. In a world often filled with uncertainty and doubt, his dedication to the loves of his life was never questioned. He also enjoyed hobbies of photography, gardening, antique collecting, vacations at the beach, and was known to possess a quirky sense of humor. Daniel will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. Our hope is that he can rest peacefully in the knowledge that he left behind a legacy of love that will endure now and forever. Surviving are children, Christopher (Sheena) LaMar of West Lafayette, Amy LaMar and Brian LaMar both of Lafayette, a sister, Vicki LaMar of Pittsboro and a brother, John (Peggy) LaMar of Brownsburg. Also surviving are grandchildren, Gideon Clendenen, Juliette and Welles LaMar. As well as 4 nieces and nephews, Steve, Lindsey, Jarred and Rachel.

James R. Panuska, HS '86; April '20 James "Jim" Roy Panuska 70, of Hendersonville, NC passed away at his home on Monday, April 6, 2020 after a three year struggle with cancer. He was born in Rapid City, South Dakota the eldest son to the late George and Genevieve Panuska. Jim graduated from Texas Christian University in 1970 (go Horned Frogs!) and went on to earn an M.D. and Ph.D in biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. It was in Cleveland that he met his future wife, Ann Hart, a nurse and Akron native, through mutual friends Maryann Liguore and Vladimir Swerchowsky. They married in 1977, had two daughters and moved the family to Houston, Texas to finish Jim's internship and residency in Internal Medicine at Baylor Medical Center, where he served as Chief Resident. From there it was another move to St. Louis to complete a fellowship in Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology at Washington University before finally joining the faculty at CWRU, teaching and running a research lab specializing in treatment of respiratory syncytial virus. Jim loved the complexity of research and the relationships made with students and colleagues and formed especially close, lifelong friendships with Drs. Fabio Midulla, Alberto Villani and Rocco Merolla, who came from the University of Rome to work alongside Jim, and learn from the research in his lab. The years in Cleveland as a young family were happy ones, with close friends and extended family nearby, the welcoming of a son, and years of rooting for the Indians and Cavs. In 1997, Jim left academics and joined a private Allergy & Asthma practice in Midland, Texas. Although he missed his research, he loved his patients and was often gifted with venison, quail, and dirty jokes from their visits. Jim quickly adapted to life as a West Texan, taking his son hunting, getting a pickup truck, and trading in fishing poles for golf clubs with good friends Drs. Steve Hankinson and Dave Power. Jim's passion for cooking and gardening came from working alongside his mother both in the garden and the kitchen and was especially influenced by her epicurean tastes and traditional Scandinavian dishes. As a boy, he was introduced to his other passion, fishing, by his Uncle Roy and honed that skill in the lakes and rivers of South Dakota with his lifelong friend Jim Stordahl, the waters of the Caribbean as his family moved to St. John in the Virgin Islands, and then throughout adulthood in fishing expeditions around the country. Retiring in 2013, he and Ann moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina. Realizing quickly that he and Ann couldn't share a yard for vegetables, he bought a small property nearby with good sunshine and lots of room to grow tomatoes. Little did he know at the time that this was the beginning of his much loved Willow Oak Farm. Beekeeping, growing fava beans, building birdhouses and driving the tractor filled his days. Throughout his life, Jim discovered and explored things deeply, every few years diving headlong into another interest. Along the way, he found and cultivated strong friendships. Above all, he loved and cherished his family deeply and held his time with them dear. Jim will be terribly missed by his wife of 43 years, Ann; two daughters Genevieve and husband Scott Harper, Katharine and husband Jon Lentz, one son Matthew Panuska, his much loved grandchildren Avery Harper and Frances and Juniper Lentz; two sisters Jeanette Nesseler and Jill Clement, and one brother Jay Panuska. When traveling is once again permitted, his family will gather at the farmhouse to celebrate his life.
