After completing his residency, he served as a surgeon in Royal Army Medical Corps for 2 years in the Korean War. In 1960, he joined the University of Miami School of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He was a pioneer in the field of high risk OB-GYN at Jackson Memorial Hospital and dedicated his life to providing exceptional medical care to the women of Miami. For over 40 years, he had a passion for teaching the medical students about the field of Ob-GYN and training the residents to become superbly trained surgeons as well as compassionate phyiscians . He is survived by his beloved wife Doris, his daughter Moira and her husband Brad, his sons Stewart, Douglas and his daughter Lesley and her husband Scanlon and his grandaughters Sara and her husband Shay and Emily. A celebration of his life will be held at Plymouth Church on 5th May, 2018 at noon.
