With no lingering look behind us, facing forward, With the courage you have given us to dare, Alma Mater, towering high above the valley, May we ever keep your name unstained and fair. In our hearts we hold as dearest of our treasures truths from your teaching, noble and inspired, The ideals that will ever lead us onward, upward, Strength that will not fail us when it's tried. Oh, Wesleyan, favored college of the hilltops, Where daylight lingers even when the night has come, Where the vision of your great and earnest effors Inspire each loyal daughter and each son. To you we bid farewell, for we are going, Our voices echo in your halls no more. But we carry in our hearts your noblest precepts, Each member of the class of "Twenty Four." 1983 Died 1983-10-06 at her home in Marietta, OH [Emeritus Club Newsletter 1984-03, p.5]		1983-10-06	Marietta, OH (1980-09)

He was in the US Navy stationed as a physician along the East Coast, primarily in Virginia and Maryland from 1943-1947. After discharge from the Navy following the end of WWII, he practiced medicine in the Wheeling, WV area for a year before deciding that he would like to settle in Buckhannon, WV in 1949. He practiced medicine until his retirement in 1989 and was honored by being named “Mr. Doc” by the WV Academy of Family Physicians. His greatest professional joy was in the patients he treated and the relationships with them formed over the years. He felt a great sense of privilege and gratitude helping to usher in new life by delivering at least 2500 or more babies. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Buckhannon since 1949 singing in the choir for 55 years and serving in various capacities on committees of the church.

He served on the Upshur County Board of Education for 30 years. He considered it a great privilege to have presented all of his children their high school diplomas. One of his favorite pastimes was golf. At the age of 88 he experienced the delight of golfers, a hole-in-one. He was a member of the Buckhannon Country Club for 55 years and the Rotary Club for 45 years. He was a licensed pilot, enjoyed riding his unicycle and especially enjoyed riding bike trails with his beloved wife, Sarah. Also, he was prolific in doing cross stitch and completed many beautiful works which now hang prominently and proudly in the homes of family and friends. Being a man of insatiable curiosity, he used the Internet as a treasure trove in satisfying his hunger for answers to his questions. Dad, Pater, Doc, Doctor Bob, Grandpa Doc, all names by which he will be remembered. In his later years he was rarely seen without his sweet companion, a long-haired Dachshund, Diggy. He considered his greatest possessions to be his wonderful family and many good friends. He will be celebrated for his life devoted to caring and healing with compassion, kindness and exceptional love. Friends will be received Wednesday, April 4, 2018 from 5 to 8 PM at the Poling-St. Clair Funeral Home.
