Died Jan. 27, 2007, aged 88, North Vancouver. “After completing specialty training in internal medicine in Vienna, Austria, Dr. Mayr immigrated to Canada with his family, interning in Moose Jaw, and writing the LMCC in 1952. He then worked at the Shute Institute in London, Ont., for a year before starting a general practice in the east of the city. He cared for his largely immigrant practice for almost 40 years and retired at age 72. House calls were a routine part of his practice. He is survived by his children, Maria, and Heinz, Michael and Barbara, who followed in his footsteps in general practice.”

Miller, Hugh Standfield, Vancouver; McGill University, 1952. Died Feb. 3, 2007, aged 82. “A successful ortho-pedic surgeon, Dr. Miller was also a man of many other talents, especially in the fields of music, art and nature. He was a master with his hands, whether it was using a scalpel in the operating room, tools in his workshop, a brush on canvas or a pen on paper. He practised at the Vancouver General Hospital and was director of the emergency department for 25 years. He oversaw the relocation and modernization of the department and facilitated the emergence of the new specialty of emergency medicine. Countless patients have benefited from his legacy. As a clinical teacher, his gentle, calm, yet confident manner was appreciated by generations of residents and students. Hugh is survived by his wife, anesthesiologist Dr. Mary Miller, and their 4 children, Duncan (also a physician), Lisa, John and Hamish.”

He graduated from medical school in 1954 and practised medicine until 2006. Sam dedicated his life to medicine and to his patients. He felt that it was a privlege to get to know them and be part of their lives. He became a Certificant of the College of Family Physicians in 1971. In 2006 he travelled to Quebec to receive his fellowship in family medicine. Although weakened by illness, he walked across the stage to a standing ovation, an event that he said was a perfect end to a wonderful career. He is survived by his children, Fran (Lewis) and Bob (Julie), their mother, Edythe, and 6 grandchildren.”

Trahan, Maurice, Sainte-Thérèse, Que.; Université Laval, 1957, anesthesia. Died Feb. 2, 2007, aged 78.
