John W Thomas

[Orion1111@AOL.COM]

I am sad to report the passing of John W Thomas, the University of 

Pennyslvania Health Physicist from about 1953 to 1988, of prostate cancer on 

15 August.  John was an early secretary of the Health Physics Society and a 

charter member of the AAPM (American association of Physicists in Medicine).  

Those who knew John will never forget his infectious laughter and wonderful 

sense of humor and his optimistic outlook on life.  His lovely wife, Ruth, 

preceded him in death three years ago. They both are sadly missed by all who 

knew them.
