“My father loved chemistry. In his career, he covered a range of disciplines, from physical organic studies to polymers and materials to medical devices. He began his career at Union Carbide and went on to work with companies including Pfizer, Cambrex Hydrogels, and Axelgaard Manufacturing. Later, he became a consultant, sharing deep expertise in hydrogels and wound dressings. He loved being both a scientist and a manager, taking pride in each. In retirement, he enjoyed exploring his interest in photography, especially nature scenes. He also loved reading, especially biographies of historical figures and accounts of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.”—Suzanne Stokes, daughter
