Lois was known for her deep devo- tion to friends and family, warm smile, and unending hospitality.
Her door was always open, either at home in Minneapolis or on Maple Hill near Grand Marais, where she and her husband John built their be- loved one-room log cabin. Lois loved exploring the North Shore with John and enjoying the simplici- ty of life outside. Lois and John also traveled the world and encouraged their children to do the same. She was always ready to share a meal, a cold drink, and a story or her opinions on making the world a bet- ter place. Coming from a large fami- ly, then raising six children, Lois was always ready to, unofficially, add to her clan and would chuckle on the less-than-rare occasions when her friends would ask, "Could you adopt me?" Lois and John were also strong sup- porters of many causes and organi- zations in which they believed.

After Char was diag- nosed with pancreatic cancer in 1997, George remained at her side until her passing late that year.
Later in life, George and the late Helen McNulty became regular companions (a development Char would have cheered), sharing their wit and enjoying their many mutual friends.

He was consistently jo- vial and enthusiastic, and treated all people he encountered with re- spect. Though he was never boastful about his professional life, was the definition of a dili- gent and caring family physician, who would stop at nothing to get the answers needed by the patient. Or, if there was no cure, he was the one to come alongside to help alle- viate suffering in the process of dying. He delivered thousands of babies, and saw many of them through their growing-up years. He retired just 9 short years ago, proud to do this while celebrating his 50th year of medical practice.
After graduating from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL, and then Universi- ty of Minnesota Medical School (al- ways a proud Gopher), he began his practice in Marshall, MN. He then served as a Navy physician in Indianhead, MD, following which he practiced family medicine in Robbinsdale, MN. In 1980, he found his passion for teaching, and spent the rest of his career training resi- dents and students (while still prac- ticing medicine right along with them) at the Mayo Clinic, of So. Illinois and finally 21 years as Program Director for the of program in Waterloo. Always the curious and rigorous one, John also performed clinical research and published 40 scientific journal arti- cles.
While dedicated to his career, he was also devoted to his children, who will miss him greatly.
