Henry Bard, known to the class as Hank, died Jan. 3, 2014.

Hank prepared for Princeton at Berkshire Academy, joined Colonial, and was one of the few who remained on campus to graduate in 1945. Hank had enrolled in the Army medical program at Princeton and received a medical degree in 1948 from Columbia.

In 1951 he married Marjorie Anderson and transferred from the Army to the Navy, where he served as a medical officer in Japan during the Korean War. He then undertook a lifelong career as a surgeon at Glen Cove (N.Y.) Hospital on Long Island.

Marjorie and Hank had two sons and a daughter, but divorced in the 1970s. Hank married Lucie Taft in 1980.

Upon retirement Hank found pleasure in reading, gardening, croquet, and walking his dog, Rufus. He enjoyed many Seabourn cruises to faraway places such as Australia and New Zealand, South America, Russia, Egypt, and Turkey. Hank was a kind and gentle man who will be sorely missed. Sons Bruce and Douglas predeceased him. He is survived by his widow, Lucie, and his daughter, Holly Bard. The class expresses its sympathy to the family.
