David P. McCallie ’44

Dave died Oct. 7, 2013, in Chattanooga, Tenn.

A lifelong resident of Chattanooga, Dave came to Princeton from the McCallie School, which was founded in part by his father. An honors student in chemistry at Princeton, he left in March 1943 to attend the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and then spent two years in the Navy.

Dave and his wife, Maddin Lupton, had four sons, one of whom died at age 26. Dave had a notable medical career in Chattanooga, where he served on many medical boards. He was honored numerous times as a distinguished citizen, Outstanding Physician of the Year, and for his service to the delivery of quality health care. He also was chairman of the McCallie School and president of the county medical society.

Dave was a dedicated Christian and was an elder in the local Presbyterian church. Family ties were constantly strengthened through camping trips. A lengthy memorial in the Chattanooga papers noted he was an exceptional doctor, a leader in his profession, and a man of great service to his community and state.

Predeceased by Maddin, his wife of 59 years, he is survived by three sons, David, Allen, and Jack; and five grandchildren.
