Howard D. Siedler ’51

CY SIEDLER DIED of brain cancer Apr. 26, 1994, in Mill Valley, Calif. He was an outstanding and well-loved neurologist in the San Francisco Bay Area. He graduated from the Washington Univ. School of Medicine in St. Louis; interned and did his residen­cy at Barnes Hospital there; worked at the Natl. Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.; and got his neurological residency at Boston City Hospital.

From 1962 until his death, Cy was a major par­ticipant in Bay Area neurology. The list of univer­sities, hospitals, and prisons there that he served is a long one. His popularity and professional acumen have been appreciated by peers and patients. He was a doctor from the old school for whom com­passion was an essential ingredient in the doctor­-patient relationship. A fellow neurologist remem­bers Cy as "a man of values who never wavered from them."

Cy, Nancy, his wife of 40 years, and their chil­dren were an outdoors group-they hiked, fished, and went duck hunting. In 1980, they built a cabin on Kodiak Island so remote that all building mate­rials had to be brought in by helicopter and boat.

Cy, a son of '19, was born in Montclair, N.J. At Princeton, he majored in psychology and was a member of Cannon Club, The Tiger, and the track team. The class regrets Cy's death and extends condolences to Nancy and the family.
