James A. Hirschy ’60

Jim died July 5, 2024, at his home in Connecticut.

Born in Molokai, Hawaii, Jim and his family left just before Pearl Harbor; he grew up and attended Arsenal High School in Indianapolis, Indiana. After learning that physics at Princeton was not as easy as at Arsenal, Jim decided to major in biology. He also served in Orange Key, joined the Pre-Med Society and dined at Key and Seal. He went on to Jefferson Medical School, earned a medical degree in 1964, interned there in 1965 and joined the Army Reserve. He retired as a captain in 1970 while doing his residency in radiology at New York-Cornell Medical Center.

Jim spent most of his career in private practice in radiology until joining a large group practice in New York in his later years. He loved life in New York: the Metropolitan Opera and the fellowship of the Opera Club, the New York City Ballet, several wine associations, access to Long Island beaches, and a country house in rural Connecticut for gardening, hunting, and skiing.

Jim is survived by his three children and their families, to whom we offer our sympathies.
