John Burchard Fine ’52

John Fine died Feb. 6, 1983. He was 51.

He graduated from Andover in 1948. After graduation from Yale Medical School in 1956, he completed his internship at King's County Hospital in Seattle. This was followed by two years in the Air Force, stationed in Tachikawa, Japan. He served as a medical officer in the largest hospital in the Far East. After two years in a general-practice residency in Sacramento, he returned to practice in Essex, N.Y., where he had spent summers as a child. He found his work satisfying, was loved by his patients, and was respected by his coworkers. He married the former Rose M. Sulkosky in 1960. They moved to Riverton, Wyo., in 1975, and John worked on the Arapahoe Indian Reservation in central Wyoming for three years.

Throughout his life, John found relaxation and relief from his busy practice by engaging in fishing, sailing, and reading. He dearly loved Lake Champlain and asked that his ashes be placed there.

John is survived by his wife, brother Paul, sister Mary Darragh Lalich, and four children, Harry, Mariko Darrah Fine-Lease, Anthony, and Eve. We extend to John's family our deepest condolences.
