John M. Eisenberg ’68

John died on Mar. 10, 2002, at his home in Potomac, Md., from brain cancer.

Born in Atlanta, John came to Princeton from White Station HS in Memphis. At Princeton he majored in history and was president of the Orange Key Society and vice president of Quad, where he lived his senior year with Mick Maier and Wayne Glass.

After graduation he got his MD from Washington U. in 1972, then his MBA at Wharton in 1976. At the time of his death, John was director of the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services. John earned more awards and honors than there is room to list. Shortly before his death, he was honored by the House Energy and Commerce Sub-Committee. Sen. Bill Frist '74 eulogized him in the Mar. 15 Congressional Record. John often said that his proudest accomplishment was his family, which included colleagues, students, and mentors.

He is survived by his wife of 32 years, D.D., his mother, Roslyn Karesh, sons William R. and Michael R., and brothers Richard, William, and Jeff. To all of them, the class extends its profound sympathies.
