John R. Reynolds ’44

Jack Reynolds died Feb. 18, 2013, at home in Ashland, Ore.

At Princeton he majored in biology, participated in track and band, joined Elm Club, and roomed with Bill Spire.

Jack graduated from Princeton in 1943 and then attended Jefferson Medical College in the Navy V-12 medical program, earning his medical degree in 1947. In the Navy Reserve for 32 years, he was recalled to serve in Greenland as a lieutenant on an icebreaker.

He married Hanna Van Dyke in December 1945 and they moved to The Dalles, Ore., and then to Ashland, where he was a staff physician at Southern Oregon College and helped to start the town’s first ambulance service. Following 32 years with a private internal-medicine practice, he retired in 1990, devoting more time to nature, especially birding and ranching.

After Jack and Hanna divorced in 1971, Jack brought his five daughters to a marriage with Betty Jo Kell Soderberg and her three children, and together they had a son.

He is survived by Betty Jo; his five daughters; his son; three stepchildren; 14 grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
