John Watkins Eiman ’43

Body

Jack died July 12, 2002, following a long illness. He was 80.

A native of Bala Cynwyd, Pa., he prepped at the Haverford School. After Princeton, Jack received a medical degree from Penn. From 1945-48 he was a Navy medical officer. He interned at Philadelphia's Graduate Hospital, then completed his residency program in pathology at the U. of Penn hospital and Abington Memorial Hospital. For 30 years, from 1954 until he retired in 1984, he served as chief of pathology at Abington.

Jack enjoyed golf, photography, travel, sailing, and skiing. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, the former Daisy Biddle, sons Thomas and Jack, daughter Paula, and two grandchildren. To the entire family we offer our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
