Lloyd Emmerich Rosenbaum ’32

Body

WE HAVE ONLY recently learned of the death of Lloyd "Rosy" Rosenbaum, who succumbed to heart failure Mar. 27, 1990, in Anderson, Ind.

Rosy came to us from Lake Forest Academy. He was a fine athlete and quickly established himself as one of the best basketball players in the University. He captained the team in his senior year. He went on to study medicine at Washington U. in St. Louis, and entered practice as an internist and cardiologist in Anderson, working on the staffs of two hospitals, St. Joseph's Memorial and Community Hospital. He was the kind of doctor that every community dreams of having. Fifty years later he was still on the job, widely known for his total devotion to his work. That same year tile two hospitals honored him for his long and distinguished service. He retired the following year.

Rosy played a little basketball after college, and, fine athlete that he was, some golf and tennis in his spare time. Other than that, medicine occupied his life. He married Doris in 1940. She bore him one son, Robert, who, in turn, became a physician, married a physician , and produced two children of his own. All survive him. We send them our sympathy in the loss of this unusually dedicated and principled man.
