N. Henry Moss ’46

HENRY DIED suddenly Feb. 26, 1991.

Henry came to us from Philadelphia Central High School, graduated and received his M.D. from U.Penn. in 1948. He became a captain in the U.S. Air Force, serving in Fairbanks, Alaska, as chief of surgery at Ladd A.F.B.

A practicing surgeon for more than 40 years, Henry was associate clinical professor of surgery and attending surgeon at Albert Einstein Medical Center and Temple Univ. Health Services Center. Additionally, he was attending surgeon at West Park Hospital and Rolling Hills Hospital.

During his career Henry developed interests in the fields of cancer, metabolic response to surgery and trauma, nutrition, and convalescence. He was the author of over 50 professional articles and monographs.

Henry was president and cofounder of the Academy of Sciences at Philadelphia and cochairman of the recent Conference on Global Interdependence on Science, Medicine, and Technology in an Era of Cooperation and Competition. He was a fellow of the World Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a board member of the Philadelphia division of the American Cancer Society. Henry was a member of numerous professional and scientific organizations, including the Philadelphia Medical Society, the Philadelphia County Medical Society, and the American College of Surgeons.

Henry was a dedicated leader in the community and a kindly, caring human being. He was the number one fan and supporter of his wife Helen Kardon Moss, who, as Helen Kardon, is a distinguished opera singer. They had separate careers but walked hand in hand through life. Both returned to Princeton often, and Henry's love for his Class was an important part of his life. To Helen; their daughter Cathy, Dee Moss; sons, Bruce and Brian Kardon; and brother, Victor H. Moss, we extend our heartfelt sympathy and in our own way share his loss.
