Paul Victor Strumia ’49

Body

Paul died July 4, 1994, at Bryn Mawr Hospital after a brief illness and complications from a brain tumor.

He was born Feb. 29, 1928, in Philadelphia and prepared at the Haverford School, where he was a member of the science and French clubs. At Princeton he majored in biology, graduating cum laude. Following Princeton he completed 10 years of medical training, including the U. of Pennsylvania Medical School, internship, and residency in pathology, and spent 19 months in the Army Medical Corps.

In 1959, Paul took the post of assistant pathologist at the laboratory of clinical pathology at the Bryn Mawr Hospital, where his father had also practiced. He remained a physician at that hospital throughout his impressive career and made his home in Gladwyne, Pa.

At his death Paul was survived by Lucetta, his wife of over 30 years, two sons, Max and Francis, and a daughter, Paula. To each of them our class extends its profound sympathy at the loss of a most dedicated, caring man.
