William H. Wallop ’47

William “Bunky” Wallop died of a brain tumor June 1, 2013, at his home in Annapolis, Md.

He joined our class in 1943 after graduation from Old Central High School in Washington, D.C. At Princeton, he was in the Navy V-12 program and completed his premed training with an associate’s degree in 1945. At the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, he was president of the Class of 1949, and then interned at Philadelphia General Hospital.

During the Korean War, Bunky served in Japan for three years with the Air Force Medical Corps, returning to civilian life with the rank of captain. He next served as chief surgeon on the U.S. liner SS America before starting his residency as a radiologist. He served as radiologist at Anne Arundel (Md.) General Hospital until 1995.

In addition to his favorite sports of tennis and swimming, Bunky won a number of trophies sailing his Alberg 30 on Chesapeake Bay, and was a member of the Annapolis Yacht Club. He is survived by his wife, Rosemary; children Janice, John, Judith, and Alison; and 16 grandchildren. The class sends its condolences to his family in memory of one of our outstanding doctors.
