Dr. Wilfred Walter Hathway November 5, 1932 March 14, 2012 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Wilfred Walter Hathway on Wednesday March 14, 2012. Wilf was born in Ogema, SK on November 5, 1932 to Wilfred Norman and Thelma Upton Hathway. He took most of his schooling in Saskatoon, attending Buena Vista and Thornton schools in his elementary years, and graduating from Nutana Collegiate in 1951. Wilf was very active in sports, playing softball, baseball, hockey (Jr. Wesleys) and football (Hilltops ’50 and ’51). After receiving his BA and commencing studies in Medicine at the U of S, he married his high school sweetheart, June Fraser, in 1955. In 1957 he finished as a member of the first class of physicians to graduate from the U of S Medical College, interning at University Hospital for one year then moving his young family to Duncan, BC. In 1959, they returned to Saskatoon with Wilf taking over Dr. A.L. Caldwell’s practice in the Canada Building. He then joined practice with classmates E.H. Baergen, and R.R. Wheaton at the Medical Arts Building, and later with N.W.Kavanagh and T.T.Treen. Having been in practice for forty years as a Saskatoon family physician, Wilf retired in 1998. He and June spent time with their family and travelled until June lost her battle with cancer on May 27, 2001. He continued on with his golfing, travelling, and swimming with grandchildren around the pool and at the lake. His long time hobby of oil painting produced an estimated 500 scenes that captured the essence of the prairies, both Canadian coasts, and Portugal. He had numerous art showings in different Saskatoon galleries over the years, and today many of his paintings hang in Saskatoon hospitals, public schools and private collections. Wilf was predeceased by his father in 1942, at the age of ten, when the SS Caribou sank in the Cabot Straits, his mother in 1959 in Saskatoon, and by June Frances Rae (Fraser) his loving wife of 46 years. He is survived by four children, Jamie (Bob) Veitch, Gordon Hathway, Karen (Angus) Kirby, and Alison (Pat) Byrns and their families. He is also survived by two sisters, Margaret (Jim) Finnie and Shirley Hathway; sister-in-law Heather Farnell; as well as many nieces and nephews. A special thank you to the staff at Prairie Springs Care Home for the excellent care provided during his last six weeks. Cremation has taken place and there will not be a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. Condolences may be sent to mail@saskatoonfuneralhome.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to Saskatoon Funeral Home.

Dear College of Medicine Alumni, Faculty and Staff:

This is to invite all College of Medicine alumni, faculty, staff, residents and medical students to make nominations for the Sydney Inskip Service Award. This award is to honor Ms. Sydney Inskip who joined the College in 1944 as the Dean’s Assistant and served in this role for thirty-two years. Ms. Inskip is fondly remembered for her warmth and concern for students and her tireless work ethic during the formative years of the College.

This award recognizes non-academic staff members who have enhanced the work environment by providing extraordinary service to the College of Medicine community, who have inspired, supported and respected the endeavours of others, and have achieved this distinction through dedication and commitment.

Please see the attached poster and nomination form and I would encourage everyone to seriously consider nominating one of the many deserving non-academic staff members of the College. The deadline for nominations is May 15, 2012.

A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,100 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.
