Philip Nordin 1922-2005 |
My father, who I loved and admired greatly, passed away Aug. 22nd. |
In the obituary I wrote: Philip is remembered by his family as a gentle, kind person who lived simply, always put others first, and thought the best of everyone. A teacher by vocation, he taught by example in the family, instructing his children in integrity, decency, modesty and honor by how he conducted his own life. He dealt with the trials of this world with quiet good humor and was an unfailing support to his wife and children in times of difficulty. To this I would add that he exemplified all it means to be a scientist; to be committed to the search for the truth and open to truth found by others. He was dedicated to being a professor of Biochemistry at Kansas State. Dad at graduation, ca. 1947. Funeral home link with full obituary. See the page on Mom.
