In Remembrance

Charles E. Gray

Charles E. Gray, LW ’47, a St. Louis civil trial lawyer, died Oct. 8, 2011.

Before attending Washington University, Gray was a captain in the U.S. Army during World War II. While a law student, he tried a jury case and argued an appeal in front of the Missouri Supreme Court, something that was nearly unheard of at the time and not possible under current rules.

In 1946, Gray founded the St. Louis law firm now known as Gray, Ritter and Graham PC. He served in various roles, including as a member on the Missouri Supreme Court Rules Committee and the Appellate Judicial Commission.

Gray was an early advocate and benefactor of the Matthews-Dickey Boys’ and Girls’ Club.

J. Neal Middelkamp

J. Neal Middelkamp, MD ’48, professor emeritus of pediatrics, died Nov. 2, 2011.

In 1953, Middelkamp joined the School of Medicine and became a professor in 1970.

While in pediatrics, he was director of the department’s Division of Infectious Diseases and the Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics. He became professor emeritus in 1998.

Middelkamp also served in the School of Medicine’s Office of the Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education since 1997.

He received the School of Medicine’s Alumni Award in 1988 and its Distinguished Alumni Scholarship in 1993.

Middelkamp and his wife, Lois, established the J. Neal and Lois Middelkamp Visiting Professorship in Pediatrics.

Mary C. Molloy

Mary C. Molloy, longtime secretary and receptionist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science, died Sept. 3, 2011.

Molloy joined the department in 1981; at the age of 81, she was still working there full time.

Because of her exceptional service, the department nominated her in 2011 for the Gloria W. White Distinguished Service Award, established to recognize a non-academic staff member for his or her contributions to Washington University.

An accomplished pianist who took music classes at the university, Molloy was known as a “surrogate mom” to graduate students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science.

Joseph R. Passonneau

Joseph R. Passonneau, dean of the School of Architecture from 1956 to 1967, died Aug. 22, 2011.

Passonneau arrived at Washington University in 1955 as a part-time design critic and was appointed dean the following year. He was commissioned to design the university’s new engineering building, Hugo and Ina Champ Urbauer Hall, completed in 1959.

During his tenure as dean, Passonneau instituted the master of urban design degree.

In 1970, he launched Joseph R. Passonneau & Partners in Washington, D.C. Chief among the firm’s projects was the Glenwood Canyon stretch of Interstate 70 in Colorado, which received a Presidential Design Award in 2000.

Sara E. Stubblefield

Sara E. Stubblefield, MSW ’98, an advocate for the Epilepsy Foundation, died March 28, 2011.

Stubblefield dedicated her life to making a difference for better care and treatment for people living with epilepsy. She served as epilepsy services coordinator for the Epilepsy Foundation of Southern Illinois for 10 years.

She was participating in the Epilepsy Foundation of America’s annual Public Policy Institute in Washington, D.C., at the time of her death.

Her parents, Richard and Carolyn Stubblefield, established the Sara Elizabeth Stubblefield Foundation in her honor.

An endowment was established through the foundation to give a scholarship each year to a ­graduating high school senior who has epilepsy.

Joseph E. Vollmar Jr.

Joseph E. Vollmar Jr., BSCE ’41, BSCE ’53, a St. Louis businessman and civic leader, died Sept. 13, 2001.

Vollmar co-founded Vollmar Bros. Construction Co. in 1946, and he led the firm until 1982. The firm had a national reputation for engineering and construction of marine projects on the inland waterways.

He received a gold medal from the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Committee for his contribution to the Gateway Arch. Vollmar’s thesis on subsoil and bedrock elevations in St. Louis was used to help determine a suitable location for the foundation of the Arch.

Vollmar was past president of the St. Louis Engineers’ Club, the Missouri Athletic Club and the Museum of Transport.

At the time of his death, Vollmar held the distinction of being the longest-licensed ­engineer in Missouri.

Earl E. Walker

Earl E. Walker, a St. Louis businessman and philanthropist, died Aug. 26, 2011.

In 1952, Walker and his wife, Myrtle, founded Carr Lane Manufacturing Co., one of the world’s foremost suppliers of tooling components.

The couple generously supported Washington University. In 1998, they established the Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Professorship in the School of Engineering & Applied Science. They also established the Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Scholarship in the School of Art in 2001.

The Walkers received the Robert S. Brookings Award in 1999 for exemplifying the alliance between the university and its community. In 2002, Earl Walker received an honorary Doctor of Science degree.

Earl E. and Myrtle E. Walker Hall at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts is named in their honor.
