We are saddened to report the passing of Society Fellows:

Hueston C. King "Hugh", MD, of Venice, Florida, passed away at home on November 29, 2013.  Hugh attended Princeton University and Columbia Medical School.  After serving in the U.S. Army and acting as team doctor for West Point Military Academy, Hugh moved his family to Miami, Florida, determined never to shovel snow again.  Hugh enjoyed a twenty year medical practice in Miami.  He and his wife moved to Venice in 1982, where Hugh continued a fulfilling ENT/Allergy practice until he retired.  In addition to being a Fellow of the Triological Society, Hugh was a past president of the American Academy of Otolaryngic Allergy and taught multiple courses around the world.  Hugh was also a much respected medical author on the practice of allergy, having his books translated into several languages.

John A.T. Ross, MD, passed away January 30, 2014.

Robert J. Toohill, MD FACS Dr. Toohill's obituary can be found here.   (The following was prepared by Bruce H. Campbell, MD)  Bob was born on June 7, 1935 in Wapella, Illinois. He attended St. Bede Junior College and St. Ambrose College before graduation from Marquette University School of Medicine in 1960. He completed his otolaryngology residency at the University of Illinois where he worked with mentors Francis Lederer, Paul Hollinger, Richard Buckingham, and Burton Soboroff. He served in the US Navy and was stationed in Chelsea, Massachusetts where he had the opportunity to work with William Montgomery, MD and M. Stuart Strong, MD. He returned to Milwaukee where he opened a solo practice on Oklahoma Avenue working primarily at St. Luke's Hospital. He staffed the residents at the Milwaukee County Hospital and the Wood VA Hospital finally moving to a full-time position at MCW in 1978. He became Division Chief of Otolaryngology in the Department of Surgery in 1986. He stepped down as Division Chief in 1998 but continued on, pursuing his interests in rhinology and reflux. Despite attempting to retire in 2000, he remained a welcome and active participant in the Department of Otolaryngology until his recent illness. Bob was a role model, encouraging each of us to be our best and to always keep our patients' best interests foremost. Clinically, he left his mark by building a thriving department, training more than 100 otolaryngology residents, collaborating on ground-breaking research, providing outstanding patient care, volunteering in the community, and interacting with otolaryngologists around the world. On a personal level, he was steadfastly honest. He questioned everything. He worked and played hard. He made the world a better place.
