It is with sadness that we have to tell you that Eugene Veyda, a venerated member of the academy, died on December 14, 2024. He was 99 years old. It was always a pleasure to meet Gene and his wife Elaine at academy events. His thoughtful and humane ideas were an asset to Academy workshops. Gene had trained as a medical doctor at Case Western Reserve University. He was a good friend of the late Sandy Macpherson, also a medical doctor and Academy member. They were both part of the founding of the McMaster Medical School. Gene later became the Dean of Community Medicine at the University of Toronto.

VAYDA, Eugene
