Long time department member passes away at age 87

It is with sadness that we mark the passing of Dr. Kennedy Gilchrist on June 22, 2025 at the age of 87 (Kennedy Gilchrist Obituary). Dr. Gilchrist served as a surgical pathologist and accomplished academician for 30 years in the department, retiring to Emeritus status in 2003. For many years, Kennedy served with a small group of pathologists including Reza Hafez, Tom Warner, and Enid Gilbert-Barness as our entire surgical pathology section, a chapter that comes to a close with Kennedy’s passing.
