Dr. Thomas Glenn Stinchcomb passed away on Sunday April 10, 2016 after a brief illness. He was born September 12, 1922 in Tiffin, Ohio, the son of George and Ruth (Brand) Stinchcomb. After graduating from Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Tom was commissioned in the US Naval Reserve at Annapolis, received the Admiral's Award for class academic achievement and served as radar officer on the USS Mississippi during WWII. In 1945, Tom married Maxine Orr Kohler. The same year, he began graduate studies in physics at the University of Chicago (UC), specializing in high altitude radiation physics. His early career of research and teaching included Washington State University, Heidelberg College, and the Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute. In 1968 Tom joined the physics faculty at DePaul University as chairman, and in 1976, his research took a new direction during a year as a visiting professor at UC, where he began focusing on radiation therapy in medicine. In the following years he continued as UC visiting research associate while teaching medical physics at DePaul and serving as primary thesis advisor for many students before retiring as professor emeritus in 1991. Tom enjoyed many service and personal activities, including the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, volunteering with the Senior Health Insurance Program of Illinois, playing bridge with friends and playing flute in several community bands and orchestras. Tom was a keen observer of the world around him and enjoyed sharing his observations regarding nature, the great outdoors, politics, world events, baseball and basketball. He was a teacher, role-model and mentor to many; with a heartfelt "thank you," a smile, and a great sense of humor he was an inspiration to all. Tom was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was preceded in death by his wife Maxine, his second wife Joan Garrison, and his sister, the Rev. Dorothy Boroush. Tom and Maxine are survived by their four sons and families: James and wife Louise, William, David and wife Joan, and Dan and wife Judith, grandchildren Margaret, Katherine, Andrew, Anna, Megan, Devin, and Taylor, and great-grandchildren Catherine and Bodhi. A Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, April 21 at 2 PM at The Admiral at the Lake, 929 W. Foster Ave., Chicago.
