DR. PAUL MECRAY, JR.

Dr. Paul Mecray, Jr., 102, founder of Virtua Surgical Group and the former Chief of Surgery at Cooper University Hospital, died peacefully on Sept. 1, 2010 at Medford Leas.

Born in Camden, Dr. Mecray graduated from The William Penn Charter School, Princeton University, and University ofPennsylvania Medical School before becoming the first assistant to Doctors Charles and Will Mayo at their Mayo Clinic in RochesterMN. He subsequently joined his father’s surgical practice at Cooper University Hospital but, upon the start of World War II, Penn’s doctors formed the 20th General Hospital which served three years in India and Burma. While caring for combat casualties, Dr. Mecray won numerous awards for intelligence gathered from saving the lives of Japanese prisoners. Their devotion to his kindness led these prisoners to design airborne leaflets that produced significant surrenders despite their indoctrination that this would be unacceptable cowardice.

After the war, Dr. and Mrs. Mecray settled in Haddonfield where they lived for forty years while he assumed his father’s previous position as Chief of Surgery at Cooper Hospital. Subsequently he founded a partnership that is now the Virtua Surgical Group. He also served as President of the New Jersey Psychiatric Hospital in Trenton and later founded the New Jersey Chapter of TheAmerican College of Surgeons. While best known for life saving surgical procedures, he is remembered by thousands of less fortunate citizens who, prior to the days of Medicare or comprehensive medical insurance, received totally free surgical care.

Dr. Mecray’s wife of 71 years, Justine, passed away in 2007. He is survived by his daughter, Justine M. Opel of Albuquerque NMand son Paul M. Mecray, III of Bryn Mawr PA. A memorial service will be held at Medford Leas on Saturday, Oct. 16th, at 2:30 PM.

There are truly wonderful people in the world. Norman T. Gates was one of the truly wonderful people. Norman Timmins Gates inspired everyone who knew him. He was born in October, 1914 and died in April, 2010. He grew up on a working farm south of Reading, Pennsylvania. His father was a businessman, a candy-maker. After graduating from Wyomissing High School in 1931, Norman enjoyed one year at Dickinson College before beginning work in one of his father's candy stores.

In April, 1933, Norman married Gertrude Morre. Their marriage lasted sixty-six years until Gertrude's death in March, 1999, and produced three children, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Norman had three fifteen year long careers. First he worked for a paper products company in Philadelphia. At thirty-six in 1950 he began the N.T. Gates Company which specialized in packaging materials. After finding fifteen years of success in his own business, Norman earned his doctorate in English from the University of Pennsylvania and began his third career of teaching English at Rider College in Trenton, New Jersey.

While teaching Norman published several books of scholarship and was awarded the Lindback Prize for distinguished teaching.

After his retirement, Norman continued his poetry writing, four books, and completed much scholarly work for The New Canterbury Literary Society.

Norman was a man of love. In his poems he told us "the secret whisperings of my heart." He told us about "this love that/ Alone can light the way to darkness." and encouraged us, "Come, calls fall, dreams renew all."

Norman died in his sleep. He lived an active, independent, loving lifetime. We follow his steps with the love and happiness he taught us.

Bill was also President of the Sales and Marketing Executive Association of South Jersey and President of the Cosmopolitan Club of the Delaware Valley.

Furthering his commitment to the fields of Medicine and Science, in 1990 Bill was invited to manage the endowment fund of the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine (PCPM). He was later asked to serve on its Board of Trustees and eventually served as Chairman of the Board from 1992-1997.

Her children and grand-children that she had loved and had done everything for through the years, dedicated themselves to her care. It was a long and arduous journey, with many beautiful memories along with the sad ones. She will always be remembered as a lovely lady, with a kind and generous nature, who had an enormous love for her town of Haddonfield and her family. She adored her children, and lovingly welcomed grand-children and then great grand-children. She always had an endless supply of hugs and kisses. She was still kissing us up to the end.
