[Guest guest]

LA TIMES OBITUARY - Friday, June 2nd, 2006

 

Dr. Roger Cavanaugh Hirsh, 57, Doctor of Oriental

Medicine since 1977, passed away on May 17, 2006

surrounded by family and friends. Born August 31,

1948 to Dwight C. and Margo Hirsh in Los Angeles.

 

His specialization in reproductive care integrated

Eastern and Western medical traditions with great

success. He was highly esteemed by his peers in the

medical community for his expertise and loved by all

for his kindness and compassion. Roger’s genius was

his capacity for a deep and instantaneous rapport with

others that transcended all barriers. He was a

shining light in this world and those who were

privileged to know him will carry his legacy in their

hearts forever.

 

He is survived by wife of 26 years, Marcia, mother

Margo, brothers Dwight II and Cavan, stepson Jason,

niece Elizabeth, nephews Dwight III and Tim, their

children and many friends and colleagues. He was

predeceased by father, Dwight, brother, Harry and

stepson David.

 

A memorial will be held on Saturday, June 10 at 2pm at

the Iman Society, 3376 Motor Ave, Los Angeles 90034

I met Roger in 1998..

 

I am so sad over these past few weeks since I heard

that he passed away on Wednesday, May 17, 2006. He

had been on a vacation traveling for two weeks in

Egypt and contracted an infection in his leg. He was

taken to the hospital from the airport and died 9 days

later.

 

If we can do something for him, let his spirit never

die¡K.

Hi Christine,

I talked with Susan Minich about Roger.

His passing is way too soon. Very sad.

I enjoy my brief memories of Roger : very friendly, warm, curious and happy.

 

I wish that all his friends remember his spirit and cherish the time that

they spent with him.

God Bless you all,

Bill

He was one of those guys who had wrinkles at the top of his cheeks because

he smiled so much.

 

I shared a 13 week CEU with him and came to truly enjoy his down to earth

approach to therapeutics and his light hearted spirit. Good guy to be

around.

 

He will be missed.
