John Guillemont Obituary

Of Boston, July 29, 2008, at home. Survived by many fond cousins and dear friends. Boston was his adopted "hometown" and gave him many pleasures - long walks, great food, fine music. A patron of the arts, he was a regular at Symphony Hall, and he traveled extensively. A graduate of Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine, he enjoyed a long career in pathology and nuclear medicine. A memorial service will be held in September at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Niagara Falls, NY, (date and time to be announced.) Interment at Riverdale Cemetery, Lewiston, NY. Navy Veteran, Vietnam. Memorial contributions may be made to Shelter, Inc., 99 Bishop Allen Drive, Cambridge, MA 02319.

I worked with "Grant" Guillemont at Winchester Hospital. He had a tremendous sense of humor, and playfulness especially at the end of his career. He was a very dedicated pathologist, and for me, a good friend. I am glad he enjoyed almost ten years of retirement where he had the opportunity to travel. I will be telling stories of his crazy antics in the lab for many years to come!
