Bill and Margie Odell

Sorry to see this. Dr O'Dell was my mentor when I was an endocrine fellow at Harbor-UCLA medical center. He was everything you would want as a role model, physician, and scientist. I remember accompanying to SLC when he was being vetted to assume the Internal Medicine Department at the University of Utah Medical School. The highlight of that trip was a several day backpacking trip to the Uinta Mountains where I was was happy to teach him my old haunts and how to fish mountain trout (Royal...

With great sadness of the passing of Bill and Margie Odell. Bill Odell was my mentor and model of what I hoped to be in my own medical career. He was a brilliant physician and scientist and a leader in his chosen field of Endocrinology but of equal importance he was a kind and caring for all that worked for and with him. Bill's many trainees at Harbor-UCLA medical Center, University of Utah owe a world of thanks to all he taught us about sharing ideas and caring for patients. Many of us...

I was privileged and honored to know Bill Odell and Margie when I was an Endocrinology fellow and a PhD graduate student at UCLA Harbor General Hospital from 1974-1977 before joining the UCLA faculty in 1978. Bill was a role model of a physician scientist and research leader who maintained deep curiosity to uncover nature´s secrets. I remember his mentorship and the wonderful parties at their home in Palos Verdes and most of all Bill´s optimism. He will have a special place in my heart always.

What an amazing story--I'm not at all surprised they left this world just as they had lived: together. Tim, I owe you and your father the debt of gratitude that a student always feels to the teachers that have shaped them. I am fortunate to have learned from both of you, and can't express in words what you both have meant. Please know you and your family are--and will always be--in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for the delay, only just aware of Bill and Margie´s death. Very fond memories of their time in Auckland, New Zealand, where Bill´s exceptional teaching and clinical skills made him our best ever visiting Professor. RIP my good friends.

What an obituary. How lovely that they lived life so fully and passionately and died within a day of one another. I have been looking at the obituaries for 30 years and this is very lovely. I am truly sorry for your loss. May their memory be eternal.

Thinking of you and sending gentle thoughts.

Didn't know your parents or your family, but wow, lives so well lived! You must be very proud! So very sorry for your loss.

For Tim Odell...What amazing parents you had. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I remember so fondly all the years we worked together at Madsen.
