Paul Kalman Orsay

was born September 18, 1934 to Frances Jane Josephine Thompson Orsay (Pritiken) and Elmer Paul Orsay in Chicago, IL. Paul died at home on May 25, 2018, while listening to classical music in the arms of his wife, Virginia Ives. He succumbed to pneumonia and Lewy Body Dementia before that disease diminished his personality. Paul received his BA (1956) and MD (1960) from the University of Chicago. He interned at University of Iowa Hospitals, served two years as a USAF Medical Officer, completed his radiology residency at Washington University in St. Louis. He was a wellrespected radiologist in St Louis for nearly 40 years, primarily at Christian Hospital NE & NW. Paul embraced his interests with enthusiasm. He enjoyed playing the flute, listening to classical music, history, reading, learning and discussing ideas. He was devoted to his wife Virginia and surprised himself by having great times on the many trips he accompanied her on. He was a kind and caring person with a fun sense of humor and normal human flaws, e.g., according to his mother, he didn't read enough fiction. Paul is survived by his wife, Virginia Ives, Tigard, Oregon; brother, Dr. Charles Orsay (Liz); sister, Pat Walcott; children: David Orsay (Ellis); Elizabeth Orsay (Mark Balazs); Thomas Orsay (Sonie); Sarah Orsay (Russell Montalbano); Eric Hadley-Ives (Jeri/Chun-chih); Jennell Ives (Jason Greenwood), and his former -wife Naomi Orsay. He leaves 17 grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchildren. Services: A celebration of Paul's life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday June 23, 2018, at Salem-in-Ladue, UMC, 1200 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St Louis, MO 63131. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Nature Conservancy or Planned Parenthood.
