DR. REGIS MN PELLOUX

1931 - 2015

Pelloux, Dr. Regis MN 83, died at his home on Friday after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Dr. Pelloux, a resident of Winchester since 1968, was born in the Alps, France in 1931. After receiving an academic scholarship to E'cole Central in Paris, he came to the U.S. on a scholarship in 1955 to attend the doctoral program at MIT. After graduating with his doctorate in Material Science, he served three years in the French army, serving in Algeria and then in the Atomic Energy Lab outside of Paris. In 1961 he and his wife, Isabel, settled in Seattle where he joined the Boeing Scientific lab. In 1968 he accepted a position as a Professor at MIT and moved his family to settle in Winchester. Along with being a loving father to his two children he was revered by dozens of doctoral students who he treated as part of his family. Dr. Pelloux was an avid hiker and skier and over his lifetime took thousands of photographs rivaling anything from a National Geographic magazine. He and Isabel loved to travel and were fortunate enough to tour the world including Leningrad during the cold war, hiking in the mountains of Pakistan, visiting the pyramids of Egypt and walking the Great Wall of China. He is survived by his wife Isabel and their children Marc and Carolyn Pelloux of East Boston, MA as well as Babette and Ronda Pelloux of Seattle, WA. A garden celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, July 18th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at 823 Main Street in Winchester. A more formal event will take place at MIT later in the fall. As a tribute to Regis' memory, donations may be made to the MIT Dept. of Material Science. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www. CostelloFuneralHome.com
