Dr. Eugene IMBROGNO

1954 - 2016

IMBROGNO, Dr. Eugene "Dean" Age of 62, died on September 8th, 2016. Since 1985, Dr. Imbrogno has been the Medical Director and Head Physician for MedWork Occupational Health Care. The son of Italian immigrant Edward Imbrogno and Esther Bizcykowski, Dean was born February 1, 1954 in Lorain, OH. In high school he wrestled and played football as a running back. Classmates looked up to him and to this day remember him as intelligent, athletic, mature, and most importantly humble. He then attended The Ohio State University, graduating with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and went on to medical school at Wright State University. There he completed his residency in Emergency Medicine. Cultivating an insatiable curiosity and a lifelong passion for learning, he excelled in his undergraduate studies at OSU. While working in the emergency department at Miami Valley Hospital, Dr. Imbrogno was first introduced to Occupational Medicine, which would become his hallmark career. He then received further training in Occupational Medicine at the University of Cincinnati and also completed a Masters of Public Health from the University of Michigan. At Wright State he met the love of his life and future wife, a fellow med student, Diane Marie Foley (retired Anesthesiologist at Kettering Hospital). They affirmed their lifelong dedication to each other through marriage on September 6, 1980. They would go on to raise three boys, Brian (radiologist, Columbus), Tyler (musician, Denver) and David (engineer, Dayton). His favorite pastimes included golfing, boating, reading, watching movies, family holidays, and travelling, and he was equally at home with a hot dog at the ballpark or a glass of scotch and a cigar on the deck of his Norris Lake house. To his family, friends, and everyone who knew him, Dean was a rock and an anchor. People came to him for advice, and he could always calmly and confidently offer sound guidance. He also approached every aspect of life with an open mind and heart. He found stability in tradition and family values but always strived to understand different perspectives, worldviews, and alternative ideas about medicine and spirituality. He was loved and respected by everyone who knew him, and will be sorely missed. Dean was preceded in death by his father Edward. He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Diane; children, Brian Imbrogno, MD, Tyler Imbrogno, David Imbrogno; mother, Esther Imbrogno; sister, Dianne DeHayes; brothers, Daniel (Karrie) and Edward (Terri) Imbrogno; sisters-in-law, Helen (Jeff) Owen and Carol Foley; brother-in-law, Shawn Foley; and many other nieces, nephews family members and friends. Family will greet friends from 5:00pm-9:00pm on Friday, September 16, 2016 at Routsong Funeral Home, 2100 E. Stroop Rd., Kettering, OH. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00am on Saturday, September 17, 2016 at St. Henry's Catholic Church, 6696 Springboro Pike, Dayton, OH. Burial will follow at David's Cemetery.
