JOHN CODEY Obituary
The Salk Institute for Biological Studies honors the memory of our friend John Codey, whose vision as a tireless supporter of science was transformative for many fields of biomedical research. As a Trustee of the Helmsley Charitable Trust, Mr. Codey was central to the founding of the Helmsley Center for Genomic Medicine at the Salk Institute. Since its founding, the Center has produced groundbreaking discoveries in cancer, diabetes and mental disorders, offering new hope for conquering these diseases. Mr. Codey's support of the Salk Institute was just one of many examples of how he worked for the betterment of humanity. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will carry long into the future. On behalf of Irwin M. Jacobs, Chairman of the Salk Board of Trustees, the entire Salk Board of Trustees, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn, President of the Salk Institute, the senior leadership and the faculty and staff of the Salk community, we express our deepest sympathy for Mr. Cody's family.

My late wife, Ernestine Mitchell Bugbee was a friend of John's when we were all young college graduates trying to negotiate New York City. In fact John helped us to find our first apartment in the city and I remember him refusing to rent one apartment to us because it was too small and John diidn't think a young marriage could survive it. A sweet memory of a long time ago and I was terribly sorry to hear of your loss.
