RICHARD FURLAUD Obituary
The Boards of Overseers and Managers and the staff of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) note with sorrow the death of Richard Furlaud, who served with great distinction as a member of our Boards for 21 years. He also served on the Scientific Policy and Institutional Policy Committees, where his vast expertise and leadership skills helped guide the institution toward its rigorous standards in patient care and science. Upon his retirement in 1996, he took Emeritus status. A steadfast supporter of biomedical research and the promise it holds for improving cancer care, Dick's contributions to this institution and the scientific community at large were far reaching and long lasting. We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Isabel, his three children, and seven grandchildren. Craig B. Thompson MD, President and CEO Douglas A. Warner III, Chairman on behalf of the Boards of Overseers and Managers Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
