Dr. Charles Colcock Jones Carpenter, Jr. - January 5, 1931 - March 19, 2020 
Dr. Carpenter, a pioneering medical researcher, is remembered as a mentor to many doctors, an innovator in cholera and HIV/AIDS treatment, and a big-hearted family man. Carpenter was especially passionate about ensuring the fair treatment of all people, especially those unfairly disadvantaged by societal forces.
Chuck to his friends, Carpenter was born January 5, 1931, in Savannah, Georgia, where his ancestors had fought in the American Revolution and the Civil War. When he was 5, his family moved to Birmingham, where his father and namesake served as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama.
After attending public schools in Birmingham, Dr. Carpenter went to Lawrenceville Academy, where he graduated as salutatorian. For college, he traveled up the road to Princeton University, where he majored in English Literature and wrote his thesis on the poetry of Yeats.
Carpenter attended medical school at Johns Hopkins. He was chief resident there when he met Sally Fisher, whose father, Dr. A. Murray Fisher, was known for his research on penicillin. They were married near Baltimore in 1958, and Sally often quipped that he married her because he was so impressed by her father’s research.
During a stint of research at NIH in Bethesda, the couple bore Charles, the first of three sons. Eighteen months later their second child, Murray, had come along. With two children under three years old, the family decamped for Calcutta, India which was in the midst of a cholera epidemic.
Carpenter’s lab studied cholera, and his team of researchers was instrumental in contributing to the development of oral rehydration therapy (ORT), a simple treatment that has saved millions of lives worldwide and that is still the treatment of choice today.
Returning to Baltimore after two years in India, the Carpenters had their third son, Andrew. Carpenter soon became a tenured professor at Hopkins, and Physician in Chief at Baltimore City Hospitals, while continuing his cholera research.
In 1973, he became Chief of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University Hospitals in Cleveland. At CWRU, one of his innovations was to develop the nation’s first division of geographic medicine. His work took him to two dozen countries.
Carpenter moved to the Brown University Department of Medicine in 1986, where he was a professor of medicine, and Physician in Chief at The Miriam Hospital. In Rhode Island, Carpenter became focused on the care and treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS. He served as the director of the Brown University International Health Institute, and the director of The Lifespan/Tufts/Brown Center for AIDS Research (CFAR).
Carpenter was among the first to recognize the extent of heterosexual transmission in AIDS worldwide, and this led to his pioneering work on HIV in women. In the 1980s, he started a program to care for Rhode Island state prisoners with HIV, a move that inspired some younger physicians to look at the larger issues of caring for people caught up in mass incarceration.
He also worked with colleagues in India and the Philippines to reduce the spread of HIV. For the National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine, he chaired a treatment subcommittee to evaluate the President’s Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Research, which took him to several countries in Africa.
Carpenter retired in 2015 at the age of 84. He and Sally then moved to Falmouth, Maine, to be closer to their children.
Throughout his career, Carpenter was known for his gentle bedside manner, and compassionate treatment of all patients. He was driven by the conviction that all patients deserve equal treatment, regardless of race, social status, gender, or sexual orientation. And he is remembered for collaborations with overseas colleagues, especially in Bangladesh, India, Japan, and Ghana.
Carpenter was a member of the National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine, where he served on committees studying smallpox, and malaria. He also served as President of the Association of American Physicians, and Chairman of the American Board of Internal Medicine, and was co-editor of seven editions of Cecil Essentials of Internal Medicine
In 1998, he received the Order of the Sacred Treasure from the Emperor of Japan for his contributions to the U.S.-Japan Cooperative Medical Science Program. In 2007, he received the Robert H. Williams, MD, Distinguished Chair of Medicine Award from the Association of Professors of Medicine awarded to a physician who has demonstrated outstanding leadership as the chair of a department of medicine.
Still, his children and grandchildren say he always had time for them. Sometimes this meant fishing with worms and bobbers from a rented rowboat, other times it meant an evening jog, a few sets of tennis, or a weekend pedal on his beloved East Bay Bike Path.
Dr. Carpenter died peacefully at home on March 19, with his wife and sons by his side. He is survived by Sally, his wife of 61 years; his brother, the Reverend Douglas Morrison Carpenter, of Birmingham, Alabama; sisters Ruth Pitts, of Mountain Brook, Alabama, and Alex Cole of Short Hills, New Jersey; sons Charles, of Portland, Maine, Murray and Andrew, both of Belfast, Maine; and seven grandchildren. They suggest donations in his memory to the Immunology Center Patient Assistance Fund at The Miriam Hospital, or the Southern Poverty Law Center. A memorial service will be held later, when public gatherings are more prudent.
MARSHALL PETER KEATING - December 27, 1929 - February 29, 2020 
Past Treasurer of the Maritime Law Assoc., Marshall died February 29th, 2020 after a brief illness. He was born in New York City on December 27, 1929 the son of Elizabeth Kirlin and Cletus Keating and remained in the City throughout his lifetime. He attended Deerfield Academy, Princeton University and Columbia Law School. He was active as an officer and member in a number of professional, business, charitable and social associations. His beloved wives Barbara Hasler Keating and Pegeen Eustis Keating predeceased him as did his dear and loving friend Judith H Harper, his sister Anne K. Jones and his brothers Cletus Keating, Jr. and Fr. Thomas Keating. He leaves surviving his daughters Elizabeth K. McCaslin, Susan J. Keating, and Mary A.

MALCOLM WILSON PAYNE September 28, 1930-February 10, 2020 
Born on September 28, 1930 in Cleethorpes, England to Kate Gertrude and George Henry (GH) Payne, he died in his 90th year on February 10, 2020 in Bracebridge, Ontario after a short and courageous fight with cancer. Malcolm is survived by Joyce, his wife of 32 years, his ex-wife Daphne, and his sister Clare (Steve), and is pre-deceased by his sister Cynthia. He was a loving father to his children Neil (Mary), Jan (Peter), Gill (Ken), and Hugh (Tina), his step-children Janie, Lucy (Brad), Brenda (Ralph) and Andrew, and his grand-children Andrée, Alex, Simon, Benjamin, Samuel, Cameron, Tara, Haylie, Scott, David, Adam, and Fenn.
Malcolm spent his early years in England, attending Nevill Holt and Oundle schools, before moving to USA at age 18 to work and then attend Princeton University in New Jersey, where he majored in philosophy. He graduated in 1952 and moved to Ontario where he met and married Daphne and raised their children between a home in Toronto, a weekend cabin in Claremont and summertime cottages in Muskoka. He established himself as an investment portfolio manager, later specializing in precious metals and mining. In 1980 together with Don Foyston and Peter Gordon, he established Foyston, Gordon & Payne Investment Counsel. He was active as a board member of PSI for over 10 years. In 1987, he married Joyce Archdekin and in 1989, he and Joyce retired to Port Carling, Ontario. In his retirement, he partnered with Joyce to take up exploring the Muskoka lakes on his Nonsuch sailboat “Muskokat”, got serious about landscape photography, travelled the world, and became a model train enthusiast, as well as continuing his love of music, golf, gardening and bridge. In 2016, they decided to downsize and moved to their home in Bracebridge.
Malcolm had many hobbies but his love of golf and music were consistent throughout his life. He was a member of York Downs, Muskoka Lakes and Pinehurst Golf Clubs, all contributing to his 3 lifetime holes-in-one. His love of music ran the gamut from Burl Ives and Tom Lehrer to traditional Hawaiian songs, classical and opera. Whether he was playing the piano, guitar, or ukulele, he was an entertainer who loved to sing at any opportunity.
Malcolm will be fondly remembered for his focused wit and intelligence, as a proud, pragmatic, and tenacious leader, and a loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed.
Thanks to the caring staff at South Muskoka Memorial Hospital in Bracebridge, and to the many community health-care professionals who provided in-home support. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to South Muskoka Memorial Hospital Foundation https://www.healthmuskoka.ca/ or a charity of your choice.
Visitation will be held on Friday February 14, 6-8 p.m., at Reynolds Funeral Home, 1 Mary St, Bracebridge. Funeral will take place on Saturday February 15, 1:30 p.m., at St. Thomas’ Anglican Church, 4 Mary St, Bracebridge
JOHN NORTON WINTON September 30, 1930-January 30, 2020
John Norton Winton Jr. died peacefully at home in Seattle on January 30, 2020.
John was born on September 20, 1930 in Minneapolis, MN to John Norton and Janette Maine. He attended Phillips Andover Academy and went on to graduate from Princeton University in 1952 with a degree in History. After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean War, John received an MBA from Stanford Business School in 1956.
John worked for executive consulting firms in New York and San Francisco in the 1960s. In 1962, John moved to the Pacific Northwest and lived in Bellevue with his wife Mary Haynes for over thirty years until her death in 1995. Together with their two children, they enjoyed a family life that included hiking and fishing in the mountains of the Northwest as well as golf, scuba, sailing and international travel.
In 1972, John opened his own executive search firm in Seattle, Winton Huntington Associates, serving industrial, retail,
financial, and artistic institutions in the Pacific Northwest. After retiring in 1989, John attended the School of Marine Affairs at the University of Washington, where he received a master's degree and co-authored a number of articles on fisheries management.
John married Jennifer Potter in 1996, and together they traveled the world, visiting countries on all seven continents, often with family and friends. Friends eagerly awaited their annual holiday card to see to which exotic places their adventures had taken them. John often accompanied Jennifer on her many work trips to Africa, where they were stunned and deeply moved by the contrasts between the beauty of the landscapes and the poverty of the people.
John was a lifelong, passionate and very skilled fly fisherman, wading and floating the waters of all the major rivers and streams in the Northwest, particularly Montana and Idaho. In his 80's, he went on a family float trip down the middle fork of the Salmon River in Idaho, where his only complaint was that there wasn't enough time to fish! He took up tennis late in life, playing weekly, and keeping fit through almost daily visits to his favorite YMCA gym.
John and Jennifer had a wide and close circle of friends with whom they enjoyed a rich and full social life. Their home was constantly filled with laughter, discussions on topics of all stripes, vigorous political debate, raucous games of charades, good food and wine, and much revelry.
John held himself with the bearing of the Marine he was, shoulders squared. But he was not rigid, either in posture or behavior. John had his own ideas but was equally interested in the ideas of others; he asked good questions and he listened. He read extensively and kept current on world affairs, politics, and economic trends. His warmth, positive energy and generosity brought joy to his family and friends as well as the larger community.
John and Jennifer supported a number of organizations in the arts and higher education and several nonprofit organizations focused on global poverty reduction, micro-credit for poor women, and land rights for small farmers all over the world.
In addition to his wife Jennifer, John is survived by his daughter Kate and her husband John Baldwin of Seattle; son Graham and his wife Lisa LaRochelle of Irvington, NY, and four grandchildren: Erin and Kelsey Burns and Sam and Emmett Winton. John and Jennifer enjoyed their blended family and brought all their children and grandchildren together often. To the end, John remained close to Jennifer's family as well, including her sons, Adam Silver of Los Angeles, Ben and Karen Silver of Seattle, and her daughter Eve Wright of Seattle. John is also survived by his brothers, Jim Winton of Seattle and Bill Winton of Portland and other loving family members.
John expressed the wish that any contributions in his memory be made to the William D. Ruckelshaus Center (https://foundation.wsu.edu/give/) or to the Falk School of Sustainability and Environment at Chatham University in Pittsburgh (https://www.chatham.edu/give/)
