Marvin Footle was a very dear patient of mine in the late 1970’s, the 1980’s, and the 1990’s. Despite his having years of easily-provoked exertional angina pectoris, he bravely “weathered the storms” to hand-deliver mail to Evanston residents who lived in the postal ZIP code famous for receiving the largest annual per-capita mail in the United States. Even the dreadful snows and never-ending freezes of the winter of 1979 could not stop Marvin Footle! His keen wit and solid common sense made him a favorite with me and with all the patients who sat for hours with him in my waiting room. Marvin’s wife, Muriel, was also a gem, as was his delightful sister, Flora Footle, my patient with unrivaled wisdom.
Despite the clinical onset of coronary artery disease in his early 40’s, Marvin Footle was able to navigate the challenges of life for an additional 50 years! Marvin Footle was truly one-of-a-kind!
With love and condolences to Marvin’s family,
