Gaylord Knox

Dr. Gaylord S. Knox died January 19, 2009. He was 85 years old. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, Gaylord was the son of Reverend H. Gaylord Knox and Lela Shearer Knox, who were missionaries in Siam. Gaylord grew up mostly in Thailand and India, traveled the world, and served his country both in war and in peacetime. He received his medical degree from Tulane University in 1951, and went on to become a trailblazing radiologist who actively served the medical profession his entire life. A man of many and diverse interests and talents, a loving father, gifted teacher and mentor, he filled his life and the lives of those close to him with warmth, adventure, and the fascination of his eclectic interests. We cherish our memories of him, and miss him dearly.
