Featured Obituary:

Jay Krishna Pandit, 89, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2017 surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Nagpur, India, in 1928, he was a champion debater, editor of the newspaper The Genius, and a graduate of the Nagpur Medical College.

He was Chief of Surgery and Medical Director of Thorek Hospital and a trustee of Thorek Foundation. He went on to become Dean of Clinical Affairs of St. James School of Medicine until his retirement at age 88.

On his first day of residency at the American Hospital in Chicago, he met Maura,nee McElligott, a beautiful Irish nurse, from County Kerry. They were married for 54 years.

He is survived by his favorite daughter, Solita (Gene) Murphy, and favorite son Shaun (Kristin) and five grandchildren Conor, Daniel and Caitlin Murphy, and Charles and Joseph Pandit.

With a twinkle in his eye, he was always the first to take the dance floor.
