Malcolm was regarded as a humble man of high integrity, loyalty and loving kindness. His untimely death brings deep grief to all who knew and loved him. Casadaban was born in New Orleans August 12, 1949 and was raised in Metairie. In 1967 he graduated from Jesuit High School where he was a National Merit Finalist. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971 and in 1976 he completed his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at Harvard University. As a graduate student at Harvard he invented a series of gen-fusion techniques to isolate specific bacterial genes, prevent them from being expressed and analyze their functions. His post-doctoral fellowship in Molecular Genetics was completed at Stanford University in 1978. The tools he created brought him recognition as a major figure in genetic analysis. After his post- doctoral training, he completed his research fellowship in the Public Health Service at the National Institutes of Health. In 1980 he began as an Assistant Professor in Biophysics and Theoretical Biology and the Committee on Genetics at the University of Chicago. In 1985, he was promoted to Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology. In 1985 he became a member of the Committee on Virology, which evolved into the Department of Microbiology. At the time of his death he was an Associate Professor in Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology and of Microbiology at the University of Chicago. It was at the University of Chicago where he continued to refine his techniques, teach them to other researchers and extend their applications to important problems related to the control of gene expression. He published more than 60 research papers in distinguished scientific journals and, with colleagues, filed several patents for technologies he created. He was a pioneering researcher who developed what are now common techniques to study the effects of specific genes in many disease-causing organisms. His methods have enabled scientists worldwide to study the genes responsible for much of the damage caused by various types of bacteria and develop new ways to prevent or treat infections.

He is survived by sixteen grandchildren, his brother Lt. Col. Jim Lyman (Ret.), and cousins Walker Lyman and Toddy Hartt.

He married in 1956, served in the U.S. Navy and then returned to Tulane Law School, where he received his LLB in 1958. During law school, he served as a member of the Board of Editors of the Tulane Law Review and received the Order of the Coif. He was a member of the American Bar Association and the Louisiana State Bar Association, serving as Chairman of the Corporate and Business Law Section from 1975-1976. He was a partner of Milling, Benson Woodward law firm, where he was elected to serve as managing partner for many years. He was selected by Best Lawyers in America as one of Louisiana's top 100 lawyers during his career of over 50 years. He was a member of the Boston Club and the Pickwick Club and an honorary lifetime member of the Louisiana Club. He participated in several carnival organizations.

He was a thinker of profound insight, and a wordsmith of astounding clarity. His humor was ever-present and he possessed an uncanny knack for giving nicknames with incredible staying power. He succeeded in virtually every endeavor he attempted, but even in adversarial situations, he never made an enemy. He died at Serendipity, his special place on The Mountain, named after a word coined by Horace Walpole in 1757 to describe "the gift of discovery by accident and sagacity of things…not in quest of."

Jaime maintained a solo clinical practice in endocrinology and internal medicine in New Orleans for 35 years, seeing patients until days before his own hospitalization in July. He was a fixture in the New Orleans running community, and he competed in more than 100 marathons. Jaime was born November 2, 1938, in Caba Rojo, Puerto Rico. He was the son of Virginia and the late Pedro Olivo, of Phoenix, Arizona. His family moved to New York City when Jaime was a young child. He attended public schools there and was one of very few Puerto Rican students admitted to Stuyvesant High School in the 1950s. He attended New York University and New York Medical College. After graduating from medical school in 1961, Jaime moved to Los Angeles for his residency and internship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in endocrinology, after which he began a career in medical research. In 1966, Jaime married Darlene Hingle of New Orleans, then a nurse at Cedars-Sinai. They had two daughters, Pilar in 1967 and Carisa in 1970. Just after Pilar was born, Jaime and Darlene moved to Rockland County, New York. In 1973, Jaime and Darlene separated and Jaime assumed primary care of their daughters. Darlene returned to New Orleans. A year and a half later, Jaime moved with Pilar and Carisa to New Orleans and opened a clinical practice. They divorced in 1978. In 1992, Jaime married Maureen Haney of New Orleans. They divorced in 2007. In addition to his marriages, Jaime had important relationships with the late Rowena Bowab Larose of Metairie and then Covington, and with Patricia Durr of New Orleans and then Slidell. Long after most doctors had banded together in group practices, he preferred working alone. His practice was focused primarily at Baptist, Pendleton Memorial, and Lindy Boggs hospitals-all of which were inundated by Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of Katrina, Jaime was forced to close his practice for almost eight demoralizing months. As he worked to rebuild his practice, Jaime accepted an offer to share an office with his long-time colleague Dr. John Ernst. Jaime took up running in 1983 and became an avid marathoner. From first marathon in 1985 he ran on average of five per year for 25 years. He was particularly proud of the training he did to prepare for the 100th running of the Boston Marathon in 1996. In the preceding year, Jaime ran 12 marathons. Jaime's last race was the 2009 Crescent City Classic on April 11. He took his last steps on July 13, on his way to Touro Hospital for treatment. Jaime leaves his two daughters and their families: Pilar Olivo and Geordie Wilson of Concord, NH and grandchildren Rowena, Ruby, and Liam Wilson-Olivo; and Carisa Olivo and Leo Leung of Framingham, MA and grandchildren Ellis and Colette Leung. He also leaves his mother, Virginia Olivo, and sisters and their families: Sofia and Luis Bones of New River, AZ, and Aggie and Josef Paluch of New River, AZ; and his brother and family: Efren and Cecelia Olivo of Nyack, NY.

Times Picayune 11-01-2009 **************************************** 000715 O'QUINN John M. O'Quinn, dedicated and extremely successful trial lawyer, generous benefactor, and devoted friend to those who loved him, has ended his earthly journey far too soon. John's journey was always exciting because he demanded so much of himself. orn on the 4th of September 1941, he passed away Thursday, the 29th of October 2009. John spent his professional life as a powerful advocate for the powerless - he was the courtroom champion of the ordinary person. He seemed bigger than life with his dynamic personality and folksy presence, which cleverly masked a giant intellect. He believed that the courtroom was the great common denominator: this was where each person was truly equal. John was the "difference maker" in so many major cases. He considered the courtroom much like the athlete considers the playing field. John took each and every case seriously and personally. As the "people's champion", even those who opposed him in court soon realized his unflinching commitment to his clients and that even they were enhanced by his presence. Each client was unique; each case special. John was very much the home-town boy - he loved the city of Houston which helped create his legendary skills: both were robust, confident, extremely successful, with an unyielding attitude. Recognized publicly as a legal icon, he was named one of the 100 Legal Legends of the Law by the Texas Lawyer and recognized by the National Law Journal and Harvard Law Review as one of the Best Lawyers in America, receiving four of the largest verdicts in Texas legal history. An honors graduate of the University of Houston Law Center, he served as a Regent for the University of Houston, as well as a trustee of the UH Law School Foundation. He truly loved the UH Law School and all UH athletic activities. John used his fame and fortune to assist not only the University of Houston with the John O'Quinn Law Library and the John O'Quinn Field at Robertson Stadium, but also the Children's Assessment Center, the Women's Center, Baylor College of Medicine, the End Hunger Network, St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, the South Texas College of Law Advocacy Center, and so many more of equal importance. He was a man who was determined to give back to the city, which had been so very good to him. He once said that the only things you get to take with you are those things you give away. But despite the public persona, John O'Quinn was also a very complicated private person. He seemed as if he were a walking contradiction. Few people knew the John O'Quinn who helped so many when no one else would. Not many knew of the wonderful friendship he shared with the few people who saw this private manifestation of his generous nature. The private John O'Quinn was the first to answer the call when a friend was in need, and he was loved by his classmates at the UH Law Center. From this class developed a strong bond between John and his contemporaries - Alvin Zimmerman, Jack Raines, Al Levin, and especially this writer, Gerald Treece. He was a friend to all of us and he is already being missed more than any of us can truly express. The private John O'Quinn faced many demons. He fought them with the same zeal he approached the courtroom. John was a proud member of the 12-Step Fellowship, a group known as the "Motley Crew." Only one woman was invited into this group, Darla Lexington, and together with these men, the group helped one another to fight the monster called alcoholism. John's friends made him stronger and he them. His sobriety was nearing eleven years. He truly loved these guys. Standing by his side was Darla Lexington, the love of his life. They shared a passion for philanthropy, the arts, and classic cars. Their dream was to build an automotive history museum in Houston and Darla intends to build that legacy in John's name. They escaped to their beautiful ranch in Wimberley, Texas whenever they could and planned to retire there. John also deeply cared for Darla's daughter, Michelle Coopwood, and referred to her as his daughter. John also leaves behind his beloved aunt, Ruth O'Quinn, and cousin, Carol O'Quinn, his extended family, as well as many dear friends. Darla, along with the guidance of Dr. Ed Young and others at Second Baptist, helped John on his journey to find his spiritual self. We can all rejoice that John found peace, and that he knows the full love of God, which is forever. A writer to the Houston Chronicle, responding to the news of John's death, wrote, "JMO was a brilliant attorney. He was a generous soul. The last samurai warrior. A real gunslinger. JMO championed the causes of the nameless and faceless individuals who did not have the means to challenge the mammoth defendants. UH has lost its son. Houston has lost its friend. The world has lost a generous soul…He loved hard work. He was a dedicated man."

Reilly (USAF Ret.) passed away peacefully on Nov. 1st in his home at 2350 Grape Ave, Boulder, CO. His wife Dorothy and daughter Dr. JoHannah Reilly were at his bedside. Col. Reilly was the son of Maurice and Gladys Reilly of New Orleans. Col. Reilly's life began on Nov. 26, 1920 in New Orleans but really gained meaning when he met another neighborhood pal, Dot. That meeting would lead to a lifetime partnership that they shared for over 73 years. They married on Jan. 19, 1942 just before he joined the Army Air Corp to become a physical fitness instructor at nearby Keesler AFB, MS. Their children, James, Jonathan and JoHannah were born and shared a journey which took the family to over a dozen military assignments in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. After retirement, he became Director of Catholic Community Services of Colorado Springs and the couple settled in Woodland Park, Perry Park and Colorado Springs for over 37 years. When his health declined they moved to Boulder in 2008 to be closer to JoHannah's care. Col. Reilly's Air Force career was in the fields of special services and personnel services. He was Project Officer and Tour Coordinator of the Bob Hope Christmas Tours during the late 1940s through the 1950s, including a special tour during the Berlin Air Lift featuring Irving Berlin and dignitaries such as Vice President Alben Barkley. Scores of sports stars such as Joe DiMaggio and Hollywood and television celebrities made these shows legendary. As Chief of Entertainment and Recreation for the US Air Force he continued to plan and administer entertainment tours and programs, and while in Viet Nam he served on the MACV HQ Staff as Chief of Personnel Services under Gen. Abrams. But Col. Reilly's niche was creating unique Air Force family entertainment programs and community and Air Force partnerships. In 1953, Col. Reilly developed the first Worldwide Air Force Talent Contest and the next year he created and Dot named Tops in Blue, the Air Force's premier entertainment showcase. Col. Reilly then guided Tops in Blue on a worldwide trek of 230 shows in 235 days. Under its current leadership of Mr. Thomas E. Edwards, Tops in Blue still maintains that breakneck pace entertaining Air Force personnel, their families and foreign dignitaries around the world. After 55 years, it is the oldest ongoing program in the Air Force. After his retirement in 1972, Tops in Blue honored Col. Reilly each year at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Due to his failing health, the whole Tops in Blue cast surprised him at his Boulder home this past spring and personally entertained his family and guests for what turned out to be Col. Reilly's last Tops in Blue performance. Col. Reilly's many Air Force partnerships with local communities were quietly crowned in his last assignment as Chief of Personnel at Kirkland AFB. There, he initiated and oversaw a community outreach effort that bridged arroyos and paved roads at many of New Mexico's various Indian pueblos. Col. Reilly's brothers Maurice, Walter, Donald and Norbert as well as his sisters Gladys Buckert, and Rosemary Culotta preceded him in death. His life remains cherished by Dorothy, his son MSgt. James H. Reilly (USAF Ret.) of Overton, NV, son Jonathan and his wife Laurie Reilly of Colorado Springs, daughter Dr. JoHannah Reilly of Boulder, and granddaughters Paige Reilly of the College of Santa Fe in NM, and Eleanor Reilly Malcolm of Friends School in Boulder.

Logan National Cemetery at staging area C on Friday, Nov. 20th from 1:15 pm to 1:45 pm, followed by a gathering of friends and family at the Red Rocks Park Visitor's Center above the amphitheatre from 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm.

His devoted wife, Norris, was at his side, along with other family members. Dr. Sartin was the son of Admiral Lea Bennett Sartin, M.D., USN, and Cecile Menville Sartin, of Houma, Louisiana. Because his father was a navy physician, young John moved all over the country and the world, receiving his education at a wide variety of schools. He served as a pharmacist's mate in the United States Navy during World War II. Before World War II, he studied pre-medicine at Tulane University, but left the program and joined the United States Navy after his father was taken prisoner by the Japanese at the very start of the war. After the war, he studied dentistry at Loyola University, during which time on a blind date he met the love of his life, Norris Mary Murphy (Sartin). They were married June 2, 1948, and they enjoyed a beautiful marriage of 61 years. They were blessed with three children: John Menville (Donnette) Sartin, Jr. (deceased), Dr. Barry (Carol) Sartin, and Glen (Thomas) Sartin Becker. John and Norris eventually settled in the Lakeview section of New Orleans, living in the same home from 1950 through August 29, 2005, when Hurricane Katrina flooded their home, necessitating their move to Metairie. During his Lakeview years, he was a parishioner of St. Pius X Church, where for many years he served as an usher and eucharistic minister. He also established his dental practice in Lakeview. While gaining a reputation as a skilled and meticulous professional, he quietly gave of his talents by performing free dental work for members of the clergy and religious, as well as for countless patients of limited means. In both his professional and personal life, he quietly gave of himself to others. After his move to Metairie, he became a parishioner of St. Philip Neri Church. He is survived by five grandchildren: Mary Ellen (Jody) Becker Elsmore, Barry William Sartin, Jr., Elizabeth Claire Becker, George Michael Sartin, and Hillary Caroline Becker. He also is survived by three great-grandchildren: Zachary Arthur Kincaid, Michael Francis Kincaid, and Caylee Marie Elsmore. Dr. Sartin was a quiet, selfless, deeply spiritual man who brought peace, calm, and a dry sense of humor to everyone with whom he came into contact. Beloved by many, he enriched countless lives.

He graduated from Columbia University in 1956. During his college years he served as an intern and aide to William F. Buckley at the National Review. He then embarked upon a successful career as a Madison Avenue executive. He rose in the business to head the lucrative Helena Rubinstein and Max Factor national accounts which lead him to eventually relocate to Los Angeles. While still working in advertising on the West coast his personal interest in music brought him into contact with executives at Columbia records who asked him to help promote an unknown piano player from NYC named Billy Joel. Jon left advertising in 1969 and worked with Billy for his first three albums and is immortalized in Joel's breakthrough song Piano Man in the line "Jon at the bar". Mr. Troy eventually dropped out of the music business and settled in Shreveport, Louisiana where he ran a night club from 1978-83. Longing for a bigger city experience he eventually settled in New Orleans in 1979, finding a job as the liquor service manager for Commander's Palace restaurant. It was there that he befriended Commander's new chef Emeril LaGasse who had recently taken over the kitchen. Knowing that Emeril was a Billy Joel fan, Jon was able to bring the two together on numerous occasions. When Emeril struck out on his own, Jon followed him to his soon to be world famous restaurant Emeril's, where he managed the liquor service for a time. A series of health problems began to limit Jon's employability and he eventually was forced to relocate to Atlanta after his New Orleans apartment building flooded during Katrina. He died in Atlanta of congestive heart failure on Oct. 1. He is survived by his sister Patricia Cooney and her husband Patrick of Atlanta, GA; also his nieces Kathleen Holder, Theresa Waitalis, Jennifer Stapleton and their families.
