Richard S. Spielman was memorialized today, November 19, at a service in Philadelphia following his untimely death April 25, 2009. Thus, it seems a proper time to pause, remember, and celebrate the life of a friend and colleague who contributed so much to our field. Professor Spielman was the only child of Beatrice and the late Ralph Spielman, a professor of social science at Bucknell University. He earned an undergraduate degree in biology from Harvard College in 1967 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan Department of Human Genetics under the direction of the late James V. Neel. He spent his entire academic faculty career at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of Genetics (formerly Department of Human Genetics), where he was a major contributor to the birth of research areas in quantitative and human genetics.
