Gary E. Underhill ’63, M.D., died November 16, 2020, at Gateway Hospital in Evansville, Indiana, of complications from cancer. He was born in Hopkins, Minnesota, in 1940 and attended Hopkins Sr. High School, where he was active in drama and debating. After graduating from Dartmouth Gary received his M.D. in 1966 from the University of Minnesota and did his internship at St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, Minnesota. He served two years in the U.S. Air Force as general medical office in Izmir, Turkey. He did a residency in pediatrics at the University of Kansas and then spent 34 years as a board-certified pediatrician at the Welborn Clinic in Evansville. He was on the staffs of Welborn Hospital, St. Mary’s Hospital, Deaconess Hospital, and Gateway Hospital.

He flew in national scale model airplane competitions six times and at the Mint Julep, the “Kentucky Derby” of model airplane competition near Elizabeth, Indiana, 26 times. Gary helped people learn to fly and memorably said that “it’s never too windy to fly someone else’s airplane.” He was preceded in death by his first wife, Rosemary, and was married for 32 years to Carole, who survives him. Also surviving Gary are three children, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
