Two prominent members of the community recently passed on. Both were kind, generous and public-spirited gentlemen and will be missed.
William Jackson Stegeman, the founder of Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, died on Oct. 13 at age 77 at the Friends Home in Kennett Square. He started the company in 1982 in a room in a neighbor's barn, then moved to a rented building in Avondale, and finally to the headquarters that he built on Baltimore Pike in Jennersville (next to the Jennersville YMCA, where I often saw him working out). The company's products are used in research labs around the world.

Henry Brown died at his Newlin Township home on Nov. 21 at age 81. After "Jerry" retired from his career as an architect with Anderson, Brown, Higley and Associates in Wilmington, he opened Unionville's Foxy Loxy ice-cream store. How appropriate that a party to celebrate his life will be held at Foxy Loxy on Friday, December 6, from 4 to 7 p.m.; all who knew him are welcome. I will miss his smile and the twinkle in his eye.
