Richard Frank Manegold

Richard Frank Manegold, a Sarasota resident for twenty years and a man of fine intellect, wry humor and endless curiosity, died peacefully January 3 with his family nearby. Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at age five, he moved to Chicago. Enrolled at The Parker School, he was allowed, much to his mother's horror, to sit on the school's roof writing poetry. Richard Manegold attended the Philips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and graduated as a member of the Harvard class of 1943. After serving in the Army Air Corps during World War II, he entered Temple Medical School. He graduated with an M.D. and was married in 1950, then completed his residency in internal medicine at Boston City Hospital. As a newly minted doctor, he moved to Washington, D.C. where he was Director of Medical Education at Sibley Memorial Hospital. He then moved to Chicago where he served as Director of the American Medical Association's Department of Hospitals and Medical Facilities. The family returned to Washington in the 1960s when Dr. Manegold was appointed Associate Director of Program Development for the National Advisory Council on Regional Medical Programs at the National Institutes of Health. After completing his work at NIH, he joined the faculty at Georgetown University Hospital as an Associate Professor of Medicine, and later moved to Easton, Maryland where he first worked in private practice and then, in 1978, joined the staff at Easton Memorial Hospital. Dr. Manegold is survived by his wife, Mary, of 66 years; four daughters, Nina of Montclair, NJ, Deborah of Cambridge, MA, Catherine of Bridport, VT, and Eliza of Cape Elizabeth, ME; and seven grandchildren. He will long be loved and remembered for his humor, generosity, his love of tennis, birding, sailing, backgammon and most of all, his love of, and duty to, his family. The family wishes to extend particular thanks and warm appreciation to the staff at the Carroll Center at The Glenridge for their kindness and fine care in the last year of his life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Southeastern Guide Dogs, Inc. at 210 77th Street East, Palmetto, FL 34221.
