With profound regret I inform you that one of the most forceful voices for psychoanalysis has been silenced. Leo Rangell, the first man to be named Honorary President of APsaA, passed away early today at the age of 97. Leo had undergone a relatively routine surgical procedure but his post-op course had become quite complicated. Leo had been a major, and constant, contributor to our scientific literature for eight decades, including the present one. His oeuvre constituted over 450 publications, many of them seminal. He served as President of both APsaA and of the IPA, each on two occasions. In recent years he had also been a presence on the Huffington Post as well as on NPR. In addition I counted him as my personal friend and mentor. Leo was, in a word, extraordinary. We will of course continue with our plans to honor Leo during our upcoming meeting in San Francisco.
There will be a memorial service here in the Los Angeles area at some time in the future and I will inform you about this as we learn the details. I extend my sympathies to the Rangell family and to his special friend and companion, Dr. Beth Kalish-Weiss.
He will be missed, but not forgotten.
Warren R. Procci, President, APsaA
