About |
Roger was a pediatrician with the Indian Health Service, then living and stationed in Anchorage, AK. While visiting an Arctic village clinic In Kotzebue, AK. to see young patients, he was killed by a drunk driver, who is now sentenced to 15 years for manslaughter & assault on Roger's seriously wounded passenger, the clinic's physical therapist. Roger was inducted into the UCHSAA Hall of Fame in October 2009, represented by his mother, the late Mrs. Sheila Gollub. He is survived by his wife, Diane Abrahams-Gollub, now of Albuquerque, his daughters Anna and Sarah Gollub, who were each married after Roger's death, and his older brother, David Gollub a poet in the Bay Area, California. In a tragic coincidence, David, also a UCHS alum, was himself seriously injured by a hit and run driver several years after Roger was killed, and is now disabled. |
