Dr. John H. (Jack) Dettweiler, 82, passed away Saturday, August 31, 2002. He is survived by his beloved wife, Susie Dettweiler of Albuquerque; sons, Jack Dettweiler Jr. and wife, Terry of Albuquerque, Eric Dettweiler and wife, Lisa of Albuquerque; daughter, Terry Ann Dettweiler; and granddaughter, Eva Dettweiler all of Albuquerque. Born April 28, 1920, to William E. Dettweiler D.D.S. and Helen B. Dettweiler, Jack grew up in Washington D.C. with his brother, Bill, and sister, Helen, one of the founders of the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Dr. Dettweiler graduated from Georgetown Prep School where he played football and was Captain of the Golf and Rifle Teams. He received his B.S. degree from Georgetown University and his M.D. from Georgetown University Medical School. He completed his internship and residency at D.C. General Hospital, and taught Clinical Medicine at the University of Arkansas Medical School. In 1948 he moved to Albuquerque and began his private practice. While he found time for golf, fishing, hunting and gardening, his dedication was to his medical practice, and he always practiced it the way he felt it should be done. He was available seven days a week, and made house calls until the day he retired. He is Past President of the Bernalillo County Medical Society and Four Hills Country Club. His philosophy was: Always be thankful for what you have and never complain about what you don't have. If you want something bad enough, the good Lord has given you the talents and energy you need to acquire it.
