Dr. Dilip Senn | He was
born on 21 March 1921 in Chittagong, Bangladesh (formerly part
of India). He died on 21 July 2001 kidney disease in Moncton,
New Brunswick, at the age of 80.
Dr. Senn practiced medicine
for more than 50 years in Moncton, NB. Upon retirement, his patients
were saddened to lose him as their physician. Dr. Senn possessed
a quality that is rare amongst the physicians of today: he actually
cared for his patients. According to Dr. Senn's daughter, Roma,
he "made house calls at all hours, saw patients on weekends
and performed procedures you now receive only at your hospital's
emergency department." He was truly an upstanding individual.
Dr. Senn immigrated to Canada
in 1959 with his wife and his daughter, choosing Moncton as his
home. Dr. Senn's son was born shortly after in 1961. To his children,
Dr. Senn imparted many of the values that were prevalent in his
household when he was child. Among these values, those of obtaining
a good education and aiming for seemingly impossible goals were
ones that he was particularly passionate about.
Dr. Senn enjoyed life to its
fullest, and he was especially fond of physical activity. Even
into his seventies, he ran, swam and trained with weights. His
contribution to the social fabric of Moncton was truly significant,
and those who knew him rightfully claim that he is missed.
