Beloved husband of the late Reta (Galliher) McCullough who predeceased him March 19, 1991. Dear father of Margaret Jane McCullough of Ottawa, Robert J. of Mississauga and Thomas G. of Wilno, Ont. Fondly remembered by his eight grandchildren; brother of Ruth Markowitz of Toronto, Helen Rogers, Kathleen McCullough and Jean McCullough, all of London and Gordon McCullough of Brome, Que.

      A graduate of the University of Western Ontario Medical School in 1930, he entered into general practice in Alma, Ont. with his uncle James and George McQuibban. The practice was subsequently moved to Elmira in 1933 where he continued to practice until his retirement in 1977. His long association with both St. Mary's and the K-W Hospitals was recognized by a term as president of the K-W Medical Society. A strong advocate of the specialty of family medicine, he was an influential member of the Canadian College of Family Physicians serving as president in 1963 and 1964. As well as representing Canada in the World College, he was an honorary fellow of the American and Australian Colleges of General Practice. A faithful member of Gale Presbyterian Church, Elmira, he was recently recognized for having served 50 years as church elder. Dr. McCullough will be missed by many colleagues, friends, family, patients and his associates in the community. The family will receive friends and relatives at the Dreisinger Funeral Home, Elmira, tonight (Thursday) from 7-9 p.m. and Friday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. At noon on Saturday transfer will be made to Gale Presbyterian Church, Elmira for funeral service at 1: 30 p.m. with The Rev.
