      Dr. Maus died on Nov. 1, 2008, at the age of 90, in Windsor, Ont. Dr. Maus graduated from the University of Toronto, specializing in radiation oncology, in 1942. After completing his medical degree, he used his skills to serve in World War II. Upon his return, he joined the Windsor Cancer Clinic in 1953 as the staff radiologist and surgeon. Ten years later, he was named the clinic director, a position he held for 20 years. During that time, the facility expanded significantly to accommodate the growing number of cancer patients in the region. Even after his retirement, his knowledge and expertise were still sought after. Dr. Maus was a former director of the Ontario Cancer Foundation Clinic (now the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre). He was involved in the local health care community even after he retired. His son Roger remembered him as a hard-working doctor, "tirelessly devoted" to his patients and their families. Dr. Maus and his wife, Shirley, who died in 1999, had 5 children (Roger, Elizabeth, Linda, Natalie, Peggy and Laurie). Dr. Maus was also a grandfather and a great-grandfather.
