SENCER, Dr. David J.
Dr. David J. Sencer, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and former Health Commissioner of New York City, died Monday, May 2, 2011, in Atlanta. In addition to his accomplishments in public health, Dr. Sencer was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. In his later years, he was a technophile, enjoying texting, emailing, and Facebook with his friends and, most of all, grandchildren. He was also an avid fan of his grandchildren’s athletic pursuits. David Sencer was born in Grand Rapids, MI. He attended Wesleyan University, the University of Michigan Medical School, and Harvard University School of Public Health. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Jane Blood Sencer; three children, Susan Sencer (and her husband David Mura) of Minneapolis, Ann Sencer of Atlanta, and Stephen Sencer (and his wife Conner Ball) of Atlanta. David and Jane also have six grandchildren: Samantha, Nikko, Tomo Sencer-Mura, Rachel Jane Gundaker, and Isaac and Jacob Sencer. Many will remember him as a leader in public health; his family will miss him dearly and remember him as a much-loved husband, father, and grandfather. He leaves behind a legion of friends and colleagues. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Instead of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to the David J. Sencer, MD, MPH Scholarship at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, 1518 Clifton Road, NE, Atlanta, GA, 30322.
