VERO BEACH, FLA. Dr. John Calvin Macaulay, "Jack," 88, died peacefully at his home in Vero Beach, Fla. on March 25, 2013. The son of John and Ruth Macaulay, he was born in Oneida and grew up in Sherrill, N.Y. He graduated from Syracuse University and Albany Medical College.
Dr. Macaulay met his wife, Phyllis Pierson in 1954. They were married the following year and moved to Boston where he was a research fellow in infectious diseases at Harvard School of Public Health and at the Boston Children's Hospital. He was privileged to have worked with Dr. Thomas Weller and Dr. John Enders, recipients of the 1954 Nobel Prize for Medicine.
Returning to Oneida, Dr. Macaulay opened a pediatric practice in 1956 and subsequently founded the Oneida Pediatric Group. For decades he cared for the children of the area with wisdom and compassion. While on the staff of Oneida City Hospital, he served as Chief of Staff, chairman of the Pediatric Department, and on numerous other committees of Oneida City Hospital. For several years, he was President of Madison County Medical Society. Active in medical research, he authored many papers published in academic journals on subjects such as bulbar polio, cytomegalovirus, and measles.
Dr. Macaulay was well known to generations of children as the physician for the school district. He held many leadership positions in medical, civic, and church organizations. He founded the Oneida Area Arts Council in 1964 and the Oneida Area Day Care Center in 1971. Both organizations continue to thrive and benefit the community.
In 1982, Jack and Phyllis moved to Ithaca, N.Y. where he was Director of Student Health Services at Ithaca College and then staff physician at Cornell University. Following his retirement, he and his wife began living most of the year in Vero Beach, Fla.
Dr. Macaulay was a man of faith who believed strongly in the ideals of peace and social justice, stewardship of the earth, and the transformative power of education and cultural exchange. He loved the outdoors, fishing, and the wonders of nature.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Phyllis, and a grateful and loving family, including his children, Laurel Jordan, John B. Macaulay, and Suzanne Meyert; and seven beloved grandchildren, Andrew, Katherine, Kimberly, Lindsay, William, Alexandra, and John Cameron. He is survived by his sister, Rowena Dawson and was predeceased by her twin, Ruth Bowen. He cherished his family and many deep friendships.
