In Memoriam

The Library has lost a good friend in Library Advisory Council member Joseph Sussen, C'49, who passed away last month after a short illness. He is survived by his wife Betty Ann, his son Joseph Sussen, III and his daughters Mary Patricia Carroll, Kathleen Thompson and Sarah Sussen.

Joe served on various boards at Georgetown in addition to the Library's. In 1989 he received the John Carroll Award, which is the highest award given to a volunteer. He also received the Alumni Association Presidential Citation Award, which was presented to him in 1996.

"Joe will be greatly missed," said Sue Martin, former University Librarian. "He always had a smile, and usually a joke or two for those around him. His love of Georgetown translated into an active and constant effort to help the University, and particularly the Library. Wherever Joe and Betty were, there was fun and laughter, but also a seriousness of purpose."
