Daily News | Ralph F. Wetmore Jr., retired head and neck surgeon, professor emeritus, and trustee at CHOP, has died at 71
Ralph F. Wetmore Jr., 71, formerly of Doylestown, retired head and neck surgeon at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, former chief of CHOP’s division of otolaryngology and president of the medical staff, professor emeritus, researcher, trustee, and author, died Saturday, Sept. 3, of Lewy body dementia at his home in Johns Island, S.C.
Known by colleagues and friends for his “no-nonsense teaching style and patience” and “charismatic smile with a matching wit,” Dr. Wetmore easily and repeatedly made personal connections and lifelong friendships. He rescued a choking diner in a restaurant one night and attended to victims of a car crash he came upon.
He married Mary Cantalupo in 1976, and they had son Rick and daughter Alicia. After a divorce, he met Melinda DeMoss at CHOP, and they married in 2009. He lived in Secane, Wayne, Haverford, and Doylestown before moving to Johns Island after he retired. He binge-watched the Weather Channel, cheered for the team and wore his green Eagles hoodie constantly, enthusiastically attended concerts by James Taylor, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga, and adopted dogs from rescue shelters. He liked to hash over life’s issues with his family, and lovingly signed every card in person that his florist sent with the flowers he bought for his wife.
