Obituary for Dr. C.A. Wayne Hurtubise, Jr. Dr. Hurtubise, age 83, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2014. Dr. C.A. “Wayne” Hurtubise, age 83, died peacefully on Monday November 10th, 2014. He was born in 1930 in Havertown, PA to Dr. C. A. Wayne Hurtubise Sr. and Elsie Greaves Hurtubise. He attended and graduated from his beloved Episcopal Academy in 1949. While at Episcopal, Wayne earned ten varsity letters in football, basketball, and baseball. To quote the Episcopal Academy citation — “However, his star shined brightest on the baseball diamond, where he is considered one of the best 2nd basemen in EA history.” Wayne attended Haverford College and also excelled in the same three varsity sports. He was Haverford’s 2nd baseman for four years and was offered professional contracts by the Pirates, Braves, and Dodgers, the latter of whom had Jackie Robinson at that position. In Wayne’s words, “What a thrill!” Rather than play professional baseball, Wayne chose instead to attend Penn Medical School, graduating in 1957. He then joined the Army and was a battalion surgeon. Following his Army duties, Wayne returned home and married Angela Giribaldi who he met at the University of Pennsylvania where she was studying Education as an under graduate. Angie passed on July 16, 2014 after 59 years of marriage to Wayne. Wayne and Angie resided in Haverford, PA where he practiced family medicine on the Main Line for 37 years. During this time Wayne also treated patients at Haverford State and Bryn Mawr Hospitals and was the school doctor and team physician at Episcopal Academy and Agnes Irwin School. He also was the team doctor for Little Quakers football. Wayne and Angie’s biggest source of pride and joy were their five daughters: Lauren, Leslie, Sandy, Jen & Meg and 10 grandchildren. Wayne retired from medicine in 1999 and traded his stethoscope for a passport to travel the world with Angie, spending time in Florida cheering on the Phillies, and yearly trips to Bordighera Italy. Between trips Wayne and Angie spent time with their daughters, their daughter’s families and their 10 grandchildren. Wayne also enjoyed playing golf as a member of the Philadelphia Country Club, dinners at the Avalon Yacht Club, watching his horses’ race, attending Eagles’ games, Little Quaker’s games and Episcopal Academy football games. To his family and friends Wayne will be remembered for his infectious laughter, love of life, family, sports and (occasionally) the love of a good Manhattan in the company of the people that mattered most in his life. He is survived by five wonderful daughters: Lauren McKinney(Rodger), Leslie Steidle Kelly(Brian), Sandy Ulmer(Mark), Jen Schaeffer (Matt) and Meg Wolgamott(Eric); also survived by 10 loving grandchildren and his brother, Barrie L. Hurtubise. His Funeral Service will be held on Friday November 14th, 5 PM in The Class of 1944 Chapel at Episcopal Academy, 1785 Bishop White Dr, Newtown Square, PA 19073, where the family will receive guests after 4 PM. A reception will follow the service at Episcopal Academy. If so inclined, please bring a contribution to EA's canned food drive to feed the hungry in memory of Wayne. His burial will be private at the Hurtubise family mausoleum. We thank the Lord for allowing Him to share this wonderful human being as our friend, father. God Bless. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Wayne's memory to Episcopal Academy at the above mentioned address.
