Obituary: Andrew Rinker, M.D., a prominent New Orleans pediatrician, passed away peacefully at home on 10, 2016. He devoted his life to his family; the care, development and well-being of children; public service and his passion for fishing. Dr. Rinker (Andy) was the youngest of four children. Ronald Reagan, the future U.S. President, who, at the time was a student and quarterback of the football team at Eureka , Illinois, was his babysitter and taught him to swim. In high school, Andy was the quarterback of the football team, head of the student council and editor-in-chief of his high school newspaper The Nautilus. During summers he taught canoeing and rowing at the Boy Scout Aquatic Schools and in camps in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, where he served as waterfront and camp director. He also earned the rank of Eagle Scout. He always had a keen sense of history as his boyhood residence garden had historical significance: stone monuments there commemorate places where Abraham Lincoln spoke on his road to the White House. He attended Harvard University and the University of Illinois and graduated from Tulane University in 1953 with a Bachelor of Science in Geology. At Tulane, he received the W.A. Tarr Award as the outstanding earth sciences major and was a member of the Sigma Gamma Epsilon honorary earth sciences society. He also was a member of the Tulane chapter of Alpha Phi Omega national service fraternity. In 1957, he also graduated from the Tulane School of Medicine and was a member of the Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity and received the New Orleans Pediatric Society Award for the top graduating senior. He completed his Tulane residency in pediatrics at Charity Hospital of Louisiana at New Orleans in 1960 and thereafter served for two years as a captain and as the chief of pediatrics of the U.S Army Medical Corps at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, during which time he received the Army Commendation Medal. He also led geological expeditions through the regional caves and other formations and to the Trinity Site where the first atomic bomb was detonated and Trinitite, a new mineral, was created. Upon returning to New Orleans after his military service, Dr. Rinker joined the Diaz-Simon Pediatric Clinic. Within a few years, he established his own medical practice where he would frequently treat up to 100 patients per day. He greatly enjoyed helping children and their parents. Many of his patients enjoyed his disposition and manner so much that they refused to move on to internists and other specialist doctors when they reached adulthood. Dr. Rinker was especially pleased when he had the opportunity to treat the children and grandchildren of his former patients. In addition to treating his patients in his offices, he was more than occasionally asked for medical advice from patients, or more likely, his patients’ parents, when he saw them at his home, their home, at grocery stores, at social events or even while on his exercise walks with his wife Frances. The parents of one patient even wrote in chalk on the sidewalk outside of their home, on a path Dr. Rinker was known to take his early morning walks, that they wished Dr. Rinker would stop at their home as he passed their house to examine their sick child. He good-naturedly complied and would smile upon remembering similar events. He was also known to answer the frequent phone calls of anxious parents at all hours of the night. His often laughed and feigned frustration when parents would argue with him that the child’s grandparents (who were not medically trained) had insisted on a different and inappropriate home-remedy course of treatment for their child. He was active in numerous medical professional societies. Dr. Rinker was chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on School , the Council on Child , and the Committee on Infant and Pre-School Children. He was certified by and a member of the American Board of Pediatrics and a member of the Louisiana State Medical Society, the Orleans Parish Medical Society, the Greater New Orleans Medical Society, the New Orleans Pediatric Society, the Louisiana Pediatric Society, the Irish and American Pediatric Society and the American Medical Association. He wrote numerous published medical articles for professional journals. Dr. Rinker was a clinical professor of medicine at the Tulane University School of Medicine where he also served on the medical school’s admissions committee. He received several commendations from the school for outstanding service as a community preceptor. He also was a member of the medical staffs of Ochsner Medical , Southern Baptist Hospital, Children’s Hospital and Touro Infirmary. He was the Chief of Pediatrics at East Jefferson General Hospital and a visiting staff member at Charity Hospital of Louisiana. In his last few years of practice, he was affiliated with the Ochsner Children’s Centre in Metairie, Louisiana. Dr. Rinker managed to balance his professional career with his commitment to public service. Dedicated to the development and education of children, Dr. Rinker was an active volunteer at his six children’s schools. However, his commitment to education did not end with assistance to his children’s schools. He was elected on a city-wide basis to serve on the Orleans Parish School Board from 1965 to 1971. Philanthropist Edith Stern, along with community leaders, George Denegre, Harry McCall, Jr., Alton Ochsner, Harry B. Kelleher, Mrs. Paul McIlhenny and Suzanne Ormond, persuaded the physician to add to his already significant commitments and run for a seat on the Orleans Parish School Board. His duties, although unpaid, required participation at weekly meetings often lasting late into the night, attendance at numerous graduation ceremonies and constant interaction with students, teachers, parents, principals, unions, architects, contractors, insurers, national, state and city authorities, concerned citizens and the media. During his tenure, he helped lead the New Orleans public school system through the devastation of Hurricane Betsy and major teachers’ labor union strikes. Most notably, he led the Orleans Parish schools through the tumultuous period of integration following Congress’s enactment of the continued... |
