Gastonia, NC - Dr. Raymond Morris Lupse, 64, passed away Friday, June 5, 2009.
Ray was born in Youngstown August 23, 1944, a son of the late Dr. Raymond Simon Lupse and Martha Morris Lupse.
He graduated from Poland Seminary High School in 1962 and was a former member of the Poland United Methodist Church.
He received his Bachelor of Science in 1966 at Ohio University, Athens, OH. He then attended George Washington University where he earned his Master of Science in 1968, Master of Philosophy in 1972, and Doctor of Philosophy in 1973. He obtained his Doctor of Medicine in 1977 at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH.
Dr. Lupse published various papers during his residency at Emory University Affiliated Hospitals in Atlanta, GA, his fellowship at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, and while serving on the faculty at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, IL. He also completed pre-doctoral research at the University of Gottingen: Institute of Animal Genetics, Gottingen, Germany in 1970 and doctoral research at Agricultural Research Council, Unit of Reproductive Physiology and Biochemistry, Cambridge, England in 1972-1973. Throughout his career he served on numerous committees both as a professional and as a community leader.
Dr. Lupse was in private practice in Gastonia, NC, serving patients in Gynecology, Gynecologic Surgery, and Gynecologic Oncology Surgery from 1988-2008 and was a member of active staff at Gaston Memorial Hospital during that period. He was proud to be elected Chief of Staff and a member of the Board of Directors from 1999-2001. In 2009, he was also elected to the Emeritus Medical Staff and Honorary Staff, a designation for physicians of outstanding reputation.
