Dr. Prem Seth
Dr. Prem Seth, age 66 of Glenview, Illinois, brimmed with knowledge, compassion, and a keen innate perceptiveness which he used to solve issues and problems for everyone, large and small.
His professional accomplishments speak for themselves.
Dr. Prem Seth was a role model. As the Director of Gene Therapy Program and Professor of Medicine at Northshore Research Institute, Northwestern University, and the University of Chicago, Dr. Seth led a devoted group of scientists to develop treatments for cancer.

He is truly missed. Still coming to terms with reality that he is no more. He was a role model to his extended family! His compassion and kindness will always be remembered.
