DR. THOMAS J. COOGAN, MAYOR DALEY'S PHYSICIAN

Mass for Dr. Thomas J. Coogan Jr., 52, a specialist in internal 
medicine and cardiology and the personal physician for the Richard 
J. Daley family, will be said at 11 a.m. Tuesday in Saints Faith, 
Hope and Charity Catholic Church, Linden Avenue and Hill Road, 
Winnetka.

Dr. Coogan, a Winnetka resident, died Saturday in Rush-Presbyterian-
St. Luke's Medical Center.

He practiced from offices on North Michigan Avenue. Mayor Daley 
died during a visit to his office in December, 1976.

Dr. Coogan continued a family tradition of more than half a century 
of medical service at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's. His late father
was the first president of the medical staff when the three 
institutions merged years ago. A chair in immunology at the 
institution was created in honor of Dr. Thomas J. Coogan Sr. in 
1971.

After receiving an undergraduate degree from Holy Cross College, 
in Worcester, Mass., Dr. Coogan earned his medical degree from St. 
Louis University.

While serving as a flight surgeon in the Navy in the early 1960s, 
Dr. Coogan was in charge of the medical services for the wounded 
during the rescue evacuation after the abortive "Bay of Pigs" 
operation in Cuba in 1961.

He joined the staff of Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's in 1964 after 
his internship and residency there.  Until his recent bout with 
cancer, Dr. Coogan was a senior attending physician at Rush-
Presbyterian-St. Luke's and a associate professor of medicine at 
its medical college.

He is survived by his wife, Carol; four sons, Michael Lawson, James 
Kevin, Thomas James III and Christopher Lee; his mother, Evelyn B.; 
and two sisters.
