Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists Bulletin Fall 2016 - 51

In Memoriam Raymond M. Sugiyama 1938-2016 Dr. Allan Sheridan American Canyon, CA Abstract Dr. Ray Sugiyama passed away in May 2016 from a lung disease that made every day of life more difficult, to the point of his being too exhausted to pursue his love of fly fishing, which he did all over the world. Ray lectured and taught in the graduate orthodontic program at Loma Linda for 40 years. He excelled in teaching clinical excellence and treating for long-term stability. Ray had a passion to lead and serve with dignity. In the fall of 2005, Dr. Ray Sugiyama was featured in the PCSO Bulletin's "Portrait of a Professional." Ray passed away in May 2016, just 11 years later, from a lung disease that made every day of life more difficult, to the point of his being too exhausted to pursue his love of fly fishing, which he did all over the world. Being of Japanese descent, Ray's life as a child was not easy. He was forced to move to a relocation center in Arizona with guards and a gun tower. Ray referred to this as the same as being in a concentration camp. Ray's family moved to Long Beach, CA, where much prejudice existed both before and after the war. Such prejudice caused the loss of one of Ray's younger brothers, which had debilitating results on his father. It was up to Ray's mother to raise the family. Ray was a top athlete at Long Beach Poly, where he played football and ran track as a sprinter. He continued his track career at Long Beach State, where he was named captain of the track team. Ray was named most likely to succeed in high school and elected student body president. After graduation, Ray joined the Army and served as a dental technician. The officers he worked for saw his beautifully detailed work and suggested that he study hard in college and go to dental school. Fall 2016  PCSO Bulletin Ray studied very hard, got excellent grades, and after graduation was accepted to dental school at Case Western Reserve Dental School in Cleveland, OH. I was Ray's classmate in dental school, sitting next to him for four years. I can personally attest to the beautiful work that Ray did. Every time I felt I had created a masterpiece, I would show him- and then I saw his work, with better anatomy and a very fine shine from one of his secret polishing agents! Ray was a top student- academically and clinically- and was elected to OKU upon graduation. After graduation, Ray joined the Coast Guard. He served the dental needs of the men up and down the California coast for the next two years. After finishing his military obligation, Ray applied and was accepted as a resident to the graduate orthodontic department at Loma Linda University. Ray excelled in his residency and after graduation started a very successful orthodontic practice in Los Alamitos, CA. Ray got to know all his staff and all his patients, including parents and siblings. He loved his patients and became a mentor for all. Ray dedicated his life to service and became president of many fine organizations, including the Harbor Dental Society, The Bioprogressive Orthodontic Study Group (later known as the Academy of Orthodontic Excellence [AOE]), and the Orange Coast Orthodontic Study Club. Ray became certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and was asked to show his 15 beautiful cases at the AAO meeting in St. Louis. He was also elected President of the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics and became a speaker at the AAO Annual Session in Boston in 1981. 51
