  • Obituary

    Morris Brodwin, Ph.D., age 90, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2014 in Evanston. Born in New York in 1924 to Harry and Sarah Brodwin, Morris showed great academic promise at an early age. In World War II, the Army deployed him to help develop radar technology. After earning a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Johns Hopkins, he joined the faculty of Northwestern University. Over his long and distinguished career there as a microwave expert, he received numerous awards and honors for both research and teaching. Morris survived his beloved first wife, Esther (nee Hashkowitz) who died tragically in 1969, his long-time companion Esther Yochim, and his younger sister Frances who died in childhood. He is survived by his older sister, Beatrice (the late Hyman) Meyerson of New York; his former wife, Carol Sonnenschein of Chicago; his sons, Paul Brodwin (Huong Dangvu) of Milwaukee and David Brodwin (Debra Niemann) of San Francisco, and his granddaughter, Rachel Brodwin of New Haven. Morris pursued his many hobbies with gusto. He played guitar well; with his first wife he sang a repertoire from Woody Guthrie to Joni Mitchell. He skippered his home-built sailboat at Lake Delavan and Skokie Lagoon. He created electronic gear for the home, and never replaced devices he could repair. He grew vegetables in his garden and his flowering plants brightened the house in winter. He devoured mysteries from Skokie Public Library. A passionate cook, he built an impressive collection of Julia Childs videos, and his kitchen held diverse and obscure cooking implements. An amateur wine maker and brewer, he had zinfandel grapes trucked in from California to ferment. Perhaps Morris' greatest contribution was to help young people develop their intellectual skills. He inspired his sons to academic and professional excellence. He was loved and respected by his students at Northwestern, many of whom went on to distinguished academic careers of their own.
