Dr. Thomas Lovitt of Kirkland finished the arrangements to create a music scholarship at the University of Kansas to honor his late wife of 58 years in what he feels was the nick of time.
Just days later, last fall, the 81-year-old UW College of Education professor emeritus was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
“I still don’t know how much longer I have to hang around,” he said earlier this week, exactly one year after the death of his wife, Polly Owen Lovitt. “It’s been tough this year, and I think a lot of times, why am I living? My whole purpose since her death is to honor her.”
