Lewis Ned Cahill, 84, of Blairsville died peacefully at home August 11, 2013, surrounded by his family. Ned was born on May 5, 1929 in Glens Falls, NY, the elder son of the late Jerry and Ethel Cahill. After graduating from Colgate University, he attended Albany Medical College, receiving the MD degree in 1955.
He served for nine years as a physician in the US Navy, at Naval hospitals in Chelsea, MA; Camp Lejeune, NC; and Bethesda, MD. In 1961, while he was stationed at Camp Lejeune, he was transferred to the Bethesda Naval Hospital to serve as physician for the families of the newly elected President John F. Kennedy and Vice-President Lyndon Johnson at Camp David. He retired from the Navy in 1964 as a Lieutenant Commander, and began a 36-year private practice in internal medicine in Bethesda, MD.
In 2000, Ned and his wife, retired from MD to Blairsville, GA to join family and enjoy mountain living. He came out of retirement for a time, working as a physician in Blairsville, but decided retirement was too much fun to pass up. An avid bridge player since college, he played regularly with the Appalachian Bridge Club until illness forced him to give it up. He enjoyed classical music, was an active member and former vestryman at St. Clare's Episcopal Church, and was a frequent student in a variety of ICL courses at Young Harris College. Most of all he enjoyed reading. It was often said that he never met a book he didn't like.
