Dr. Ronald Cape
Cape Dr. Ronald It is with sad hearts that the family announces his passing on Sunday, January 4 at age 82. Ron was born in Montreal in October 1932 to Fan and Victor Cape. After graduating high school in Montreal, Ron went to Princeton where he got his B.S. in Chemistry, graduating summa cum laude. He continued his higher education at the Harvard Business School, with a masters in business administration, again graduating summa cum laude. Then he obtained his Ph.D in biochemistry at McGill, and completed his broad education with a Post Doctoral fellowship at the molecular biology and virus laboratory at UCBerkeley. Ron then turned all this learning to the budding fields of biotech and genetic engineering, cofounding Cetus Corporation in 1971. It was a world leader in those fields during his tenure as CEO, but his professional and scientific activities were many and varied beyond his role at Cetus and his other business ventures thereafter. Ron served on many boards, including the boards of Rockefeller University, the Whitehead Institute, the Natural Science & Technology Medal Foundation, Scientific American, Neutrogena Corporation, as well as many other prestigious boards. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Science, a Fellow at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the Board of Regents of the National Library of Medicine. In addition to the sciences and business, he was also a trustee of various arts organizations, and he supported all of the arts especially The SF Opera board where he was a member since 1990. Ron received numerous awards and recognitions for these various scientific achievements and philanthropies. But despite all of it, he was and always remained a humble man. Ronald Cape was a man of tremendous intellect, kindness, and generosity, and also of quiet humor. But above all, Ron loved people but especially his family. He was a devoted husband, a devoted father, a devoted grandfather, a devoted brother, and a devoted uncle and friend. He will be profoundly missed by his wife Libi, his two daughters Jackie and Julie and their spouses Grant and Arnie, by his beloved grandchildren Sammie, Alec, Seth, Tory, Ali and Zach, by his brother and sister-in-law Michael and Maureen, his nieces and nephews Sharon, David and Victoria, Robbie and Bonnie (Godel) and by many others whose lives he touched and enriched. The family would also like to express their deep appreciation to the staff at the Irene Swindell Residential Facility and to his special caregiver Amor for all their excellent medical care through Ron's final illness. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday January 6, 2015 at Congregation Emanu-el, 2 Lake Street, San Francisco, at 11:30 am. Interment will follow at Home of Peace Cemetery, 1299 El Camino Real, Colma. Michael will be sitting shiva at 2333 Sherbrooke St W Friday afternoon through Sunday evening.
