The Academy is saddened to report that on Saturday, July 16, 2022, Robert S. Asby passed away at the age of 87, surrounded by his loving family.
An audiologist and speech pathologist with nearly 60 years of experience and patient care under his belt, Mr. Asby has been a long-time member of the Academy and leader in organizations such as his established ENT Surgery Group and the Pennsylvania state Academy of Audiology.
He served on the board of directors for both the International Association of Laryngectomees and the Society of Medical Audiology, and always made time for friends and family despite his busy and active schedule.
A full obituary provided by the family can be found here, and they recommend a charitable donation made in his honor to pay respects.
