Memorial service at McDaniel recalls Case as passionate educator, adventurer

Memorial service at McDaniel recalls Case as passionate educator, adventurer

Former McDaniel provost climbed in Nepal, ran in Alaska


More than 500 people took time from their Labor Day weekend to fill Big Baker Chapel at McDaniel College on Sept. 1, paying respects at a memorial service for the late Dr. Sam Case.

Case, 70, a longtime Westminster resident, died Aug. 22 at Carroll Hospice Center's Dove House in Westminster, from complications from leukemia

He was a respected and admired professor and coach, who taught human physiology and exercise science courses for nearly four decades at McDaniel College.

Before Case retired from McDaniel in 2004, he served as the school's provost for four years.


Case retired shortly after he was diagnosed with leukemia, a disease he faced with determination — and by going mountain climbing in Nepal.

Classmates, fellow professors, students, wrestlers, football players and distance runners attended the service. After a welcome by Case's son-in-law, James Ellison, colleagues including Dr. Alex Ober, Gary Scholl, Dr. Kathy Mangan, Dr. Sherri Lind Hughes and former McDaniel College President Joan Develin Coley offered tributes to Case.

Case's daughter, Lauren Case, said her dad had cautioned her, "I don't want people sitting around so keep it short."
