Abstract: The Society notes with sadness the passing of Dr Claude Arnaud, who died of cancer March 17, 2016, at his home in Woodacre, CA, at the age of 86 years. He is survived by his wife Deborah Krupp, son Michael, and daughter Ellen. Known to all simply as Claude, he was a founder of the ASBMR and its third president (1981–82), who served the Society faithfully from its beginning days. He was internationally recognized for his research in bone and mineral metabolism, particularly in the measurement, biochemistry, physiology, and mechanism of action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and parathyroid hormone‐related peptide (PTHrP). He authored more than 300 scientific publications and influenced the careers of countless graduate students, residents, endocrine fellows, and colleagues through his long and impactful career. Born in Hackensack, NJ, in 1929, Claude graduated from Columbia College and New York Medical College. He was a medical resident at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City for one year before induction into the US Navy, serving for two years on Saipan as lieutenant commander, chief medical officer, and CIA operative. The latter assignment became the source of many colorful and imaginative stories over the years. After leaving the Navy, Claude completed his internal medicine residency at the Milwaukee County Hospital, then one year of endocrinology fellowship, followed by three years of training in biochemistry and endocrinology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
