This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Rick Chilgren who was born in Wisconsin on February 4, 1937 and passed away on July 17, 2011.
Richard Allen Chilgren (Rick) died on Sunday July 17, 2011, in Lihue, Hawaii where he has been living for about 25 years. Rick died of Stage 4 Liver and Lung Cancer, following years of fighting a crippling back injury incurred while employed as the resident MD on a cruise ship around the Hawaiian Islands. (Yes, he was once the doc on a Love Boat!)
Rick was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on February 4, 1937. He is survived by his brother, Paul Chilgren. Their parents are both deceased.
Rick was the first Director of the Program in Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota. He is remembered as an amazing man who was full of dreams and visions which laid the foundation for a vibrant Program that continues to thrive to this day.
