==============

Maurice Tulchinsky ‘36, ‘37J.D., died September 29, 2001, in South Bend, at the age of 88, following an illness. A life-long resident of South Bend, Mr. Tulchinsky graduated from Central High School at the age of 16, and worked his way through Notre Dame, graduating magna cum laude with his bachelor’s degree and cum laude with his law degree. He practiced law in South Bend for 60 years, beginning his career as deputy prosecutor and later entering in private practice. Among his achievements, he led the drive to desegregate the city’s natatorium in the 1940s. He also held several important positions in the Young Democrats Organization at a time when that organization championed the causes of workers and minorities. Mr. Tulchinsky also belonged to the St. Joseph County Bar Association, the Hebrew Orthodox Congregation, B’nai B’rith and the Robin Hood Men’s Golf Association. He enjoyed music and golf. As a teenager, he had earned a chair in the South Bend Symphony, but the necessities of education and work cut his musical career short. With golf, on the other hand, he pursued the pastime well into his eighties. Near his 70 th birthday, he achieved the golfer’s dream - a hole-in-one. Mr. Tulchinsky is survived by his wife of 59 year s, Ruth; by three sons, including Mark ‘74M.A., and a daughter; and by five grandchildren, including Sarah Baer ‘96B.A. Services were held on October 1. The family requests that memorial contributions be made to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of St. Joseph County, Hospice of St. Joseph County or the Hebrew Orthodox Congregation. Condolences may be sent to Mrs. Tulchinsky at 3022 Essex Drive, South Bend, IN 4661
