Oliver E. Clubb, Jr. died on May 28th following a brief illness and complications from a fall. Ollie was an advocate, an activist, a teacher and a true friend to many. He had a deep relationship with nature and an abiding belief and respect for its restorative powers. His dear friend and colleague Tom Walsh noted, "Ollie believed that an afternoon by a beautiful stream was the equivalent of years of therapy. He and John Muir surely share DNA." Ollie was an early voice in the climate change discussions and was very committed to environmental sustainability, global peace and social justice. As an early peace activist, he led the teach-in movement at Syracuse University to express opposition to how the war in Vietnam was being conducted. This activism continued throughout his life and ranged from his work against nuclear proliferation to acting as the Co-Chair of the Syracuse Global Warming Action Network to his enthusiastic support of solar parking lot canopies. His life was a reflection of his commitment to doing what he felt was right for humanity - right up until the end. He was an avid outdoorsman and his enthusiasm influenced those around him - he gave them no choice! He preferred a bike over a car any day and spent much time hiking all over the world including multiple trips throughout Southeast Asia, Europe and, closer to home, the beloved family refuge in The Catskills Mountains - The Bear Patch. He spent many days with friends and family sailing his boat or paddling his canoe in New York and off the coast of Maine. As a gifted photographer, his camera was always with him on his travels. His stunning photographs are an important part of his legacy. He had a deep commitment to his Syracuse community and truly lived his belief that individuals and small groups could change the world. He loved healthy debates and discussions and opened his home to host monthly potlucks for a variety of friends to share ideas on climate change, urban planning and political topics of the day. He was an ardent supporter of a variety of local organizations including the Syracuse Real Food Co-op, the Westcott Teen center, Petit Branch Library, The Baltimore Woods Nature Center and the preservation of the Onondaga Creek corridor. Oliver spent most of his career on the faculty at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University as Director of South Asia studies. While there, he spent several years in India helping to build the Maxwell presence. He also spent a period teaching at the Syracuse campus in Florence, Italy.
