Dr. J. Donald Temple, a beloved hematologist and longtime member of the Miller School of Medicine family, passed away on April 26, leaving behind a legacy of dedication and excellence in medical education. Born and raised in Miami, Dr. Temple joined the University of Miami as an undergraduate in 1972 and went on to become a respected faculty member in the Division of Hematology/Oncology.

Throughout his career, Dr. Temple made significant contributions to the field of hematology, particularly in the areas of red cell disorders and hematologic malignancies. His research on sickle cell disease, supported by National Institutes of Health funding, has had a lasting impact on the medical community.

Beyond his research, Dr. Temple’s true passion lay in teaching. He was a highly respected educator, known for his exceptional teaching skills and dedication to his students. His commitment to medical education was recognized through numerous awards, including the Faculty Senate Outstanding Teaching Award and the George Paff Teaching Award.

Dr. Temple’s influence extended beyond the classroom, as he also served as director of the Harrington Training Programs for Latin America, training thousands of medical students, residents, and faculty members from the region. His dedication to global medical education exemplified the University of Miami’s mission as an international center for education.

Colleagues and students remember Dr. Temple for his geniality, humility, and unwavering commitment to his patients and students. His passing has left a void in the medical community, but his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of physicians. Memorial services in honor of Dr. Temple will be held on June 1 at the Stanfill Funeral Home in Miami.
