The Mayo Clinic Alumni Association remembers Robert L. Frye, M.D., professor emeritus of Cardiovascular Medicine, who passed away Aug. 4 at age 94.

Dr. Frye helped shape the field of cardiovascular medicine through his pioneering work in coronary angiography and through visionary leadership and mentorship that inspired generations of cardiologists.

His contributions to Mayo Clinic and to cardiovascular medicine extend far beyond his scientific achievements. He leaves a lasting legacy of innovation, leadership, and service.
