Bertram Walter “Bert” Maidment, Jr. passed away peacefully in his home in Overland Park, KS surrounded by his immediate family on May 7, 2024. Bert was born in Newark, NJ on January 25, 1947, to Bertram Walter Maidment, Sr. and Catherine Logan Maidment. Bert spent his earliest years in Springfield, NJ before his family moved to Florham Park, which Bert always thought of as his “home town”. Bert played soccer in college as a Red Devil of Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. He insisted that “back then” soccer was a legitimate contact sport. He loved ice hockey, whether as a player, coach, or spectator and would argue that hockey is not a sport, but rather a disease. However, it was not a disease which he endeavored to cure, as he did so many others during the course of his career. Bert loved science and relished any opportunity to learn. After graduating from Dickinson with a B.S. in Biology, he pursued a Master’s Degree in Natural Sciences - Oncology, then a PhD in Experimental Pathology at the Roswell Park Memorial Institute of the State University of New York in Buffalo, NY. His multi-faceted professional career included biomedical device development, founding of small startup companies, government service, time in private industry as Director of Life Sciences and VP of Corporate Business Development for Midwest Research Institute (now MRIGlobal), culminating with his final full-time professional role as the Associate Director for Radiation Countermeasures and Emergency Preparedness with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). After retirement, he lovingly dabbled in a consultancy role which gave him the great joy of “getting back into the science” with whichever project stirred his inquisitive passions. Bert battled idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for more than 6 ½ years. During this time, he was an inspiration to many. He was a board member of the Kansas City Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Despite requiring supplemental oxygen, he took on the American Lung Association’s Kansas City Fight for Air Climb four years in a row, raising significant funds to support lung disease research in the process. Bert met the love of his life, Mary Jane, at age 16 in Florham Park, NJ. After a decade they were married and remained so for more than 50 years up until his passing. He greeted everyone with a warm smile, and sometimes a wink. He was a man of great integrity, with a sharp wit and a penchant for puns. He relished any opportunity to play his guitar or tell one of his many amusing stories. He was a deeply devoted husband, father, and friend. He truly adored his wife and considered his children and grandchildren to be his greatest achievements. Even in his final days, Bert retained his warm and inviting nature and never lost his engaging sense of humor. Bert was preceded in death by his parents Bert Sr. and Catherine, sisters Norma Bourdin and Alice Beck. He is survived by his devoted wife Mary Jane, his daughter Bevin Parker (Fort Collins, CO) and her husband Marc, grandsons Cameron and Henry; his son Bert III (Overland Park, KS) and his wife Christa, grandson Logan, and granddaughters Brynna and Kenna.
