property in Lake Geneva, Wisc. There, he made another fortune raising chickens and built another mansion. In 1951, his naked body was found in a Chicago hotel after a mysterious woman called the hotel physician. The minor contusion on the back of his head was ignored, and the cause of the 58 year old’s death was listed as cardiac arrest. Interestingly, Anthony “Big Tuna” Accardo, well-known as a mobster, had bought Grunow’s Chicago property earlier that year. In the end, the Lois Grunow Memorial Clinic achieved what William had hoped in terms of its medical offerings and research bounty (including a new type of explosive, accidentally discovered by the head physician and used by the U.S. Navy during World War II). The healing continues today. The landmark building has expanded to 51,000 square feet. While Banner – University Medical Center’s Phoenix Campus and Phoenix Children’s Hospital are nearby, it still provides medical accessibility to the neighborhood. And Lois and William still greet patients and visitors as they enter. A 2ND ACT { helping is healing }
