Notable deaths last week Former Shedd board president; '2001' author; director Aswrinlrti I'nas John Shedd Reed, a former railroad executive and grandson of a famed Chicago philanthropist, died Sunday. He was 90. Reed, one-time chairman and CEO of the Santa Fe Railroad, died of natural causes at his suburban Lake Forest home after being bedridden for several weeks, family members said. Reed carried a passion for trains from childhood.

When he was only 4 years old, he spoke of becoming a locomotive engineer. After graduating from Yale, he applied for an engineer's job despite coming from one of Illinois' most privileged families. His grandfather, John G. Shedd, made his fortune in the early 20th century as president of the retail giant Marshall Field Co. and founded Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.

As board president of the Shedd Aquarium from 1984 to 1994, Reed excelled as a fundraiser. He played a central role in raising money for the Shedd's popular Oceanarium marine mammal addition; it opened in 1991 and was credited with turning around the aquarium's fortunes. Obie Clark, a former NAACP chapter president who helped protect black churches in the 1960s and later sought to get the Confederate battle emblem removed from the state flag, has died. He was 75. He died Wednesday at Jeff Anderson Regional Medical Center in Meridian, Miss.

Friends said Clark had cancer. He led the Meridian chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from 1969 to 2003. Paul Scofleld, the towering British stage actor who won international fame and an Academy Award for the film "A Man for All Seasons," has died. He was 86. Scofield died Wednesday in a hospital near his home in southern England, agent Rosalind Chatto said.

He had been suffering from leukemia. Scofield made few films even after the Oscar for his 1966 portrayal of Tudor statesman Sir Thomas More, He was a stage actor by inclination and by his gifts a dramatic, craggy face and an unforgettable voice that was likened to a Rolls Royce starting up or the rumbling sound of low organ pipes. Arthur C. Clarke, a visionary science fiction writer who co-wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey" and won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, has died. He was 90.

Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s, died Wednesday in his adopted home of Sri Lanka after breathing problems, aide Rohan De Suva said. Co-author with Stanley Kubrick of Kubrick's film "2001: A Space Odyssey," Clarke was regarded as far more than a science fiction writer. Some of his best-known books are "Childhood's End," 1953; "The City and The Stars," 1956; "The Nine Billion Names of God," 1967; "Rendezvous with Rama," 1973; "Imperial Earth," 1975; and "The Songs of Distant Earth," 1986. Ivan Dixon, an actor, director and producer best known for his role as Kinchloe in the television series "Hogan's Heroes," has died. He was 76.

Dixon died Sunday at a Charlotte hospital after suffering a hemorrhage and from complications from kidney failure, said his daughter, Doris Nomathande Dixon. He was probably best known for the role of U.S. Staff Sgt. James Kinchloe on "Hogan's Heroes," a satire set in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. Kinchloe, in charge of electronic communications, could mimic German officers on the radio or phone.

Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella, who turned such literary works as "The English Patient," "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain" into acclaimed movies, has died of a hemorrhage following surgery. He was 54. Minghella's publicist, Jonathan Rutter, said the filmmaker died Tuesday at London's Charing Cross Hospital. Minghella was operated on last week for a growth in his neck, he said.

The 1996 World War II drama "The English Patient" won nine Academy Awards, including best picture, best director for Minghella and best supporting actress for Juliette Binoche. Minghella also was nominated for an Oscar for best screenplay for "The Talented Mr. The Rev. Jacob Daniel "Jake" DeShazer, one of the members of the historic Doolittle Raid on Japan during World War II, has died. He was 95.

He died Saturday at his Salem home. Ruth Kutrakun, the youngest of DeShazer's children, confirmed the death. After spending 40 months as a prisoner of war following the raid, DeShazer returned to Japan intent on forgiving his former captors and converting them to Christianity. Over 30 years, he helped start 23 churches in Japan. Ameriquest Mortgage founder Roland Arnall, a billionaire who became a symbol of the subprime lending industry he helped create, died Monday.

He was 68. He died of cancer at UCLA Medical Center, his family said. The Paris-born Arnall once sold flowers on the street corners of Los Angeles but over the years built a real estate and financial services fortune that transformed him into one of the nation's wealthiest individuals. A major Republican financier with ties to President Bush, he was appointed ambassador to the Netherlands in 2006 after an approval process that was slowed by unsettled issues regarding Ameriquest, the California-based lending company Arnall founded in 1979. Arnall's fortune was estimated at $1.5 billion by Forbes magazine last year.

Ola Brunkert, a former drummer for the Swedish pop band ABBA, was found dead Sunday. He was 62. Brunkert hit his head against a glass door in his dining room, shattering the glass and cutting himself in the neck, a Civil Guard spokesman told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. He managed to wrap a towel around his neck and left the house to seek help but collapsed in the garden of his home on the island of Mallorca. Hall of Fame defenseman Ken Heardon has died following a long illness, the Montreal Canadiens announced Saturday night.

He was 86. Noted for his rugged play, Reardon was a two-time NHL first team All-Star during his seven-year career, which included a pair of Stanley Cup championships. He also earned three second-team All-Star selections and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966..
