Edward B. Solomon, 75, a Menlo Park psychiatrist, slipped underwater while swimming on Saturday afternoon at Sugar Lake, Minnesota, and despite rescue efforts, died the following day at a hospital on July 22.

His wife of 44 years, Mary Solomon, said that as she pulled him out of the lake he looked peaceful, the Parkinson's disease he'd had for two decades finally gone.

A Jungian analyst, Dr. Solomon retired from private practice five years ago, according to his wife. He was born in Montreal and educated at McGill University in Canada before completing a residency in psychiatry at Stanford University.

Ms. Solomon said he enjoyed golfing, skiing and dancing. Lately, he'd acquired a taste for pool, walking to Little House to play a round, as the Parkinson's disease began making golf too difficult.

In addition to his wife, Dr. Solomon is survived by daughters Catherine Solomon and Justine Keefer; two grandsons, five nieces and nephews; and caregiver Ana Ramirez. The family is planning a memorial gathering.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to "PD Dance," a class offered by the Parkinson's Institute at 675 Almanor Ave., Sunnyvale CA 94085.
