sections of his papers are always brimming with ideas, thought provoking and creative. A consistent feature of the work is novelty, whether it is a simple solution to a practical problem, or an inspirational idea that leads to new avenues of research. An example of the former is the simple but elegant method Dr. Patton devised to separate milk-fat globules from skim-milk components in a single step by density gradient centrifugation (Patton, S., and Huston, G.E. (1986) Lipids, 21, 170-174). An example of the latter is the introduction of bioactive compounds into the mammary gland by infusion through the streak canal (Patton, S. (1974) EBS Lett., 48, 85-87). This idea spawned a series of papers from several investigators on the cellular mechanism of milk secretion and opens up the possibility of genetically modifying the mammary gland by the in vivo transfection of mammary epithelial cells with recombinant DNA."

Richard, who both went on to successful careers in the sciences, each of them writing dissertations under colleagues of their father. And, coming full circle, in some of his final research he collaborated with R. V. Josephson, son of his first mentor at Penn State in the 1940s. A scholarship is named in honor of D. V. Josephson and Patton at Penn State, awarded to graduate students and faculty on a yearly rotating basis.
