A long-time SUNY Oneonta philosophy professor died Tuesday after being struck by a car in Hawaii a day earlier.
Douglas Shrader, 57, of Oneonta went for walk Monday night and did not return, his mother, Ann Shrader, of North Carolina said.
He was struck by a car, hit his head on the pavement and died the following day, Ann Shrader said Wednesday.
The car that struck Douglas Shrader was exiting a gas station and was driven by a 22-year-old woman. Shrader hit his head when he was knocked down, according to The Star Advertiser newspaper, citing a police report.
A distinguished teaching professor of philosophy, Shrader was chairman of the State University College at Oneonta Philosophy Department from 1986 to 1991 and from 1993 to 2008.
He joined the faculty at the college in 1979 and served several administrative positions there over the years in addition to his academic duties.
Shrader grew up in Ashland, Ky., and attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute, where he earned a bachelor’s degree. He went on to get his master’s degree and doctorate from the University of Illiniois at Chicago. Shrader and his wife, Barbara Donahoe Shrader, were visiting their daughter Callie Doan, who lives in Hawaii.
Shrader authored more than a dozen books and scores of articles and other contributions in several areas of study.
“I’m proud of his career accomplishments and his devotion to his family,” his mother said.
