Suzman The Population Division of the U.S. Census Bureau wishes to express our deep gratitude and pay tribute to Dr. Richard M. Suzman, director of Division of Behavioral and Social Research, National Institute on Aging, who passed away on April 16, 2015. A pioneer and champion for the science of population aging, Dr. Suzman played a critical role in developing the aging research program in the Population Division. For over three decades he steadfastly supported numerous Census Bureau publications focused on population aging trends and demographic, socioeconomic, and health characteristics of the older populations in the United States and the world. Enormously popular report series such as 65+ in the United States and An Aging World are a remarkable testimony to Dr. Suzman’s dedication to research on population aging which, in his words, is reshaping our world.
