Gainesville, FL (November 27, 2007) - Dr. J. Robert
Cade, the legendary University of Florida scientist who led the
research team that gave the world Gatorade, died Tuesday at Shands at
UF medical center. He was 80.“Today, with his passing, the University of Florida lost a legend,
lost one of its best friends and lost a creative genius,” said Dr.
Edward Block, chairman of the department of medicine in the College of
Medicine, where Cade was an emeritus professor. “Losing any one of
those is huge. When you lose all three in one person, it’s something
you cannot recoup.”
