note = "Funding Information: Professor George J. Yevick died on October 6 at the Princeton Hospital at the age of 89. He was born in Berwick, PA the next to the last of 8 siblings. His father John Yevick, a native of Carpatho-Russia, was a steel worker at the American Car and Foundry Company, unemployed during the Depression. George borrowed money from Mr. Leisenring, a local mine owner and his scoutmaster, to help pay the tuition at MIT where he majored in physics. He obtained his bachelor{\textquoteright}s degree in 1943 and then joined the Radiation Laboratory in war research on wave guides. He earned his Doctor of Science at MIT in 1947 under Professor Vicky Weisskopf and was appointed Professor of Physics at the Stevens Institute of Technology where he taught until retirement in 1990. His research on the many-body problem yielded the well-known Percus-Yevick Equation in the theory of liquids, co-authored with Professor Jerome Percus of the Courant Institute. He designed, constructed and experimented with a Thermo-Nuclear Energy device funded by the NSF at the Stevens Institute. He was the author of a variety of some 40 patents, among which an optical reader and data storage device invented together with Dr. Adnan Wally was featured on the front page of New York Times in 1975. He also contested for a Democratic congressional seat in the democratic primary in Bergen County in 1964.",
