ASHLAND —
A longtime SUNY Oneonta, N.Y., philosophy professor with Ashland ties died Tuesday after being struck by a car in Hawaii a day earlier.
Douglas Shrader Jr., 57, of Oneonta, went for walk Monday night and did not return, said his mother, Ann Shrader of North Carolina.
He was struck by a car, hit his head on the pavement and died the following day from the injury, Shrader said Wednesday.
The car that struck 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.

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 and graduated from Paul G. Blazer High School in 1971 and attended Virginia Polytechnic institute, where he earned a bachelor’s degree. He went on to get his master’s degree and Ph.D 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.
Shrader’s parents, Douglas Shrader Sr. and Ann Shrader, live in Kill Devil Hills, N.C., but were longtime Ashland residents. Ann was a teacher at Holy Family and Blazer.
