PODIATRIST MADE SEASON SPECIAL FOR HIS FAMILY Dr. Ed Mattingly was famous for peppering his speech with little homilies like "Be happy, healthy and straight ahead." Or ending a conversation by saying, "See you on the boat." Growing up, his children heard those and other sayings hundreds of times, but they never got corny. "He always told us, 'There will be mountains and valleys in your lives,' " said his daughter, Jane Smith of nashville. "Daddy was just full of those things." Dr. Mattingly, a prominent Memphis podiatrist, died Saturday of complications from a series of strokes. He was 86. Dr. Mattingly served in World War II as a Navy pharmacist's mate. Afterward, he attended the University of Louisville and the Chicago Podiatry College before moving to Memphis 58 years ago to begin his practice. Dr. Mattingly's career also included the presidencies of both the Southeastern Podiatric Association and the Tennessee Podiatry Association. He was also a member of the Fellowship of the American College of Foot Surgeons. Dr. Mattingly served on the boards of the Alzheimer's Day Services, St. Peter Villa, the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association, among others. His family remembers him as an active man who loved tennis and boating, a man called "Poppy" by his grandchildren. "He was very kind, a very generous man, but he didn't tout that," Smith said. "He had a quiet strength." They also remember him as a huge fan of Memphis basketball and Tennessee football, something that came in handy for one daughter when she first started dating boys. "I'm an avid sports fan, and so was daddy," said daughter Sue Ellen Haaga of Memphis. "Guys would laugh and say, 'You're a great date because you know everything about the game.' " It's also bittersweet for the family that Dr. Mattingly died around the time of his favorite holiday. "He loved Christmas. He would always wear his red tartan plaid pants. He would sing around the house, all the Christmas carols," Smith said. "Every year, we would open presents on Christmas morning, and he'd open champagne and we would toast each other." In addition to his daughters, Dr. Mattingly is survived by his wife of 60 years, Charlene Mattingly; a son, Dr. Jay Mattingly of Memphis; a brother, Johnson Mattingly of Little Rock, Ark.; and nine grandchildren. Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m. Friday at Memorial Park Funeral Home. A funeral mass will be at noon Saturday at St. Louis Catholic Church.
