The U.S. Navy sent Pax to Princeton University, and then to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He spent 1951 to 1953 in Germany in the U.S. Army.

He was chief of neurosurgery at OHSU from 1966 to 1991, where he was a respected professor and surgeon. While successful in his career, it was home and family that mattered most to Pax. He and Ann were married at her parents' home in Scarsdale, N.Y., in March 1955. They moved to Portland in 1956 and had three children, Barbara, Richard and Kathy. While on sabbatical in Kenya in 1974, Pax worked at Kenyatta National Hospital, leading a team that founded the first neurosurgical unit in East Africa. During a second sabbatical in 1982, Pax reenlisted in the army to practice at the 2nd General Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, rising to the rank of colonel. After his retirement, The Harold D.
