Met your dad back in the 1970s when I was a pharmacy student and he was at Buffalo Children’s. Didn’t see him again until approximately 2005 when he and I served on an NIH committee for the Peds Pharm Research Units. On day 1, they served us a large breakfast..we both ate heartily. At lunchtime, your dad who was sitting next to me said “I can’t eat another thing, how about you”..I had to agree. So he and I spent the next 90 minutes “catching up” on 30 years worth of experiences. It was magical and memorable. I got to see him a few more times over the next few years at meetings…and we always had a laugh. He IS the pioneer in Peds Pharm…and one great man!

Dear Ian

Having worked with your Dad for so many years, and talking with him over the phone almost weekly, I will miss his friendship and his asking : well what is new now? And to my answer : Nothing special, at least I do not know, he would say:neither do I. And then we would comment about what was or might happen.
He would mention what you were doing, proud of your many accomplishments,
and those of your siblings.
Please keep in touch y dime que pasa en tu vida.
A big hug,
Charlotte

Though we only knew your Dad socially & only in his later years, we thought the world of him. He was a delightful man and such a tease. We feel lucky to have known him and are glad he has all his children to carry on his name.

Lovely tribute Ian.
Your dad was always in awe of how much you accomplished at such a young age.
He loved you very much.

Ian,
wonderful words for your father.
I had the pleasure to have met him when I was taking care of you and Zak.
I was not aware then what remarkable career and input he had.

You must be very proud to have a father like that.

I know that you were by his side. You indeed were a very good son to him.

As you said, he is in peace now and you and your family should remember all the good memories with him.

Love, Mel
