A mentor, a leader and a father. You taught me about cigars, wine, and the important things: people, teamwork, patient care, surgery, having a routine, not fixing what isn’t broken.
Gone, but you still live on in all of us who have had the grace and good fortune to learn from you.
For those of us in Orthopaedics, we thank you for your innovations of cancellous titanium, partially coated anatomic stems, bone type, computer and robotic surgery, and the spinopelvic relationship, amongst the many. These innovations have improved so many lives.
I will do my best to make sure your legacy of Operation Walk lives on.
