I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for knowing Eldryd. He was just so interested in people as well as being passionate, wise, caring, and having a sense of fun. I, like so many others, will miss Eldryd, but the rich memories are a constant blessing. Eldryd was a colleague, friend, brother, mentor and to be honest, my hero. Aside from my wife Sue, no other person has had such an impact on my life. Way back in 1999, Eldryd gave encouragement for our first trip to Somaliland that opened the door to King’s and THET’s health partnership with our colleagues in Somaliland. Our trip together to Somaliland in 2005 was especially memorable. More recently, Eldryd played a leading role in the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery and took such an interest in global health developments across our university.
