I will miss Brendan. It felt like an unspoken rule that one did not ask him a question, start a conversation, include him in an email or enter his office without being prepared to spend a LONG time talking/reading the response! And it would be incredibly detailed and factual (statistically significant Brendan may add..) but also peppered with anecdotes from a life that was truly lived. He was well versed in public health medicine and health professions education and his gentle soul, academic curiosity, attention to detail and cheeky/witty but rational responses will be missed in our SHSPH discussions. Rest in peace Prof.
