Getting lost along the corridors within the buildings of City University was a regular thing for me. I first met Stan on one of those days in 2018. I stopped him to ask for direction, and he said: "come with me, I'd lead the way, maybe we can find your lecture room".
I had no idea that I was rushing to attend his tutorial. His sense of humour was unique, although he was a no-nonsense tutor. His class was always interactive because he enabled students to explore different thinking pathways to enhance learning.
I later found out that Stan was my personal tutor. He was kind and supportive; he would make himself available despite his busy schedules. My last meeting with him was a telephone conversation when completing my PAD was very challenging, and he was there to support me. It was a privilege to know him.
Dear Dr Stan, I thought you would be here when I finish my course to tell you how I transferred knowledge from 'the public health walk' (health inequality & social determinants of health) to the 'communities & health' module. I hoped to explain how tapping into people's lived experiences helped me to embrace a compassionate attitude towards care in practice, but you are now gone. May your soul rest in perfect peace. I pray to God to strengthen your family at this difficult time.
