Dear Colleagues,
I need to report a sadness in
the sudden and unexpected death of the husband of our colleague Katherine Brown
(Barry) in Wollongong last week. I have written to Katherine to express
our collective shock and sympathy over John’s death.
Katherine is still working as
public health consultant at Wollongong University and is an associate professor
in sexual health and forensic medicine.
The news came at the same
time as a report from RPAH about the recent deaths of Drs Stuart Renwick and Robert Loblay who many will
remember as our tutors from student days. As our teachers they were a
good deal older, but death always comes as a cruel blow for those who
remain. Shakespeare wrote many words of wisdom about death, some very comforting,
some quite matter-of-fact. I note that earlier this year Drs Peter
Holman, John York and John Turtle had passed away, the former two known to
those with attachments to Rachel Forster Hospital … and each at a good
age.
With best wishes to all,
Andrew Byrne ..
John
