The Editor, Sir:

I would like to use this medium to express my sadness regarding the passing of Professor Charles Denbow on February 10.

Professor Denbow epitomised the integrity, character and personality that all medical professionals and Jamaicans, in general, should seek to emulate. He was brilliant, but humble.

To the students he taught from the many classes of the University of the West Indies' medical school, he was an icon, able to address us all (from memory) by our full names even years after he had taught us. He had the expert gift of imparting the very complex aspects of cardiology, using very simple concepts for his students to comprehend.

Thanks

I join all the persons whose lives he touched in saying thanks to Professor Denbow. He has left an indelible mark in all our lives, which we will endeavour to emulate in our profession and in life in general.

I wish to express my deepest condolences to the bereaved family in this, their time of grief.

I am, etc.,

Dr ROMAYNE EDWARDS
