a significant death

This morning i learned that a close friend, an inspiration and the reason i feel the way i do about harm reduction - died.

His loss will be felt by more people that he would ever imagine. There are people alive today, having children of their won, thanks to his vision, compassion, immeasrable bravery and bottomless capacity to care.

Insofar as my career, he is the single most important i have had the pleasure of working alongside.

Goodbye Pat.
