Dear Janet and Linda too
Biggest hugs. Lindsay was a true legend and he passes with the fondest memories of not only being a magnificent human being but the one of the coolest. I´ll never forget Lindsay, his mentorship and all the great things he did, his kindness, sense of humour, the part he played in NZ medicine. I have so many fond memories of Obex, working with Lindsay, conferences, dinners and events. I regret I couldn´t be there today to pay my respects, but just know I have and that he was so special and I am grateful to have known him and worked for him, with Linda and Obex.
