I’m a better person for just knowing you!

We were residents together on the Harvard II-IV service at BCH. You were always there for everyone. I miss being able to share our lives after BCH.
Best wishes!

I’ve never forgotten

Richard would have been 80 this year, likely retired with a family of his own. We were fellow interns at BCH. He was on the II & IV (Harvard) service and I was on the I & III (Tufts). Bittersweet memories of a wonderful young man whose life was far too short.

Great teacher

Richard was my resident at BCH Harvard service. He was a great person as well as a greet doctor. I have one of his medical books as a gift from his mother . He correctly assessed me as hard to get to know and I have tried to be less reserves since he said that. David Smith Oyer MD

honoring you...

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
