The man who was bigger than life itself. The giant, the doctor, the painter, the potter, the actor, the botanist. He loved nature walks and camping trips, bushcraft and canoeing, folk music and bluegrass. He played every instrument under the sun. Fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, saxophone, piano, tin whistle, accordion, bagpipes... and more... he worked tirelessly and played with equal vigour. Loved and admired in his community by so many, he clearly walked the fine line between madness and genius, like so many of the best artists do. As a palliative care physician, he campaigned, passionately, for 'dying with dignity'. This helps shape the PLP values, encouraging us all to celebrate life, through art, through music, through our connection to each other and to the earth. We remember what's important and why.
