Christopher Courtney Gates M.D.

So sorry to see this. Dr. Gates was a great friend for over 15 years. I will miss him dearly. One of the finest men I ever knew.

Chris was a wonderful friend and doctor.
He’ll be greatly missed.

Chris was a fine gentleman, caring and supportive physician and highly valued colleague. He is fondly remembered by those of us who were honored to know him at the Brigham and elsewhere in Boston.

Cousin Chris was just that. My cousin, my siblings cousin, my father's first cousin, everyone's cousin!

Over the years after that summer,...
