Robin Eady

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Dr Eady in Edmonton, Alberta Canada back in 2014. Both myself and my family are so very grateful to him for the spark of hope he lit in me fifteen years ago. In 2005 I came across his story, devastated from a recent ESRD diagnosis at the age of 30 - borderline suicidal as wife and job were gone after this shock blew up my life. In my first week on dialysis I was told to apply for welfare while I waited for most of 30's for a deceased donor kidney. In...

I was privileged to nurse Dr Robin Eady in a dialysis unit in London many years ago. He was a brave and dedicated doctor and patient.

I was deeply saddened to hear of my wonderful Consultants loss and my heartfelt condolences go to his loving family and colleagues.

I was so privileged and grateful to have been his patient for very many years. I shall never forget his gentle kindness, his genuine interest in me and my family, and his care and time given on each special visit to both me and my Mum.

My heart felt condolences . May God give the family the strength to withstand this irreparable loss.

I am so sorry to lose Robin. In many ways, he lead my way. I first met him in New York when Dr. Scribner sent us both to be there for the reception of his Lasker Award because he was too sick to be there himself. When I was asked to speak for the Tanker Foundation in India, I spoke with Robin who had been there the year before. He helped prepare me for the event. It's so hard for me to imagine him being gone which is what I must do. It's very sad for me.

We (my wife and me) met Robin and Ann in Seattle during our mutual stay there in 1972-1973 and we have been very close friends since then. Robin and I shared a common admiration and love for our common mentor and almost father B.H.Scribner.
Courage, sharpness and strong will did not mask Robin's constant humour.
Our life will be empty without Robin

I will miss Robin's gentle encouragement, intellectual curiousity and determination. Sincere condolences to Ann, Tom and family. Remember those who leave us will always be with us in spirit and I am sure Robin will continue to watch over you and whisper in your ear from time to time.

Robin: great man, great scientist, great friend!
My condolence to Ann and Tom.
