I was certainly a better doctor and person for having known Igor, and very much looked forward to our weekly meetings and tramp round the hospital. It was his irrepressible good humour and positivity, combined with his consummate skill as a clinician, that restored my faith in the value of the exercise.

I never quite got to grips with his incredible humanity. He was so much more well read, knowledgeable, thoughtful, philosophical (whatever you care to mention), and yet his overwhelming humility meant everyone around him felt valued rather than inadequate.

Rest in peace

Igor was a charming and generous man. The world will be a poorer place without Igor. Loving thoughts go to Vedrana, an equally lovely person. C&V
