The obituary notice of Dr Christopher GARDNER-THORPE

As a long-term patient of CGT’s, I would like to add my tribute to this true gentleman . He was supportive, thorough, and loyal to his patients- and ahead of his time. I particularly remember days on Kenn Ward and how CGT treated everyone with the same level of courtesy- from his patients through to all levels of hospital staff and medical colleagues. We remained friends post his retirement indeed exchanging email whilst he was poorly . I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to his family.Elaine K.

It was a pleasure to look after chris. Loved our night time chats. I miss him dearly

My sincere condolences to all the family. I had know CGT for many years, both professionally and a friend. My thoughts are with you all.

In the international community of physician historians, Christopher was a kindly, supportive and encouraging ambassador that helped us all along. I know my Canadian and American colleagues will miss his lovely hosted dinners, his gentle advice on our publications, and his love of medicine and its history.

I remember Dr Gardner Thorpe being our Consultant at Mardon Centre when I worked there, he was a true gentleman and very approachable. Heartfelt condolences to his family. ❤️‍🩹
