Ronald Cranford Passes Away

Ronald Cranford died last night in a hospice near Minneapolis. He was a good man and a good sport. We are all in his debt for his work in fighting to improve dying in america. Ron got in the trenches and helped people. We should learn from his example. - Arthur Caplan

I am so sorry to hear Ron Cranford has passed away, even though the things he started will continue to influence us all in clinical bioethics. I remember first meeting him at an ASLM&E conference in the early 80s and being drawn into his enthusiasm for clinical ethics. We served together on many committees, programs and boards over the years. I shall miss his funny laugh and direct talk.
