He was devoted to his family and close to his friends. He passed away peacefully on March 3, 2018, when we lost a colossal figure in autonomic medicine, a discipline that only became established in the clinical and academic firmament during his lifetime. The focus of this obituary will be his pioneering work and achievements in autonomic medicine. His many other personal and athletic accomplishments have been described elsewhere [1, 2]. …
