I did not learn of Laurie's death until today, 1/1/22, when I saw a note from him as I sorted my own memorabilia. As a resident at St. Christopher's from 1972-75, he inspired me to become a caring clinician. I owe Laurie's establishment of a family support program for children with cancer and their families to my choice to become a pediatric psychiatrist. I also remember well, and fondly, Laurie's widow Judy Palmer who was senior to me in the residency program. Judy, I wish you the best and hope this site is still active. John Glazer

Laurie will always be remembered by the class of University of Toronto Meds 5T6. He was our Website Master who kept our class informed about about all members of the class as time passed. He was a true Mensch in his Pediatric Oncology field and used his skills to create a lasting repository of information about all class members. As time passed his compassionate skills were revealed as the Website developed. Our 5 year reunions were enriched by his presence and organizational skills. We can all enjoy his contribution to photography at which he excelled! Our thoughts go out his wife Judy and his family. My only regret is that we did no see him more often!

Laurie Naiman was a special mentor from my youth. Because of him I became a hematologist. Because of him I became a good physician. He was a gentle man and good man. He left a great legacy in medicine, but will always be remembered for the gentle spirit and kind soul that he was
