Abstract:

Dick Rowe (Fig.) would be embarrassed by this attention, as he was such a very modest man. Yet it is appropriate that the late Richard Desmond Rowe be included in Cardiology in the Young's Paediatric Cardiology Hall of Fame. As I consider the life and contributions of Dick Rowe, I am at first troubled, indeed saddened, by the realization that more than a decade has passed since his untimely and premature death just weeks before his planned retirement. I have his picture on the mantle of my office. Not a day goes by that I don't look at his countenance, however fleeting, reflecting on my good fortune to have worked with and considered Dick Rowe as mentor, colleague, teacher and friend. This sense of good fortune is shared by virtually all those touched by his warmth and generosity.
