It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of a great man. On Sunday, April 19th, ICSUS Past President (2001) and Past Chair of the AANOS, Dr. Kazem Fathie died at the age of 91 .Dr. Fathie had been ill for quite some time and based on what is known his demise was not COVID related. The contributions Dr. Fathie made were immense. His greatest accomplishment as a leader of both groups could easily be argued to be the partnership that he helped to establish in 2004 between ICSUS and AANOS. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.
