Our hearts are heavy with the devastating loss of our colleagues and friends on June 4, 2007.

• David Ashburn, M.D., a fellow (physician-in-training) in cardiothoracic surgery
• Richard Chenault II, a transplant donation specialist with the U-M Transplant Program
• Dennis Hoyes, a Marlin air pilot
• Richard Lapensee, a transplant donation specialist with the U-M Transplant Program
• Bill Serra, a Marlin air pilot
• Martinus (Martin) Spoor, M.D., a cardiac surgeon who had been on the U-M faculty since 2003

Each of these men worked daily in the service of others. During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends and colleagues, and with the transplant patient and the patient's family.
