So many of us felt the absence of Dr. George Williams at #TXAnes25 this past week/weekend. Though he is no longer with us, his presence and impact are still felt by so many in the anesthesiology community. Wearing a bow tie in his honor is just one way to keep his memory alive. We will forever miss his smiling face and perfectly placed bow tie. Our thoughts are with his family, friends & all who knew him during this difficult time.
