> Dear Jeff - I have some said news to report to the Leish-sand fly
> community
>
> Yesterday I learned about Richard Titus passing in Fort Collins, Colorado,
> this past Sunday January 20th. Richard was an estimated colleague whom I
> had the pleasure of meeting many years ago and have maintained close
> contact in the last few years. Richard had a significant impact in the
> field of sand flies and Leishmania, and many folks will remember him from
> his contributions regarding the role of sand fly saliva and salivary
> molecules in exacerbation of disease and immunomodulation in vertebrates.
> >From the seminal work Richard and others published, many of us have
> embarked in understanding the roles of saliva and salivary proteins not
> only with regard to transmission of Leishmania by sand flies, but also in
> other vector-pathogen models. Richard also significantly contributed to
> the training of many students from all over the globe who spent time in
> his lab at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. I recall one of his
> stories about his nearly 25 years of working with vector saliva and having
> to explain to family members what was that he did as an MD. Richard would
> simply state that "after all the hard work of going through med school and
> hours and hours in the lab he worked with spit".
>
> He was a good colleague and someone I will miss and remember dearly.
> Richard is survived by his daughter Katherine and grandson Christopher. I
> also was informed that funeral arrangements are being or will be made
> locally by Bohlander Funeral Chapel (www.bohlenderfuneralchapel.com).
