In Loving Memory of Ticky
It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to my dear friend and colleague, Ticky. A cold chain and logistics expert, Ticky was more than just a professional; he was a pillar of knowledge, a mentor, and a compassionate soul whose commitment to excellence left a lasting impact on all who worked with him.
For years, I shared not only work but also a passion for learning and collaboration, especially in organizing and delivering courses and learning events through the WHO Global Learning Opportunities network (Effective Vaccine Management, Effective Vaccine Store Management, Facilitation Skills, e-VVM-based vaccine management, Vaccine management on wheels, Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Management on Wheels courses). Ticky’s calm demeanor, sharp mind, and unwavering dedication were invaluable, and his presence brought both warmth and wisdom to every challenge we faced.
Ticky’s contributions will forever be remembered in the communities he served and in the hearts of those who had the privilege of working alongside him. I will miss his friendship, his laughter, and his unwavering support.
My deepest condolences to Nicole and Carl during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Ticky.
