The founder of the Danish Society of Diagnostic Ultrasound (DUDS), our mentor and great friend Hans Henrik Holm (HHH) has passed away at the age of 84. He had, even after progressive Parkinsonism, an enviable zest for life, and he never lost his most distinctive feature: a warm and welcoming person with a fantastic sense of humour. HHH’s importance to both Danish and international ultrasound imaging simply cannot be overstated. Even his nicknames “The father of interventional ultrasound” and “The father of Danish ultrasound” speaks for the greatness of his achievements.
