You've been physically gone for two years but your spirit lives on in the testimonials and memories of many. I have enjoyed serving as coordinator of the Humphrey Program and I aspire to have a few of the good traits you had...but you left big shoes to fill. I miss you. I wish I could turn to you for guidance! I miss your smile. I miss your wisdom. I miss your immense ability to serve the Fellows. But we carry on! Cheers! Roger

Dr Brachman was not a teacher, he was like Sindh (My Province where my home is) for me, he was my home in USA, where I can learn, share life experiences without any pressure. He made me understand one thing, people are not good or bad, they are different. And from that day I never labeled someone good or bad on my subjective judgment. My entire career and life will have lasting effect of Dr Brachman forever. Thank you Dr Brachman
To me Dr Brachman was a Holy and Spiritual Human, and I strongly believe in it based on the evidence, that he passed away on eve of 1st Ramazam of 2016, we Muslims, strongly believe, the one who is very close to God, Loved by God is given this respect and God call them on the eve or during the most honored, respected and holy month of year. I Miss you and will keep missing you in my life to come.

He inspired all of us in many different ways.....by his great dedication to the EIP program and contribution to the global health.....by his way of living in humanity, etc.
He is my role model, great mentor and the best Professor ever.
He will be sadly missed forever.

Prof Brachman, my unforgettable teacher
It was a great sad to hear of the passing of prof Brachman. In 2001, I joined theInternational Course in Applied Epidemiology in CDC. From then on, he became one of my unforgettable teachers. In 2005, Prof Brachman was invitted to visit the SZCDC in China and his lectures and laughter have stayed here. I recommended four of my students to attend his courses in 2008 and my students brought back his greetings and expectations. I always thought he'd always be with us.
