According to the obituary, Var was fascinated by the science of life and continued this knowledge as a veterinarian. However, the obituary said, the science to which he dedicated his career has now been underestimated by the same people who relied on his expertise.

“He was caring for those who badly offended him, a sentiment echoed by health care workers who are struggling to do their jobs while their societies turn against them or make their jobs more difficult,” the obituary said.
