Obituaries

On this page you will find links to the obituaries of Fellows of the Society who have died since 2000, listed in alphabetical order by last name.

These are reproduced from a variety of sources, and we are always grateful for further information about obituaries for late Fellows that we might have missed.

We are also very grateful for any further tributes, memories, appreciations or celebrations of the lives of former Fellows.

The 'Obituary archive' folder in the green menu box on the right contains brief obituaries of Fellows who died between April 1995 and October 2000. Typing a name in the 'Search' box will help you find relevant entries.
