This in from Rosemary:

Dear Friend(s) and Colleagues


       I am very sorry to have to tell you that Cyril has lost his long
and courageous battle with illness. He died peacefully, whilst sleeping, on
Thursday (21st April), having been in hospital for 9 months. The funeral
will be on Tuesday 3rd May at Heavitree Parish Church, Exeter at 11am.
Details will be on his website as soon as possible: www.cyriltawney.co.uk


Your messages of love and support have been a great help to both of us
through this very difficult time, and you have my wholehearted thanks.


Rosemary.
