I'm a bit late to post on this thread! It somehow slipped my attention. However, I knew of his death and was wondering whether I should start a thread. Sorry Vic, I should have trusted you! There is a good obituary in the Guardian. He was a very accomplished man and he will be greatly missed. My condolences go, as always, to all those who know and love him. He has his place in the "In Memoriam" thread. RIP
