Some of you have already heard, but it is with great sadness that
I tell you that our friend and colleague Sebastian Rahtz passed
away on the 15 March 2016. He discovered last autumn that he had
late-stage brain cancer and shortly thereafter retired to spend
his remaining time with his family. Our thoughts are with his
wife Leonor, two daughters, and other family. There will be a
ceremony for Sebastian on the 24th March at 13:45 at the Oxford
Crematorium, Bayswater Rd, Oxford OX3 9RZ. It will be mostly for
family but anyone is welcome.They would like to invite anyone
else for a memorial on the 24th March at 15:00pm at the Friends
Meeting House, 42 St Giles, Oxford OX1 3LW. They invite you to
share this with anyone who may be interested.
Donations in Sebastian’s memory may be made to Sobell House
Hospice (http://www.sobellhouse.org/) or Macmillan Cancer Care
(http://www.macmillan.org.uk/), or care of The Individual Funeral
Company, 86 Rose Hill, Oxford, OX4 4HX.
I have set up a book of condolences at
http://goo.gl/forms/BjJRBOQho3 and a google photos shared album
at https://goo.gl/photos/gK8gsXZ3tVoTuG5w9 (which you can join
and add your own photos). These will be provided to his family at
a later date.
