Dear Colleagues,
Those of you who knew Frank will be saddened to learn that he died suddenly
and unexpectedly on Saturday 5th March. Frank, who retired in 1994, had
been at Bristol since 1967 and had built up both a formidable personal
reputation for scholarship and the Department's reputation for Mediaeval
Studies. He was very widely known and respected, including in Germany,
where he had been a Lektor at Bonn for eleven years before taking up his
post at Bristol. He remained an active, benign, interested and lively
presence in the Department and Arts Faculty even after retirement. He will
be very sorely missed.
The funeral will be at Canford Crematorium, Bristol, at 1pm on Thursday
17th March.
Best wishes,
Anne Simon
