Bedford BC - OFFICIAL-Unsecure
Dear SHCG members,
Just wanted to let those of you who knew Robert Excell know that he sadly passed away a week ago Sunday suddenly. He was a regular at SHCG conference for many years and I shared a very memorable journey on the bus from Belfast to Derry in 2013 following the SHCG conference that year and remember Robert as a very gentle, generous, positive, knowledgeable and kind individual. He will be greatly missed by all in the museum world who had the pleasure of meeting him and working alongside him. I met Robert during his time as a curator at the London Transport Museum, most recently he had been volunteering following his retirement supporting a number of museums in the Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire area, always so very reliable and encouraging, may he rest in peace.
Milton Keynes Heritage Association would like to inform you of the very sad news that Robert Excell, the MKHA Chair, died suddenly on Sunday afternoon in Nash where he was visiting relatives. Our immediate thoughts are with Robert’s friends and relations.
Members of the MKHA Executive Committee are all very shocked and will need to take time to absorb this and think about MKHA. We remember all the work he has undertaken for history and heritage, in his quiet and unassuming way.
May he rest in peace. |
