Bob George

We are sad to report that Robert “Bob” George passed away on 9th November.

 

We understand that he maintained his interest in his past studies and that he read continuously until two weeks before his death, especially the periodicals and journals he received from the many societies to which he belonged.

Bob was awarded Honorary membership of the NBN Trust at the NBN Conference on 18th November 2005.  This was given to him in recognition of his services to the study of insects and biological recording, notably for his long service, since before 1960, as voluntary organiser of the UK Siphonaptera (Flea) Recording Scheme, and for his pioneering work in supporting the employment of standard nets for sampling insect populations.

We would like to pass on our condolences to Bob's family and friends.

Bob's obituary appeared in The Daily Telegraph and in the Bournemouth Echo.

We featured Bob's award in NBN News Spring 2006 and you can see the article below.
