Dear Psocoptera researchers,

It is with great sorrow that we announce the death of Bob Saville on Thursday 9th September.
Bob passed away peacefully in hospital in Edinburgh on Thursday 9th September after a sudden deterioration in his longstanding condition. His wife Val passes on her thanks to everyone who helped Bob with his studies of Psocoptera and to all who contributed to his leaving card and gift when he retired early from TWIC in April this year.
The (humanist) funeral ceremony will be held in the Cloister Chapel at Warriston Crematorium, Edinburgh, EH7 4HW at 11.30am on Friday 17th September and thereafter for refreshments at The Victoria Park House Hotel, 221 Ferry Road, Edinburgh EH6 4NN.
No flowers please. Donations may be sent to Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust http://www.buglife.org.uk/ who will use the funds appropriately.

Dr Claire L. Pannell
Centre Manager, The Wildlife Information Centre
