Professor James Stevens Curl
FoSOC have been very saddened to learn of the death, last Wednesday evening (5th November), of FoSOC’s President, Professor James Stevens Curl, peacefully at his home in Belfast. He has been our President, and a very good friend to us, from our very beginning, 2003. He and his wife Dorota took such a great personal interest in FoSOC and our activities at this cemetery, a place he regarded as a Treasure of Hampshire. He was always available and very willing to give his invaluable help and advice to us. He and Dorota came to our Remembrance Commemoration only just a few years ago. Our thoughts are with his wife Dorota, his daughters Astrid and Ingrid, and the family. We shall all miss him greatly and will remember a highly respected and lovely man.
