He was a marvel of a man. I had only a few chances to speak to him in depth, and I was amazed at his wide range of knowledge and interests. I was also delighted by his friendly persona and his great sense of humour. He will live on in our memories!<div><br></div><div>Joachim Clos<br><div><div>Am 23.10.2011 um 21:24 schrieb jeffrey shaw:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; "><div dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 17px; "><span class="ecxapple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px; "><span style="line-height: 17px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(42, 42, 42); background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; "> I have the very sad task to inform everybody that last night (22/10/2011) Bob Killick-Kendrick died.

Bobīs career spanned many areas of parasitology. He worked on trypanosomiasis in Nigeria with David Godfrey and on returning to England dedicated many years to malaria, in particular rodent malaria.
