<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">This is very sad news. Bob was certainly a pioneer scientist in the true sense, and made key contributions to several fields that have greatly benefitted those
of us following on. I have particular reason to be grateful, for when I started working with sandflies Richard Ward advised me to “go and visit Killick-Kendrick’s lab”. That was good advice and I spent a happy week in Ascot learning the sandfly business from
him and Mireille – it was very pleasurable and highly informative, and he always remained a source of good advice. I doubt whether there is anyone working on sandflies who has not had benefitted from his input directly or indirectly. My lasting memory of him
will be from the last ISOPS meeting held in Turkey earlier this year, wandering around the wonderful ruins at Ephesus and discussing science. He was as sharp as ever, but of course with impeccable good manners and a twinkle in his eye that characterised his
good humour. On a lighter note, I once backed a horse called Killick at Chester races at 7-1 – and it won! (Of course I then went and lost the winnings on other horses). It will be strange not to have Bob around, but as has been commented elsewhere it is up
to us to continue his tradition of good science, clear thinking and generosity of spirit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

has lost one of its icons and the breadth and depth of Bobīs comments on-line and at meetings based on years of experience is a terrible loss to us all. 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. He travelled extensively on field projects all over the world and together with Prof Rioux was seminal in understanding the ecology of leishmaniasis in the Southern
France where lived.</span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
