I understand that the death notice in 'The Times' a few days ago announcing the death of R. Guy Fison relates to Sir Richard Guy Fison, 4th baronet [1905].

Yes, my sources tell me it is the same man. His son, the new Baronet,
Sir Charles William FISON 5th Bt is 52 and unmarried. The heir
presumptive is his uncle, John Michael FISON, aged 88 and married
without issue since 1975. There are no other heirs to the title.

Sir Guy Fison, 4th Bt, DSC, master of wine, was born on January 9,
1917. He died on October 1, 2008, aged 91

The first chairman of the Institute of Masters of Wine, Sir Guy Fison
played a leading role in shaping the way we drink today though the
work he did in the industry’s various commissions. He also had a
distinguished war record as a naval officer who adapted radar to
lethal effect.


Richard Guy Fison was born in Bangor, North Wales in January 1917. He
was the eldest son of the wool merchant Sir Guy Fison, 3rd Baronet,
and his wife Gwladys, née Davies. His mother hailed from an immensely
rich ship-owning family. Fison succeeded his father in 1964.
