David Tall died 😢 

Dear Amir

Sad news I’m afraid.
David died on Monday morning,15th July,  in Warwick Hospital.  He was 83.

His health conditions had got worse over the last few months and then he went seriously downhill last week.
His kidneys packed up and there was nothing the doctors could do.  He died peacefully with all the family there, which is what he would have wanted.

I was amazed that he was still writing academic papers until a couple of months ago and had plans for another book.

Funeral arrangements still to be made but probably not until the middle of August.
Please do pass on the news to anyone who would have known him.  I’m presently working my way through all his PhD and other students.

Best wishes

Sue and family

He was truly my academic dad and the reason I behave academically the way I do: simply by being human.
