Abstract
John Sproson, an SF practitioner and enthusiast from the early days of SF in organisations, passed away this year. He is remembered by the SOLworld community ( http://bit.ly/ZZA6c1 ) and SFCT community as a supportive, enthusiastic, welcoming, generous man with a great sense of humour, always impeccably dressed and helpful to “newbees” and “veterans” alike. He was always very respectful and “curious not furious” when he disagreed as can be read in his posts in the archives of the SOL-listserve. In his illness he showed great courage and dignity. He inspired us by his will to carry on and to take one step at a time. He was able to lead his daughter down the aisle last year, which had been one of his goals. He was also involved in the Pancreatic Cancer UK charity, giving hope to others with the diagnosis and advocat- ing improvements to early diagnosis.
