The funeral of Roy Maycock, president of the Society from 1992-2024, was held on Friday 15th November.
The Society was very well-represented and a eulogy was given by our chairman Matt Andrews. Matt paid tribute to Roy’s personality, skills, achievements and legacy also drawing on memories from members. After the funeral more memories were shared including the fact that Roy had become a Fellow of the Linnaean Society, the third member of MKNHS to do so, folllowing in the footsteps of Gordon Osborne and Bob Stott.
Roy’s family also announced that they had asked for any donations in memory of Roy to be made to Milton Keynes Natural History Society and that this can be done by via the donations page on the Funeral Director’s website:
Tributes & Donations – H. W. Mason & Sons – Funeral Directors in Milton Keynes
If you prefer not to do this online, do contact the Society Treasurer.
The Society committee will be considering how best to use any donations to commemorate Roy and support his legacy in the Society and would be happy to hear members’ views. Contact info@mknhs.org.uk or speak to a member of the committee..
