I am very sad to hear of Cedric's death - he and I worked very closely
on his system for collecting and disseminating the weather data at
Halesoven, and I when visited him there I found a generous and
thoughtful person, who cared greatly for his 'hobby' - a hobby that in
latter years consumed all his waking hours. As has been previously
mentioned, his data record was the longest for any individual in the
UK: he fully deserved the MBE for his persistence and dedication. I
shall greatly miss our very regular chats and discussions of weather
events.
