Tribute

Burgess In a tribute to the late Pamela Burgess, LYNDON BRADDICK, director of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Scottish Department, writes:

It is with deep regret that the Society’s Scottish Department informs members of the sudden and untimely death of Pamela Burgess on 27 January. Pamela had worked in York Place for five years and was known to pharmacists throughout Scotland and beyond as the friendly face behind the reception desk and the helpful voice on the telephone.

She will be sadly missed and mourned by many people, and we send our sincere condolences to her family and friends.


Green In a tribute to the late Edward Peter Green (PJ, 15 January, p66), MARGARET SAVAGE writes:

I and my late husband came to know Peter Green and his wife Joyce when they were looking to buy a pharmacy in the York area and they eventually purchased the shop in Malton.

Peter quickly became an active member of the York branch of the Pharmaceutical Society and served as its chairman.

We had many memorable trips with them — first to Luxembourg and subsequently the Bahamas, a safari in Kenya, a Nile cruise, Bali, Vancouver and Marrakech.

Peter’s great love was trains and I will never forget his reaction in Luxembourg when the train he thought we were going on turned out to be a “toy” land train. Most memorable was the occasion in Vancouver when, in full overalls and cap, he waved delegates on to a train hauled by a restored steam locomotive, Royal Hudson.

Peter was an excellent and approachable pharmacist and together with Joyce, who managed the sundries side, they built up a thriving business and much goodwill in the town. I did the occasional locum for them and always found it a pleasant experience.

Peter also served at least twice as president of the Malton Chamber of Trade and Commerce and was a keen member of the local Lions Club.

Peter was outgoing and adventurous and full of energy and is a great loss both to pharmacy and all the other organisations with which he was involved.

I extend my sympathies to Joyce, daughter Karen, son Robert and their families.
