"...jointly authored scientific papers on the Moon." A slight tweak of wording needed to avoid the impression he was sitting at his desk on the Moon...! Incidentally although this isn't directly cited, I am happy for this clause not to have one because the publications are referred to under "Selected publications".
"In 1998 he retired from teaching and became an usher for ten years at Ashford County Court" and "He competed in the Silver Goblets for coxless pairs at the Henley Royal Regatta in 1968 and the following year was elected to membership of the Stewards' Enclosure": needs a tweak to avoid close paraphrasing of The Times obituary.
A pleasing article about a man I had the good fortune to know through a shared interest in one of his many (!) hobbies. This will be good to go when the fixes above have been made. Could this run on 23rd March, the first anniversary of his death? Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:55, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for such a thorough review. Will revise as you suggest.
