Jane and family, I was so sorry to hear just this week of Vic's death .... I remember with great joy your wedding in Kenya which was such fun. I understand you will be visiting Wales soon, and it would be lovely to say 'hello'. Lyn Harper

Vic was a great inspiration to me throughout my early career in wildlife veterinary medicine and I feel privileged to have learnt all I know about wildlife post-mortem work from him. More importantly, though Vic was a beautiful person. Thank you Vic. And my very best wishes to your family and friends.

As new wildlife veterinarian it was very inspiring for me to meet Vic two years ago at the EWDA Conference in Berlin and hear about his amazing career in this field. In addition to being a pioneering vet he was also an absolutely wonderful person who took the time to speak to everybody in person. He will be greatly missed. Helle B.

Dear Jane and family, It was such a shock to hear this news...Vic has always seemed 'evergreen' over the years I have known him. His humour and knowledge has illuminated so many lives. The time we worked together was brief but such a privilege and is fondly remembered. Much of what I learnt, his meticulous technique and analytical approach, has been deployed in my career ever since. No-one has had a more positive influence on my approach to veterinary work than Vic. I hope I found time to thank him. There are not many who can be both forthright and universally liked and respected, as he was, and still fewer who have achieved so much in the cause of understanding and conserving our precious wildlife. He will be so missed. My thoughts are with you all. Phill Elliott
