Dear Colleagues
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Prof John Paul.
He died this morning, peacefully in the company of his family. As you will all know, John was one of the founders of biomechanics and the department of Biomedical Engineering here at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. He played a leading role in establishing Bioengineering at Strathclyde as a global centre of excellence. He was also a lifelong contributor to ISB as a past president and in his relationship to ISB standards work.
I am sure that those who worked with John will feel this loss personally and will recognise the debt we own to John in respect of his life-time of achievements and the passion and energy he had for biomechanics , orthopaedics, movement science, rehabilitation and bioengineering. He will be greatly missed by us all.
Funeral details are not yet known but we are expecting that it will be planned for the end of next week. As soon as we receive further information we will let people know.
Obviously most of you will not be able to attend the funeral but we would be happy to forward messages of condolence to his family should you wish us to do so on your behalf. Please send them to A M Baran our departmental secretary at a.baran@strath.ac.uk and marked “in memoriam of Prof Paul”. You can also send them to me if you prefer
Regards
Phil
