IT was with the greatest sadness that I learnt today of the death of Professor Robert Giddings.
I met Bob as a mature student at Bournemouth University and the warmth, generosity and humanity of the man will never leave me.
As is so often the case only yesterday I thought I had not seen him in a while and that I must get in touch.
Sadly that will now not be the case but his kindness, irreverent humour, literary knowledge and not to mention incredible courage was truly inspirational.
You will be sadly missed Bob, and are irreplaceable.
