*From:* Brian Randell <[email protected]> *Date:* March 22, 2010 6:12:29 PM EDT *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* *Robin Milner R.I.P.* This very sad news, about one of the UK's leading computer scientists, winner of the 1991 Turing Award, a wonderful person who I was proud to regard as a friend as well as a colleague, has just been posted to the UKCRC (UK Computing Research Committee) mailing list. Brian From: Michael Fourman <[email protected]> Subject: Sad news Dear Colleagues, I am deeply saddened to pass on the following message from Barney and Chloë Milner: "We are sorry to announce that Robin Milner died on Saturday 20th March, in Cambridge, just three days after the funeral of his wife, Lucy. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, as well as the academic community. We are expecting there to be a symposium in due course to provide an opportunity for Robin's many academic colleagues to celebrate him and his work.
