• W3185778837 abstract "Roger was born on 18 December 1928 to French and English parents and passed away peacefully on 30 April 2021. He was raised mainly in London, educated initially at Battersea Grammar School and progressing to Imperial College London where he gained a First in Mathematics. Having completed his National Service in the RAF, he joined Reckitt and Colman in Hull in 1956 and worked in the Statistics Department under Bill Pridmore. His work focused on improving their production systems, and in particular, the formulation of disprin to alleviate headaches. Roger became a fellow of the RSS in 1950. He served on the Editorial Panel of JRSS Series C from 1968 to 1983 and was Joint Editor from 1968 to 1971. Roger was a member of the Industrial Applications Section Committee from 1965 to 1976, serving as both Vice Chair (1967–1968) and Chair (1968–1970). He presented a talk at a Section meeting in May 1962 entitled ‘A Statistician in Automatic Data Processing’. Roger was the founding member of the Humber Local Group of the RSS and served as Chair (1967–1968, 1984–1985 and 1994–1996) and Secretary/Treasurer (1975–1976 and 1990–1991). He was also a member of the British Computer Society. Roger joined the University of Hull’s sub-department of Operational Research (then part of the Department of Economics and Commerce) in October 1968, working under Jim Morrison (who was considered by many to be the father of statistical engineering). At the time, the Department offered a postgraduate course in Operational Research, first as a Diploma then later as an MSc, and Roger taught the statistics courses included in these programmes. These courses required students to submit a project based on real problems provided by local industry. His industrial experience proved to be very helpful when giving advice to students and he shared in their supervision. The department later developed into the Department of Management Systems and Sciences and undergraduate programme was introduced. He developed statistics courses for undergraduate degree programme and his teaching covered forecasting, applied probability, subjective probability relating to policy analysis and project management. He undertook consultancy work for a wide range of local companies, regularly returning home brandishing free samples that he had been given as a ‘thank you’. Roger programmed computers as part of his work at a time when few people had ever seen one, let alone understood how to use them. He would come home with big stacks of surplus computer printout that his children treated as an unlimited supply of drawing paper. Roger’s interests were extremely wide ranging. He was a lover of museums and art galleries where he would happily pace corridors for hours on end, seemingly reading every caption and examining every exhibit, and sang bass for many years in the Hull Bach Choir. During retirement, he enjoyed visiting places of historic interest, walking, singing, playing croquet and bridge, much of this through the Hessle group of University of the Third Age, for which he led a French conversation class. He also enjoyed travelling with his wife Lindsay, especially to France where he would speak fluent French with the locals, or within Britain, to visit his four children, their partners and his eight grandchildren. Roger will be remembered as a kind and generous family man, who contributed to industrial advancement, both directly and by educating the next generation of industrial statisticians." @default.
