Professor John Tulloch died on 4 October 2013, having defied cancer since 2000. 

In the last few weeks of his life, John came under the care of the Marie Curie Hospice in Hampstead and its outstanding team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and health care assistants.  

At the Hospice, John regained his physical and mental strength, which made it possible for him to return home where we all wanted him to be.

We will always be enormously grateful to Marie Curie, for giving John the respect and support he needed to become happy again, and to regain his thirst for life.

Rather than sending flowers in his memory, please consider donating to this immensely worthwhile organisation.
