He was an enthusiastic teacher and gifted polymath, with rich cultural interests in the arts and natural history.
During the AIDS crisis he gave his time generously, undertaking substantial voluntary work, especially for OXAIDS. Involvement in the Jewish community was of central importance to him. He was a member of Leeds Sinai, Jackson’s Row, and the Manchester Liberal Jewish Community.
Prostate cancer diagnosed in 2011 forced him to retire prematurely, which was a great loss to Salford Royal. He leaves his devoted partner, David.
