I was secretary to Bob Mitchell from 1968 until 1973. I began working with Bob while the University Botanic Garden was based at Westburn Lane then ultimately moved to the Canongate. Bob was a gentleman and always so appreciative of any work that was done for him.
I left the University Botanic Garden reluctantly to go home to my home town of Kirriemuir to get married.
Bob and Maureen were guests at my wedding.
So sad to hear of his passing, gone but in no way forgotten.
