Michael Burn: 1912 - 2010

74087: KRRC and 6/2 Commando

Micky passed away, at home in North Wales, on Friday evening, September 3rd. I spite of his 97 years, I guess we had all come to believe in his indestructibility. Right to the end, he was making notes for our film about his life - lest we lose our way and fail to note that he, as ever, was in charge. We now take on the task of recording and collating his very extensive archive, the record of a life lived to the full. As Micky so ably demonstrated, ageing does not have to mean 'getting old'. Discovery and achievement remain for us all as stepping-stones to ongoing accomplishment. 

His example will not be forgotten by those of us he continued to test with theories born of an interrogative intellect. Rest in Peace, Micky.
