We were deeply saddened to have received the news of the sudden death of our dear friend Bob Nicolson (Lochindorb) on 10th March 2025.
Most will know of the amazingly comprehensive breed database which he generously entrusted to the guardianship of the ESSC in September 2022.
At that time, he was also co-opted onto the ESSC database Committee, continuing for almost 3 years as an advisor working with our web team.
At the ESSC AGM in May 2023, Bob was made an Honorary Life Member of the ESSC for his outstanding contribution to the breed.
What a legacy he has left the world of the English Springer Spaniel, in effect 30 years of his life’s work on ESS pedigree and breed data history.
He will be greatly missed, and we send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to his devoted wife Mairi and family at what must be a most distressing time for them all.
