Eddie Gillis

I’m shocked to hear of Eddie’s death. He and I joined in the same 1974 intake, to work on installing Monitor, the total installations of which at that time stood at just 23! 

Eddie was a cool, calm and very intelligent computer engineer, he was a pleasure to work with, a great colleague and friend, and a true gentleman. To top it all, he was an avid Chelsea supporter! 

We missed him when he left Field Group, and he went on to have a fantastic career in Reuters. 

A sad loss. ■
