At the International Congress of Dipterology in San José, Costa Rica I just heared that Paul Freeman, former Keeper of Entomology at the British Museum (Natural History) died a few days ago. Besides a lot of work on Chironomidae het worked on several other groups of Nematocera. Many of the NW European dipterists will be most acquainted with 'Freeman and Lane', the Handbook for the Identification of British Insects on Bibionida and Scatopsidae.
There are two online obituaries:
