He was funny, warm, and intelligent too,
Loved by all who knew him, that's what they'd do.

A dedicated scientist, beyond compare.

And then to senior officer, he rose to the game.
He left the RSB, to travel and explore,
Volunteering in Ecuador, and more, and more.
He visited Minca, and researched with glee,
Local animal species, a scientist's spree.

Local animal species, a scientist's spree.
But in Santa Marta, his journey did end,
In a suitcase, his body, a tragic trend.
Dismembered and found, in a stream so cold,
A life cut short, a story to be told.
