Edward Guy Gordon

Guy trained as a pathologist in Southampton and Oxford. He spent his consultant career in Dudley and Stourbridge, first as a general pathologist, and then as a histopathologist, in his later years appointing specialists in the other main disciplines. Where he was once a single consultant pathologist, there are now posts for 15. Between the world wars, before becoming a doctor, he served in the merchant navy, travelling the world and developing a lifelong love of the sea. During the second world war he served in the Royal Air Force. Guy regularly raced his yacht in the Solent. Predeceased by his son, he leaves a wife, Doreen; a daughter; and four grandchildren.
