RIP George Michael 25.6.63 – 25.12.16

This was a very sad Christmas for UKTS. Like millions all over the world, we were shocked by the sudden, tragic passing of our Patron, George Michael. As well as being a brilliant and unique artist, George was the most thoughtful and generous Patron to us. For many years he was the largest individual supporter of UKTS; and there have been times when we would have struggled to continue without his support – for example, when our computer… systems failed completely in 2005, George came to our rescue. We would have loved to thank George publicly, but he always steadfastly refused to take any credit for his generosity. Only now that he has left us so tragically young can we say how much we owe to him. On behalf of our President, Board and all our members, our heartfelt condolences to George’s family and friends. He will always be remembered, not only for his artistic genius but as the kindest and most generous of men.
