146 OBITUARIES Shortly thereafter Peter met his future wife Sheila at a committee meeting of the Esher Young Conservatives. They had both been enrolled in the group by their mothers in the hope that they would finally meet someone. Peter and Sheila shared a deeply felt shyness and soon found out that they had much in common. After a short period they were married, and remained happily together for over 50 years. It was in London that Peter started his professional career, but he was also sent by Matthew Wrightson (now Stewart Wrightson) to Milan and Bern. In 1956 he left for Lisbon to open up an office for the company. It was assumed that he would be gone for two or three months, but he never came back. Life in Lisbon suited Peter and Sheila well and he saw no reason to give up the fine view from his office in the High Town overlooking the harbour, declining all offers of promotion that would entail him moving. The couple stayed on in Lisbon even after Peter’s retirement in 1988. By that time they had seen their adopted country undergo profound political changes which had taken it from a backwards military dictatorship to a modern democracy. Peter learned Portuguese close to perfection and acquired an intimate knowledge of the country’s customs and culture. Peter also retained a strong affection for his English roots throughout his life. This attachment manifested itself not only in sentimental bonds but also in his work for the British community in Lisbon that he served by way of various charities and committees. His engagement with the British Legion was the one that lay closest to his heart. Peter even represented Britain at the Portuguese Remembrance Day celebration for several years. He would surprise everyone at such events by the number of decorations that he had from his time in the RAF, as his modest demeanour made it difficult for anyone to guess. The last period of Peter’s life was marred by Alzheimer’s, but he passed away peacefully in his sleep the day before the death of his best friend from Harrow and King’s, Robin Farquharson. Peter is survived by his wife, their two children William and Emma and two granddaughters.
ROBERT FRANCIS INNES (1935) was born on Anglesey on 20 January 1914.After attending Llangefni Grammar School he obtained a BSc from the University College of North Wales. He then came to King’s to take the Postgraduate Diploma in Agriculture, before going on to become an Associate of the Imperial College ofTropical Agriculture inTrinidad. In 1938 Robert joined HM Colonial Agricultural Service in Jamaica as an agricultural chemist and in 1947 he became Director of Research at the Sugar Manufacturers Association of Jamaica. He then moved to Booker Agricultural Holdings as a technical director, a role he performed in various Booker companies in London, the USA and Canada. Robert published various papers on soils and tropical crops. He was made a CBE in 1969 and in 1971 was awarded an Honorary DSc by the University of theWest Indies. He married his wife Helen in 1941. Robert died in September 1999, in Canada. MICHAEL JOHN LEO JURGENS (1951) was born in Weybridge, Surrey, on 24 July 1931. He was the only son born to Dutch parents, and held dual British and Dutch nationality.After attending Downside School, Michael was called up for National Service in the XII Royal Lancers. A commission was refused on the grounds that he was not English enough. Michael protested, arguing that if he was English enough to be called up then he was surely English enough to go for a commission. He was eventually commissioned in the Lancers before being moved to the Northamptonshire Yeomanry. In 1951 Michael went up to King’s where he read History and Law. His time in Cambridge was a happy one to which he often returned in later life as he reminisced about his youth.After graduating in 1954, Michael went to work on Wall Street for Kuhn Loeb in New York City. This period in the USA was interrupted by a sojourn in Amsterdam when Michael worked for Pierson and Co. After a few years Michael returned to London where he continued working in banking and international business. 147 OBITUARIES
