Obituaries a wide-ranging, broad comprehension of current issues and ability to place them into historical and even philosophical context. Despite his increasing health problems, Dick remained upbeat, acknowledging his frailties but never complaining about them or letting them interfere with his life, continuing to have a very positive outlook on life and a confidence in the people around him including his doctors and their medical interventions. He was always interested in trying new things and embraced technological innovations with an almost child-like fascination and pleasure. The College is very grateful for his support and generosity over the years. He was an Eglesfield Benefactor and member of the Taberdars’ Society. Dick is survived by his two cats, Kitzmiller (named after his childhood cat) and Lionel, and his wife and scuba diving companion, Barbara Dickson Stewart. RICHARD TUCKER Sir Richard Tucker was educated at Shrewsbury School, and following National Service read Jurisprudence at Queen’s from 1950 to 1953. He joined Lincoln’s Inn and was called to the Bar in 1954, became a Bencher in 1979 and subsequently Treasurer in 2002. As a junior barrister he practised in Birmingham, then on taking silk in 1972 moved to London chambers where he built up his extensive practice covering crime and civil work. He was appointed a Recorder in 1972 until 1985 when he was appointed to the High Court Bench. He was also appointed Presiding Judge of the then Midland & Oxford Circuit (1986- 90). After his official retirement, he carried on sitting as a deputy High Court Judge, was a member of the Employment Appeal Tribunal (1986-2000) and of the Parole Board (1996-2003). He also worked as a Commissioner at the Jersey Royal Court (2003-2010) and The Cayman Islands. Sir Richard’s lifelong passion at Queen’s was for rowing, and he became Captain of Boats in 1952 when he also rowed for Isis at Henley. Other recreations included sailing, shooting and gardening, and later in retirement he built a fine model railway. He married three times and is succeeded by his wife Jacqueline, three children and four grandchildren. His fondness for Queen’s was rewarded when he was made an Honorary Fellow in 1992.

PIETER ZWART Pieter loved his time at The Queen’s College. He was born in Cape Town of Dutch parents and after a first degree at Natal University, he was thrilled to be offered a place at Oxford to read Law in 1959. I met him on Cherwell, the University’s student newspaper, of which he became deputy editor. We became engaged in the Nun’s Garden at a Summer Ball and we were married for 57 years. Obituaries From Oxford, Pieter went on to become The Daily Mirror’s first graduate trainee. He eventually joined The Times in the obituary department. Despite his brilliant start, his life was dogged by mental illness and he had to take early retirement. However, after our move to Woodstock, he was much involved in voluntary work especially for Art in Woodstock Week and the Stroke Club. He also delighted in spending time with his four children and ten grandchildren. One of the highlights of Pieter’s later years was the acceptance by the Provost of Queen’s of his gift of a picture of the Queen’s College from the High Street. He was so thrilled when we were invited to lunch to see it hanging in the MCR. Christine Zwart College Record 2020 | The Queen’s College 137
