Dear BES Members
It is with a very heavy heart that I relay the sad news that Dr Mark Hunter (President 2019-2020), has passed away at home on Tuesday surrounded by his loving family. Mark gave his valuable time over many years to the work of the Society and was on its Council from 2007 to 2022. He was loved by all who crossed his path, and they remember him for his passion for Endodontics as well as running around with his camera taking photos of the prizewinners and speakers! He always made time for anyone who needed it and no job was ever too small. There were numerous virtual meetings at which he would famously go off on a tangent and after some time return to the subject at hand, but en route remind us all why we loved Endodontics! He was an inspirational teacher to the undergraduates at Manchester as well as postgraduates, dentists, colleagues and friends that surrounded him. We were lucky to have known him and luckier to call him a friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Di, and his children during this very difficult time.
We miss you Mark. Rest in Peace
Maria Lessani, President

Dear Friends,Di, Christian, Jahan and Hannah would like to thank everyone for the love and support they have received. They would like to invite you to join with them to celebrate Mark's life, a life well-lived and lived to the full.

A short service at Altrincham Crematorium for the family only, at 1.30 will follow immediately after the church service.
We would love for all friends and family to join us in a celebration for Mark at the Bowdon Rooms (formerly known as the Cinnamon Club) located at The Firs Road Bowdon, WA14 2TQ. The Bowdon Rooms will be able to welcome you from 1.30 onwards. There is ample parking available on site.
It would help us enormously to have an idea of how many people would like to attend. Please RSVP to Annabel at the BES at admin@britishendodonticsociety.org.uk by the 1st of March to let us know if you are able to join us.
There will be family flowers only. Throughout Mark's journey, he has been supported by The Christie Hospital and in particular the Palatine Ward. If you would like to support the Christie Hospital then please make a donation on the day via Dewey’s donation boxes.
