Margaret Ethel Baker 1931–2018
We were sad to see this Family Notice in the Eastern Daily Press dated 11 March 2018.
Margaret joined HMSO Publications Division in Norwich on 12 February 1979 and was appointed Administrative Officer in December 1981.
Stuart McLaren adds: I eventually became Margaret’s manager on P4B and had the honour of making the presentation at her retirement party (photo above). Margaret introduced me to Mannington Hall, where she and her husband Brian were room stewards at Lord and Lady Walpole’s annual charities day event. Twenty-five years later I am still going there each September.
Gary William Turner 1940–2018
We have received the sad news, via Julie Pointer, that Gary died in February 2018. He joined HMSO in 1980 and worked in Publications Management Accounting in Norwich.
Gary’s family welcomes any old friends able to attend the service at 3 pm on Wednesday 14 February at Cromer Crematorium and afterwards at the Roman Camp Inn, which is a mile away in Aylmerton.
Matthew P Quinn 1920–2018
The Eastern Daily Press carried a family notice on 23 January 2018.
Matt joined HMSO in December 1966, transferring to Norwich and working in what was then Establishments Division. He was a keen member of the Norwich Irish community.
Lawrence Gould 1945–2018
Brian Watt sent us the sad news that Larry died, in Belfast, on Saturday 13 January 2018. He had been ill for some time.
Larry joined HMSO Belfast as a Printing Officer in October 1978 and was a lively member of the team up until privatisation of the office.

Pauline Ann Kirkpatrick 1946–2018
We were alerted by Neil Storey that Pauline sadly died on 8 January 2018. A celebration of her life will be held on Monday 29 January 1230 hours, at St Faith’s in Norwich. The Family Notice can be seen here.
Pauline joined HMSO as an AO in Finance Division in June 1989. Her warm personality will be missed by her many colleagues, both within HMSO and Norwich Union.
