From the Retired Lives Facebook group:

Information received from Peter Brown 'I am sorry to be the bearer of sad news, but Pete Atkinson (former Chief Inspector) passed away recently after a long illness. May he Rest in Peace'.

From Brian Gosden (On Facebook)
It is with sadness that I report the death of Robert (Bob) Evans on Sunday 26th July after a long and brave battle with cancer.

Bob joined BTP in August 1991 as a communications officer in FCC at Tavistock Place, later moving to MICC and then to Camden as a Command and Control System Administrator; he retired in 2014. As well as being a loyal member of the communications team, Bob will have been a recognised voice on the phone and radio to many of you across all areas of the force.

Condolences to Bob’s wife Janet, his daughters and grandchildren. RIP Bob.

I will post details of the funeral when I receive them.
