(10 May 1935 – 5 April 2022)
The Waynflete Office has been informed of the death of Cedric Shorey at the age of 86. We are grateful to his brother David Shorey (OW 1955) for the following obituary.
It is with sadness that I report that my brother, Professor Cedric D. Shorey, died on 5th April in Sydney, Australia aged 86 years. Cedric attended MCS from 1944 to 1953, after which he served in the British Army for 3 years, partly in Germany.
In 1960 he emigrated to Australia with a wife and small child to take up an appointment as a technical officer at Armidale University. In 1961 he transferred to Sydney University as a professional officer in electron microscopy, later obtaining a masters science degree at the University of New South Wales based upon research centred on the breeding cycle of the possum.
He was later promoted to a senior lectureship at Sydney University, in 1970 obtaining a research degree as doctor of philosophy and eventually becoming an Associate Professor in the Anatomy and Histology Department of that university.
While at MCS he was a scout with Frank Garside’s 40th Oxford 5th troop, later becoming a Queen’s scout, and in 1971 he received the Prince Philip medal for science technology.
