Jackie Caminer – died January 2017 aged 94, wife of David Caminer. Her daughter Hilary Caminer writes: `
My mother, Jackie, died this morning peacefully at home aged 94. Without her, my father’s LEO work would have been much harder for him – they were heroes and heroines those LEO partners.
She had a fine career in her own right as a teacher – teaching not only here but in Brussels and Luxembourg when my father was installing computers for the EU. She was also an ardent campaigner on adult education and on local issues as well as a fine dancer, artist and craftswoman. She missed my father terribly and counted many of his LEO colleagues as personal friends.
Doug Comish writes: I was very sorry to hear that your mother had died. She was a quite remarkable character with many accomplishments and a most wonderful wife for David.
She was a super support for him during an exciting and important career.
When you look back at what was achieved with LEO it was remarkable. It was a privilege to work with that outstanding team of people from all disciplines—from application designers, programmers, operators, design, development, and production engineers and marketeers. The manner in which they all pulled together and overcame problems was probably unique.
Your father played the major role but Jackie was a great support. You can be very proud of them.
