The obituary notice of Dr John PEARCE

I will miss the wonderful 'JMS Pearce' letters and neurological parables.
They were always original and academic.
A loss to Neurology

Dan Healy
Consultant Neurologist
Dublin

John and I met for the first time in late 1983 when I applied for a consultant job in Cl Neurophysiology. He welcomed me helped me to settle and supported me to develop the department.
I came to know him as a generous, frank, intellectual whose interest wemt beyond his duty as a consultant neurologist. He was a great teacher whose desire for excellence lead to train generations of neurologists. When NHS started to demand from doctors to see more patients per unit of time, he put quality over quantity. I still remember him telling me " play the quality game not the number". I took his advice as the moto of my life. I shall remember him fondly.

John was a great teacher, a mentor and also a good friend. Besides Neurology he demonstrated vast knowledge on a variety of subjects . He even mentioned that he had met Mr Cogan of Cogan’s syndrome . He was an ophthalmologist he had consulted with Iris when in the states. He mentioned this to me as I have published a paper on Cogan’s Syndrome and Pyoderma Gangrenosum.
May his soul rest in peace and he leaves happy memories

RIP Dr Pearce. Condolences to all his family. John Lyon (Decorator)

I remember John with fondness and with great admiration. I am very sad to hear of his passing and send my love to all his family and the many whose lives he made better. His was a life lived well but he will be missed. May he rest in peace.
