Bob Godfrey - Animator. 27 May 1921 - 21 February 2013
There is an obituary at
http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2013/feb/22/bob-godfrey1
to which I can add little save that from the few times we bumped into each other I can confirm that he was a really nice bloke.
Some clips of his work can be seen at
