The funeral will take place next week of the late Mr Clive Quinnell, former chief executive of the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, otherwise known as The Min.
Mr Quinnell, a well known local historian, died suddenly at his home in the city on September 26, aged 83.
The hospital is very much part of the history of the city, and Mr Quinnell until recently gave talks about it at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution, as well as local history societies.
He was an employee at the hospital for over 40 years, starting as a porter and working his way up to become CEO.
Mr Quinnell met his wife Rita, who died earlier this year, when she was working at the hospital, and the couple got married in Bath Abbey.
He oversaw some milestones in The Min's history, including its 250th anniversary, marked by a masked ball at the Pump Room to mirror the original masked ball to raise funds to found the hospital.
Mr Quinnell retired in 1994, but maintained an active interest in the future of The Min, and was more than happy to speak about its history at various meetings around the city.
As well as history, he was talented photographer and artist, and he was also a keen ballroom dancer when he was younger.
Nikki Frayling, funding co-ordinator at The Min, who recently celebrated 50 years service there, has many happy memories of working alongside Mr Quinnell.
She said: "Clive always put patients first, he was always firm but fair and had a great sense of humour."
The funeral will take place at Saint John's Church, South Parade on Tuesday, October 21 at 10am.
